The First Moon Landing

In the late 1960s, the USA was in a hurry to land people on the moon. They sent four spaceships into space, each carrying three astronauts, within just one year. In May 1969, Apollo 10 made the first successful journey around the moon. Six months later, Apollo 12 landed there carrying the first colour television cameras. But it was Apollo 11 that was the first to safely descend onto the moon’s surface on the evening of 20 July 1969.

In the early morning of 21 July, Neil Armstrong, the mission commander, stepped onto the moon, just five days after leaving Earth on 16 July. As his foot landed on the moon’s dusty surface, he said, ‘That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.’ After returning to Earth on 24 July 1969, the three astronauts became national heroes.

Scientists had already sent small spaceships around the moon. These were carrying cameras rather than people and were used to look for a good place to land. After travelling such a long way, it didn’t matter
if the site was further from Earth or not. They were looking for somewhere that was flat enough for
their spaceship to land without any risk to the astronauts.

After taking off from Florida, USA, the spaceship went around the Earth one and a half times. It did this to increase its speed for the journey to the moon. Three days later, it arrived at the moon and travelled around it many times in the twenty-four hours before landing.

To land on the moon, the spaceship split into two parts. One astronaut, Michael Collins, circled around the moon in one part, while the other two, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, descended onto the moon.
As Armstrong and Aldrin’s section moved towards the moon, Collins checked to see if there was any damage. As they got closer to the moon’s surface, Armstrong saw that they were not in the right place.
He knew they would end up quite far from where they’d hoped to land. Despite this, they had just
enough fuel to land safely in another, more rocky area.

After landing, the two astronauts were supposed to sleep for five hours, but they were too excited.
Their spacecraft wasn’t damaged, and nothing required fixing, so they began getting their
equipment ready. They would need this for finding out more about the moon’s surface when they
left the spacecraft for the first time.

At 2.56 in the morning, nearly six and a half hours after first landing, Neil Armstrong became the first person to put his foot on the moon. This was five hours earlier than planned because they had decided against the rest period. They spent only two and a half hours actually walking on the dusty surface of
the moon. Twenty-two hours later, the two astronauts lifted off to rejoin Collins on the second section
of the spaceship.

The first thing Armstrong did on the moon was collect small amounts of the material on the surface.
Both astronauts practised walking to prevent themselves falling over. Then they carried out many scientific experiments. These were interrupted at one point by the American president, Richard Nixon, who called the two men as they worked. As well as looking carefully at their ship, they took photos
of it so engineers on Earth could see any damage caused by the landing.

Just before leaving the moon, the astronauts made their spacecraft lighter by throwing things they didn’t need onto the moon’s surface. As well as several things they’d used in experiments, they dropped the shoes they’d worn on the moon and a heavy camera they no longer needed (but, of course, after taking out the film!). They also left a small bag of items they’d brought from home, including a medal given to the first man in space, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. All three men returned safely to Earth three days later, welcomed as heroes, but every single member of the team that had taken years to finally land a man on the moon also shared in their success.

What was the name of the mission that first landed on the moon?

if the site was further from Earth or not. They were looking for somewhere that was flat enough for
their spaceship to land without any risk to the astronauts.

After taking off from Florida, USA, the spaceship went around the Earth one and a half times. It did this to increase its speed for the journey to the moon. Three days later, it arrived at the moon and travelled around it many times in the twenty-four hours before landing.

To land on the moon, the spaceship split into two parts. One astronaut, Michael Collins, circled around the moon in one part, while the other two, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, descended onto the moon.
As Armstrong and Aldrin’s section moved towards the moon, Collins checked to see if there was any damage. As they got closer to the moon’s surface, Armstrong saw that they were not in the right place.
He knew they would end up quite far from where they’d hoped to land. Despite this, they had just
enough fuel to land safely in another, more rocky area.

After landing, the two astronauts were supposed to sleep for five hours, but they were too excited.
Their spacecraft wasn’t damaged, and nothing required fixing, so they began getting their
equipment ready. They would need this for finding out more about the moon’s surface when they
left the spacecraft for the first time.

At 2.56 in the morning, nearly six and a half hours after first landing, Neil Armstrong became the first person to put his foot on the moon. This was five hours earlier than planned because they had decided against the rest period. They spent only two and a half hours actually walking on the dusty surface of
the moon. Twenty-two hours later, the two astronauts lifted off to rejoin Collins on the second section
of the spaceship.

The first thing Armstrong did on the moon was collect small amounts of the material on the surface.
Both astronauts practised walking to prevent themselves falling over. Then they carried out many scientific experiments. These were interrupted at one point by the American president, Richard Nixon, who called the two men as they worked. As well as looking carefully at their ship, they took photos
of it so engineers on Earth could see any damage caused by the landing.

Just before leaving the moon, the astronauts made their spacecraft lighter by throwing things they didn’t need onto the moon’s surface. As well as several things they’d used in experiments, they dropped the shoes they’d worn on the moon and a heavy camera they no longer needed (but, of course, after taking out the film!). They also left a small bag of items they’d brought from home, including a medal given to the first man in space, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. All three men returned safely to Earth three days later, welcomed as heroes, but every single member of the team that had taken years to finally land a man on the moon also shared in their success.

Which of these items did the astronauts NOT leave on the moon?

The First Moon Landing

In the late 1960s, the USA was in a hurry to land people on the moon. They sent four spaceships into space, each carrying three astronauts, within just one year. In May 1969, Apollo 10 made the first successful journey around the moon. Six months later, Apollo 12 landed there carrying the first colour television cameras. But it was Apollo 11 that was the first to safely descend onto the moon’s surface on the evening of 20 July 1969.

In the early morning of 21 July, Neil Armstrong, the mission commander, stepped onto the moon, just five days after leaving Earth on 16 July. As his foot landed on the moon’s dusty surface, he said, ‘That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.’ After returning to Earth on 24 July 1969, the three astronauts became national heroes.

Scientists had already sent small spaceships around the moon. These were carrying cameras rather than people and were used to look for a good place to land. After travelling such a long way, it didn’t matter
if the site was further from Earth or not. They were looking for somewhere that was flat enough for
their spaceship to land without any risk to the astronauts.

What might one of the scientists on the mission write in his or her diary?
