My Moon Shot

I felt a real sadness when Eagle Scout Neil Armstrong died a few days ago.  My own Scouting career coincided with the “space race” decade of the 1960’s, and I lived in Huntsville, Alabama, home of the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center.  To me, Neil Armstrong was the epitome of what it is to be an Eagle Scout.  I would like to pass along the following story of a Scout who persuades Mr. Armstrong to become his Space Exploration merit badge counselor.   The story, “My Moon Shot”, speaks volumes about Neil Armstrong’s grace and humility.
