Neil gets a moonrock

The First Man receives a moonrock.
I don't think he can really own it, though (as his children won't inherit it, for instance).

He has the remarkable gift of not speaking much BUT when he does, his words are very meaningful!

In front of the Congress, right after his flight, he said (page 575):

The Earth is, in fact, traveling many thousands of miles per hour in the direction of the constellation Hercules-to some unknown destination in the cosmos. Man must understand his universe in order to understand his destiny.
Mystery, however, is a very necessary ingredient in our lives. Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis for man's desire to understand.
