One small step for man,one giant leap for mankind.whether you’ve ever wanted to walk a mile in Neil Armstrongs shoes, this is the closest you can get to the genuine thing. On the grounds outside Purdue’s Neil Armstrong corridor of Engineering, and several concrete boot prints are publicly available for you to follow an astronaut’s steps on the moon.
Neil Armstrong received a BS in Aeronautical Engineering from Purdue in 1955,and was awarded an honorary doctorate in 1970. So, it’s only fitting that the university’s engineering school is named after him.
The statue and footprints were unveiled in October 2007. The statue depicts Neil Armstrong as a college student in the 1950s, or well before his historic first steps on the moon.
