- The Day Of The Launch
- In The Pacific Ocean
- The 3 Astronauts
- On launch day, Collins, Armstrong and Aldrin sat at the very top of Saturn V in the command module. At 9:32am Saturn V’s engines fired and the rocket launched off from its tower. Twelve minutes later, the astronauts were orbiting Earth.
- Landed
- The Columbia Command Module has a custom made flotation collar to help it float when it landed in the Pacific Ocean.
- The Flag Placement
- Three astronauts were on board Saturn V: Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin. The astronauts had to go through lots of training to move around in their bulky spacesuits and test all the spacecraft’s equipment.
- Heading Back Down To Earth
- On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to step on the moon. After he stepped onto the lunar surface, Armstrong proclaimed these famous words: “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Twenty minutes later, Aldrin climbed down the ladder and joined his partner.
- After reading a plaque that said they “came in peace for all mankind,” the two planted the United States’ flag on the surface. President Richard Nixon called to congratulate the astronauts.
- He and Aldrin walked around for three hours. They did experiments and collected samples of moon rocks and dust. After this time the astronauts prepared to rejoin Collins, it was time to go home.
