    Apollo 11 launch!
    The Apollo 11 mission was a success and put the first human on the moon. gNeil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon at exactly 02:56 UTC on July 21st, 1969. Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy on July 16, 1969. *FUN FACTS!* In November 1957, Laika became the first animal launched into Earth orbit, paving the way for human spaceflight during the upcoming years. This photograph shows her in a flight harness. And did you know that Neil Armstrong word was “after returning from space, Armstrong said that wasn’t what he had planned to say. He said there was a lost word in his famous one-liner from the moon: “That’s one small step for a man.” It’s just that people just didn’t hear it.” that was in the 13 Jul 2019. Stay safe.
