As long as there are history books, Neil Armstrong will be included in them, remembered for taking humankindâ€™s first small step on a world beyond our own. Besides being one of Americaâ€™s greatest explorers, Neil carried himself with a grace and humility that was an example to us all. When President Kennedy challenged the nation to send a human to the moon, Neil Armstrong accepted without reservation. As we enter this next era of space exploration, we do so standing on the shoulders of Neil Armstrong.

Let me tell you, though: being the smartest boy in the world wasnâ€™t easy. I didnâ€™t ask for this. I didnâ€™t want this. On the contrary, it was a huge burden. First, there was the task of keeping my brain perfectly protected. My cerebral cortex was a national treasure, a masterpiece of the Sistine Chapel of brains. This was not something that could be treated frivolously. If I could have locked it in a safe, I would have. Instead, I became obsessed with brain damage.
