Who Was Neil Armstrong - 尼尔·阿姆斯特朗 THE FIRST FLIGHT ACROSS THE ATLANTIC(在线收听

ON MAY 20, 1927, A YOUNG PILOT NAMED CHARLES LINDBERGH SET OUT FROM LONG ISLAND ALL BY HIMSELF IN A SMALL, SINGLE-ENGINE PLANE TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. IT WAS CALLED THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS. THE TRIP WAS DARING AND DANGEROUS. LINDBERGH HAD NO RADIO OR PARACHUTE. THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH ROOM IN THE COCKPIT FOR HIM TO SIT WITH HIS LEGS BENT.
IN PARIS, THIRTY-THREE HOURS LATER, 100,000 PEOPLE WERE WAITING TO GREET CHARLES LINDBERGH. OVERNIGHT HE BECAME THE MOST FAMOUS MAN ON EARTH, AS FAMOUS AS NEIL ARMSTRONG WOULD BECOME A LITTLE MORE THAN FORTY YEARS LATER.
