SUMMARY
# पायलट ने नील आर्मस्ट्रांग के बचपन के घर को बचाने में खर्चे करोड़ों

एक पायलट ने चंद्रमा पर पहला कदम रखने वाले नील आर्मस्ट्रांग के ओहायो स्थित बचपन के घर को ध्वस्त होने से बचाने के लिए करोड़ों रुपये खर्च किए। इस पायलट का नाम है **कैम केनी**। उन्होंने यह घर खरीदकर इसकी मरम्मत कराई ताकि इसे एक ऐतिहासिक धरोहर के रूप में संरक्षित किया जा सके। आर्मस्ट्रांग ने 1969 में अपोलो-11 मिशन के दौरान चंद्रमा पर कदम रखा था। केनी का मानना था कि अंतरिक्ष इतिहास की इस अमूल्य विरासत को नष्ट नहीं होने देना चाहिए। उन्होंने घर को म्यूजियम की तरह सजाकर आम लोगों के लिए खोला ताकि आने वाली पीढ़ियां आर्मस्ट्रांग की विरासत से प्रेरित हो सकें।
