Text, Questions & Answers

In 1969, a big step was made for mankind. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon. This event, known as Apollo 11 mission, happened on July 20, 1969. Did you know that the spaceship traveled 240,000 miles to reach the moon? That's almost 10 times the distance around the Earth! The moon landing was a significant milestone because it showed that humans could travel to other bodies in space. On the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin took soil samples and set up experiments. They described the moon's surface as 'like powdered charcoal'. The successful mission opened new possibilities for space exploration. Today, there are plans to send humans to Mars. The journey to the moon was just the beginning of our adventures in space.
