“First Man” Book Signing and Lecture with Author James Hansen

Join the Museum of Flight for a reception, lecture and book signing with James R. Hansen, who wrote First Man, the only authorized biography (now a major motion picture) on the life of America’s most famous astronaut, Neil Armstrong — the man whose “one small step” changed history.

When Apollo 11 touched down on the Moon’s surface in 1969, the first man on the Moon became a legend. In First Man, author James R. Hansen explores the life of Neil Armstrong. Based on over fifty hours of interviews with the intensely private Armstrong, who also gave Hansen exclusive access to private documents and family sources, this “magnificent panorama of the second half of the American twentieth century” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) is an unparalleled biography of an American icon.
