History of National Moon Day
This day is associated with the American astronaut, Neil Armstrong, but he was not alone on that day! He was accompanied by 2 other astronauts, including the American astronaut Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin, to achieve the goal that John F. Kennedy had advocated in the early sixties, which was that America should be able by the end of the sixties to send someone to land on the moon and return him safely.
On the promised day, July 20, 1969, the team landed on the moon as Armstrong climbed onto the surface of the moon, and spoke his famous words: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
