On July 20, 1969, Wapakoneta native Neil Armstrong walked on the moon after riding Apollo 11 all the way into history. So when a young Ohioan named Jed Marquart – today a member of the ONU faculty –toured NASA’s Cape Kennedy mere days before the most famous space launch of all time, it’s easy to see why it made a lasting impact.
By Jed Marquart
FROM THE ONU WEBSITE - I turned 11 years old in May 1969. Growing up on a farm outside of Bluffton, like most kids who grew up during that time period, I was enthralled with the space race. I played with toy rockets and model airplanes, and I dreamed of being an astronaut and working for NASA.
