The Purdue University football team, the Boilermakers, will wear a decal on their helmets this season featuring a spacesuited astronaut holding a Purdue flag in honor of Neil Armstrong.
Armstrong was a Purdue alum, as are 20 other astronauts, including Eugene Cernan, the latest man to stand on the Moon as commander of Apollo 17. Purdue's new engineering building was already named for Armstrong. A statue of the astronaut as a student sits outside the building and was the focal point of a memorial service held shortly after Armstrong's death.
