Walking on the Moon
n July 16, 1969, three
astronauts and two
spacecraft were launched
into space to do things man
had never done before. They
would hear and see things
no man or woman had ever
seen or heard. They were
the first humans to land a
man on the moon!
The crew
was in this
command
module for
liftoff and
again for
splashdown.
Ready for Liftoff
The men and the two small spacecraft sat attached
to the top of a powerful rocket called a Saturn V.
(Saturn Five – V is the Roman numeral for the number 5.)

Slowly the astronauts landed
and Neil Armstrong uttered
the famous words, “The Eagle
has landed.”

Back on Earth, people all over the
world had been sitting on the edge of
their seats as they watched and waited
to know if the spacecraft was safe.
They held their breath as it became
apparent that fuel was running low.
When these famous words came
across their televisions and radios,
cheers went up worldwide!
The Columbia took the three astronauts to the moon.
The other smaller spacecraft,
the Eagle, took two of the
astronauts to the moon and
back to the Columbia.
One of these astronauts
had to stay back on the
Columbia to fly it and
be ready for the
Eagle to return with
the other two.

On July 20, 1969 the Eagle left the
safety of the Columbia and headed to
the moon. For a nerve-wracking
period of time the astronauts looked
for a level place to land before they
ran out of fuel. With only seconds to
go, they found a level spot in an area
named the Sea of Tranquility.
Why two spacecrafts?
The lunar
module, the
spacecraft
that would
land on the
moon, was
carried into
space here.
