A Special Statue in Los Angeles

There is a beautiful statue of Neil Armstrong in Los Angeles. You can find it on the campus of the University of Southern California. It is made of bronze and stands very tall.

Neil Armstrong was a student at the university before he became a NASA astronaut. He was the first person to walk on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission. The statue shows him in his Apollo spacesuit, holding his helmet.

The statue was created by a sculptor named Jon Hair and was shown to the public in August 2013. It reminds everyone of Armstrong’s amazing achievement and how he inspired many people to dream big.
