#OTD in 1962, during re-entry from 207,000 feet (ca. 63 km) in X-15-3, Neil Armstrong overshot Edwards AFB. He finally managed to turn back and land on the south end of Rogers Dry Lake. While landing, he had just 100 feet (ca. 30 m) of clearance between the trees on the lake bed. https://t.co/My1ZWaGMWI
