Becoming a Pilot:

Neil worked hard in school and studied engineering. He became a pilot and flew many different types of airplanes. He even became a test pilot, flying new and fast planes to see how they worked.


Joining NASA:

Neil's love for flying led him to join NASA, the space agency. He trained very hard to become an astronaut. He learned how to live and work in space.
