Neil Armstrong first step on the moon
The
first man to walk on the moon was Neil Armstrong, on 20th July 1969He went there on a rocket ship called Apollo 11, built by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). It included a command module called Columbia and a lunar lander called the Eagle.
As Armstrong first set foot on the moon, he said the famous words "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." He actually intended to say "That's one small step for a man..." but in the excitement got it slightly wrong.
Also on board Apollo 11 were Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Aldrin joined Armstrong on the moon for 21 hours, while Collins stayed on board Columbia
Armstrong and Aldrin planted an American flag on the moon.
They returned to Earth and splashed down in the Pacific ocean on July 24.
There were five more manned lunar landings between 1969 and 1972. A total of 12 men have walked on the moon.
In 1971 an astronaut called Alan Shepard played golf on the moon.
Laika's trip into space.
Laika's trip into space.
Laika was, famously, the Soviet space dog that became the first earthling in space in 1957. This charming animated short by Avgousta Zourelidi is an imagining of her journey. Once she is launched in to space, Laika reminisces about the last three years, from the time she was plucked from the streets of Moscow to her training at Space City where she was chosen above two other dogs for the mission.

Of course, if you know the real story, you know that this cannot possibly have a happy ending. Yet Zourelidi manages one. For many thousands of people who look to the stars and the future (myself included), Laika has a special place in their hearts. This adds, beautifully, to her legend.
