Today marks the 47th anniversary of the first man landing on the moon. On June 20, 1969, at 10:56 P.M. EDT Neil Armstrong set his foot on the moon. Buzz Aldrin joined him and they placed an American flag on the moon that honored the fallen Apollo 1 crew. There was also a plaque that read "here men from the planet Earth first set foot on the moon. July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind."President John F. Kennedy's goal was to put a man on the moon before the end of the decade and he was able to accomplish his objective.
Today is an important day in history. A man landing on the moon was a major step for space exploration.
As Armstrong said "that's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
