Armstrong Air & Space

Located in Armstrong’s home town of Wapakoneta, OH, this museum has the original flown Gemini 8 spacecraft—in which Armstrong and Dave Scott performed the first American docking in space—and nearly died when they went into a wicked spin. Also on display: the plane in which Armstrong learned to fly; Armstrong’s backup spacesuit for Apollo 11; a Gemini spacesuit fitted for Armstrong; an Apollo 11 moon rock; and a space shuttle landing simulator.
