Footprints on the moon
Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was a god. Other people
thought it was a light in the sky. And others thought it was a big ball of cheese!
Then telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was really
another world. They wondered what it was like. they dreamed of going there. On
July 20, 1969, that dream came true. Two American men landed on the moon.
Their names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men
found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the men
left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living thing had
ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years. There is
no wind or rain to wipe them off. The two men walked on the moon for hours.
They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study. They dug up dirt to bring
back and they set up machines to find
out things people wanted to know. Then they climbed back into their moon
landing craft.
