NASA renaming historic Florida facility for astronaut Neil Armstrong [i]The NASA building where Neil Armstrong stayed — and his lunar landing spacecraft was readied — before launching to the moon 45 years ago this month is being renamed for the late astronaut. The historic Operations and Checkout (O&C) Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center will be retitled for the first man to walk on the moon during a July 21 ceremony to be held at the Florida spaceport. Armstrong's Apollo 11 crew mates Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins will be joined at the ceremony by NASA administrator Charles Bolden and the center's director Robert Cabana to deliver remarks, NASA announced on Monday (July 7). Members of Armstrong's family are expected to attend the event as well. The 9 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT) ceremony will not be open to the public, but will be broadcast live on NASA's television channel and streamed through the agency's website.[/i]
