On July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon, marking a historic achievement in space exploration. Why did the United States race to reach the moon, and how did NASA prepare for such a daring mission? What happened during the Apollo 11 flight, and how did people around the world react to the first steps on the lunar surface? Supporting state and national social studies standards for grades 3-5, this book provides a clear, straightforward overview of the first moon landing--an essential topic for any student of U.S. history.
