Ada Elementary student Richard Moed took the occasion to visit the Neil Armstrong Space Museum in nearby Wapakoneta, where he piloted a Gemini spacecraft in a docking maneuver, landed a LEM on the moon, and landed a Shuttle after its journey around the Earth. Not a bad day's work for a fourth grader.
