Mr.Espinoza ♔♔♔ Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 It is 50 years since man stepped on the moon. Armstrong was the first human to step on the surface of the satellite on July 21, 1969 at 2:56 (UTC) south of the Sea of Tranquility. When touching the surface Armstrong pronounced one of the most well-known phrases of our time: "A small step for a man, a great jump for the Humanity". This July 20 marks 50 years since the human being reached the moon, specifically the astronaut of the Apollo XI mission Neil Armstrong, followed by Edwin Aldrin, aboard the Eagle lander. The mission was sent to space on July 16, reached the surface of the Moon on July 20, 1969 at 17.39 UTC hours and the next day managed to Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the lunar surface. Apollo 11 was powered by a Saturn V rocket from the Cape Kennedy complex in Florida. The mission is considered one of the most significant moments in the history of Humanity and Technology, according to NASA. The crew of Apollo 11 was completed with Michael Collins, who was orbiting the Moon aboard the Columbia command module, which the landing module reattached after leaving the lunar surface with numerous samples and return to Earth. Armstrong was the first human to step on the surface of the satellite on July 20, 1969 at 2:56 (UTC) south of the Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis). When touching the surface Armstrong pronounced one of the most well-known phrases of our time: "A small step for a man, a great jump for the Humanity". In addition to astronaut, Neil Armstrong was also an aerospace engineer, military pilot, test pilot and university professor. He made his first space flight in 1966 as pilot-in-command of Gemini 8. In December 1968 he was offered command of the Apollo XI mission. Months before the mission, it was decided that Armstrong would be the first to descend by the design of the lunar module: the hatch opened inwards on the right side and this made it difficult for the pilot of the module, Aldrin, to leave first. On July 24, the three astronauts achieved a perfect splashdown in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, putting an end to the most transcendental space mission to this day So the three astronauts came to the moon Inside the module they were standing, clamped with Armstorng and Aldring belts, Michael Collins was waiting for them in the capsule that would bring them back to earth. They were inside for six hours before the ladder was deployed that allowed Neil Armstrong that famous footstep. The man had crossed the last border. Fifty years have passed and we have not put our foot further. The command capsule and the lunar module, the Eagle, are separated 100 kilometers from the Moon. Collins stays orbiting the satellite and Amstrong and Aldrin head towards the surface. They pass from the planned landing area and the control of Houston is considered to abort the mission. The computer starts to fail and they hardly have fuel. Amstrong decides to pass a manual pilot and slides the 'Eagle' over some rocks. After a few eternal minutes, success comes. "Houston, here base Tranquility, the eagle is on the moon." Nasa technicians breathe finally, "thank you ... we had red people here ...." The module was in the so-called Sea of Tranquility, and Amstrong and Aldrin are ordered to rest several hours. After activating the cameras of the module, Amstrong prepares to tread the Moon. After communicating that the ground is barely sinking and that it is like dust, he jumps without fear and utters the historical phrase: "A small step for a man a great leap for humanity", said Amstrong. Twenty minutes later Aldrin follows, who is amazed: "What a magnificent desolation." First they plant their flag and leave a message of earthly peace in case there is extraterrestrial life. Hundreds of millions of people follow them on television around the world. For two hours, the astronauts collect samples and carry out several experiments. Then they return to the 'Eagle' and leave the satellite. Three and a half hours later the three new heroes are back together and start back home.
