In July 1969 the American Apollo II landed on the moon with Neil Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins. Neil Armstrong was the first man to step on the moon. He was joined by Edwin Aldrin. They took photographs, collected rock and soil samples and returned to the earth safely.
The moon was the first target of man. Scientists know that there is no air or water on the moon. It is about 30,0000 kms from the earth. This distance can be covered in ten hours if a spaceship moves at a speed of 40,000 kms an hours. The surface of the moon is rough and full of craters, rocks and mountains.
American scientists plan to establish manned colony on the moon as a spring board for exploration of the planets. Man has always been ready to face risks to satisfy his curiosity to gain knowledge about things around him.
