On July 20, 1969, the Apollo
11 mission made history when it successfully landed on the moon.
The spacecraft carried a crew of three astronauts: Neil Armstrong,
Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. After a nerve-wracking descent,
Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon,

mankind." They collected samples, conducted experiments, and took
photos of the moon's surface. After their mission, the crew
