Neil Armstrong once mowed graveyard grass for $1
Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, once had a job of trimming grass in a cemetery for $1, at the age of 10. Wapakoneta, the town housing the cemetery, now has a museum named after him. Armstrong, born on August 5, 1930, held several odd jobs in his childhood to pay for his $9-per-hour flying lessons.
