Moon Landing

Why the Moon?

The Moon is a bright ball in the night sky. It is close to Earth, so people wanted to visit it and learn more.

The Rocket

A big rocket called Apollo lifted off from Earth. It carried three astronauts: Neil, Buzz, and Michael. The rocket flew high, past clouds, and into space.

First Steps on the Moon

On July 20, 1969, Neil stepped onto the Moon. He said, “One small step…” Buzz joined him soon after. They walked, picked up rocks, and planted a flag.

What We Learned

The moon landing showed that humans can travel far. It taught us about the Moon’s surface and inspired many more space adventures.
