The Great Leap: Apollo 11’s Adventure to the Moon
One sunny day in July 1969, millions of people on Earth looked up to the sky in anticipation. Apollo 11, a spaceship carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, was on its way to the moon! It was a result of years of teamwork and dedication. After four days of exciting journey through space, Armstrong and Aldrin hopped into a smaller vehicle called the lunar module and landed on the moon.
