6. 2 Obstacles Two Obstacles the protagonist had to overcome and what these two events say about the character’s personality and purpose. Armstrong, along with pilot Stan Butchart, reacted coolly, testing the bomber's controls. Butchart's were gone, but Armstrong still had some flight control linkage, so together they prepared the aircraft for an emergency landing. They had been trying unsuccessfully for some time to feather the number four propeller. Seconds before the disintegration, they had jettisoned the D-558-II Skyrocket research craft with pilot Jack McKay aboard to land early, due to a stuck valve on the Skyrocket, as well as the large workload the propeller problem presented. "In those days space flight was not generally regarded as a realistic objective, and it was a bit pie-in-the-sky. So although we were working toward that end, it was not something that we acknowledged much publicly,"

7. 1 Conclusion Paragraph Your own conclusion about the impact the subject had on American society. Neil Armstrong is looked up to for his achievements and these three traits: courage, determination and adventurousness. These traits were important to him because he would not have been as successful as he was without them. He is an American hero because he helped our country catch up with Russia in space exploration. When I see a jet up in the sky, I will always think of Neil Armstrong. Neil Armstrong’s life taught me that any goal can be reached if we work hard, work together, are determined and not afraid to take responsible risks. His important contributions to our country and to the world make me proud to be an American. He is my hero. *conclusion samples borrowed from the Science Heroes Project at http://www.myheros.com
