Neil Armstrong (the first man to walk on the moon!) was an astronaut as well as an aeronautical engineer. He did have some NASA experience prior to Apollo 11. In 1962, he became a member of the NASA Astronaut Corps’ second group. He flew into space for the first time as a command pilot on Gemini 8, becoming the first civilian astronaut to do so. In preparing for Apollo 11, Armstrong suffered a near-fatal accident. He was forced to eject moments before a crash during his second and final spaceflight.
