Former NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong is donating his papers to Purdue University, his alma mater, the school announced yesterday. The commander of Apollo 11, and therefore the first human to set booted foot on the Moon, graduated from Purdue in 1955 after flying Navy fighters in combat missions during the Korean War.
Purdue is already home to the collected papers of Amelia Earhart, and a leader in education in both aviation and aerospace engineering.
Armstrong's papers cover his entire career, and have yet to be studied as a body by historians.
