On July 20, 1969, three brave astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, made a journey that would be remembered forever. They traveled through space in a spacecraft called the Eagle Lunar Module to reach the moon. When Armstrong and Aldrin stepped onto the moon's surface, they saw Earth from a perspective never seen before. They felt a mix of excitement and awe as they planted the American flag.
