Text, Questions & Answers

Once upon a time, on July 16, 1969, a big rocket called Apollo 11 blasted off from Earth. It was carrying three brave astronauts: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Their mission? To land on the moon! After four days of journey, Neil and Buzz landed on the moon in a small spacecraft, while Michael waited in the command module. They planted a U.S. flag on the moon's surface and collected moon rocks. Neil said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
