Explanation:
Everybody saw the Moon. Nobody had ever been there.
Humans across planet Earth watched in awe 50 years ago today as a powerful
Saturn V rocket attempted to launch humans -- to
the Moon.
Some in space flight guessed that the machinery was so complex, that so many things
had to go right for it to work, that
Apollo 11 would end up being
another
useful dress rehearsal for a later successful Moon-landing mission.
But to the Moon they went.
The featured
video starts by showing astronauts
Aldrin,
Armstrong, and
Collins
making their way to the waiting rocket.
As the large and
mighty
Saturn V launched, crowds watched from
Cape Canaveral in
Florida,
USA
and on television around the world.
The events that unfolded over the next few days, including a dramatic
moon walk
50 years ago this
Saturday, will forever be remembered as a milestone in
human history and an unrivaled demonstration of human ingenuity.
This week, many places around the world are planning
celebrations of the
50th anniversary of the first humans landing
on the Moon.
