The Saturn V rocket is taken to the launch pad.
The building next to the rocket was the largest
building in the world in 1969.
Lift-off of one of the Saturn V rockets carrying
astronauts to the moon.

The first three astronauts to go to the moon
were (l-r) Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and
Edwin Aldrin. Neil Armstrong was the first man to
walk on the moon and Edwin Adlrin was the second.
Michael Collins stayed in the small rocket that
orbited the moon to take everyone back to earth.

An astronaut takes a soil sample that will be
studied on the earth. The space suit keeps the
astronaut alive by providing air and keeping him
safe from very hot temperatures.
An astronaut salutes the American flag, The lunar
module and the lunar rover are to the right of
the flag.

The space suit astronauts wore on the moon kept
them safe. On the earth the suit was very heavy,
but on the moon, it didnt weigh as much. Do you
know why?
An astronaut practices with his space suit. Each
part, the gloves, the boots, the helmet, the top
and the bottom sections of the suit must be air
tight.

The lunar module is what the astronauts used to
land on the moon. It is where they lived for the
small amount of time they stayed on the moon.
When the earth shakes, we call it an earthquake.
This astronaut is doing an experiment to see if
the moon shakes. It would be called a moonquake.

The lunar rover was the electric car that allowed
astronauts to drive slightly farther than they
could walk. Three different cars were taken to
the moon.
Six rockets with astronauts landed on the moon.
Each group of astronauts placed an American flag
in the ground to mark their landing spot.

Astronauts explored many areas of the moon,
collected rocks and soil to study when they
returned to the earth.
Wherever astronauts went on the moon, the sky was
always black. Do you know why the moon never has
a blue sky?

On the earth we talk about the sun rising and the
moon rising. On the moon, the earth rises!
If you made a footprint on the earth, it would
soon be gone. On the moon footprints will last
forever. Why do you think this is so?

When the astronauts returned to earth, their
space capsules always landed in the ocean.
Fortunately for them the capsules floated!
