Information about the moon

• THE MOON IS EARTH'S ONLY NATURAL SATELLITE. AT

ABOUT ONE-QUARTER THE DIAMETER OF EARTH .IT IS
THE LARGEST NATURAL SATELLITE IN THE SOLAR
SYSTEM RELATIVE TO THE SIZE OF ITS PLANET,[F] THE
FIFTH LARGEST SATELLITE IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
OVERALL, AND IS LARGER THAN ANY DWARF PLANET.
ORBITING EARTH AT AN AVERAGE DISTANCE OF 384,400
KM (238,900 MI),[16] OR ABOUT 30 TIMES EARTH'S
DIAMETER, ITS GRAVITATIONAL INFLUENCE SLIGHTLY
LENGTHENS EARTH'S DAY AND IS THE MAIN DRIVER
OF EARTH'S TIDES. THE MOON IS CLASSIFIED AS A
PLANETARY-MASS OBJECT AND A DIFFERENTIATED
ROCKY BODY, AND LACKS ANY SIGNIFICANT
ATMOSPHERE, HYDROSPHERE, OR MAGNETIC FIELD.
ITS SURFACE GRAVITY IS ABOUT ONE-SIXTH OF
EARTH'S (0.1654 G); JUPITER'S MOON IO IS THE ONLY
SATELLITE IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM KNOWN TO HAVE A
HIGHER SURFACE GRAVITY AND DENSITY.
 PROJECT LANDING ON MOON
A Moon landing is the arrival of a spacecraft on the surface of the Moon. This includes both crewed and robotic
missions. The first human-made object to touch the Moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 2, on 13 September 1959.
[3]

The United States' Apollo 11 was the first crewed mission to land on the Moon, on 20 July 1969.The first person to
land on the moon was Neil Armstrong a famous astronaut who took the first step on the moon.

Armstrong joined the NASA Astronaut Corps in the second group, which was selected in 1962. He made his first
spaceflight as command pilot of Gemini 8 in March 1966, becoming NASA's first civilian astronaut to fly in space.
During this mission with pilot David Scott, he performed the first docking of two spacecraft; the mission was
aborted after Armstrong used some of his re-entry control fuel to stabilize a dangerous roll caused by a stuck
thruster. During training for Armstrong's second and last spaceflight as commander of Apollo 11, he had to eject
from the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle moments before a crash
IF I WAS SENT AS THE FIRST PERSON TO LAND ON
THE MOON

IF I WAS SENT TO MOON AND I WAS IF THE FIRST I WOULD FEEL PROUD AND ACCOMPLISHED THAT I WAS THE
FIRST AND NO ONE WAS BEFORE ME.
IT IS A BIG DEAL TO GO THAT FAR AWAY SO I WOULD BE SCARED A BIT JUST IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND I
DON’T MAKE IT BACK . BUT THEN I WOULD JUST LET GO OF THE HEAVY WEIGHT AND LISTEN TO THE COUNT TO
START 5..4..3..2..1.. TAKE OFF, AS I FEEL THE HEAT OF THE ROCKETS IGNITE AND SEEING GOING UP SO FAST AS A
BLINK OF EYE I SEE A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE OF NOTHING I EVER IMAGINED AS I SEE I AM MOVING FAR
AWAY FROM EARTH AND SEE A GIANT MOON WHICH USED TO BE MY TRAVEL BUDDY WITH MY NIGHT ROAD
TRIPS , FROM A CLOSE POINT OF VIEW IT WAS MORE BEAUTIFUL THEN I EVER IMAGINED , MY HEART SKIPPED A
BEAT AS I WORE MY HELMET AND OPENED THE DOOR TO A DIFFERENT WORLD I WAS SCARED, SHOCKED
,AMAZED ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
FAST FORWARD TO AFTER ALL THE TEST AND SAMPLES COLLECTED AND WAS TIME TO RETURN I WAS SAD ,
THAT I MIGHT NEVER SEE THIS PLACE, I NEVER MIGHT GET TO EXPERIENCE THIS AGAIN BUT AT THE END OF THE
DAY I GOT TO EXPERIENCE AT LEAST ONCE BUT I STILL MOURN TO SEE IT AGAIN.
