    Silver
    Michael collins, buzz aldrin and Neil were all who went with neil.
    The eagle took longer than they expected.
    They were ensure because of the high tempature.
    600 million people watched because if they landed on moon they would beat ussr.
    The dangerous part was when they had low fuel and they could of dropped all the way down.

    Because the eagle didn’t land because of the the ignition switch was broken” so they used a part of pen to fix it the NASA was unsure because they have never been in space.
    They did because They thought that they would win the space race.
    To land because the had to do it themselves.

    First men on moon!
    Earlier this morning (20th July 1969), Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins landed on the moon after launching from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida on the 16th of July. As some people know, there was a competition between the Soviet Union and the USA. The objective was who could put man on the moon first. The USA had now won the competition and all the Americans are now celebrating their victory.

    Neil Armstrong was born at the 5th August 1930.

    Neil Armstrong was accepted to the NASA Astronaut Corps

    On the 16th July Apollo 11 mission began.
    At 20th July 1969 Neil Armstrong was the first person to land on the moon

    He knew that something wrong was happening so he had to Manual it and another reason was that he had other people to help him fly.
    Silver
    The three people who took part in Apollo 11 was Edwin , Aldrin and Michael Collin

    The phrase that tells the Eagle wouldn’t land Automatically was being on low fuel.
    They were unsure how long their suites would last because of the high temperature .

    I think 600 million people watched this on television because of that they wanted to see the moon landing and see USA win the space race competition.

    In my opinion the most dangerous part of the mission was when they had low fuel because what if they did not be able to make it back to Earth.

    The First Moon Landing?
    By Sania
    Good morning today we have a new interesting news USA has started Apollo 11 to win the space race . Right now three of NASA astronaut is out in the space . The people in the rocket are Neil Armstrong , Aldrin, Edwin Buzz and Michael Collins. They are out in space because they want to win the space race .
    They have been on the rocket for about 1 hour right now . They are facing some struggles but let’s see later .
    Apollo 11 is USA 11th time trying to do the moon landing but each time they were unsuccessful
    The people right now at space are flying really good but NASA is worried about the suits because when they get out it will be 100% or over .
    Here is some quotes by people watching .
    ” Gosh I really hope Apollo 11 works out good ”
    Someone else said this is the 11th time trying if this doesn’t work we might loose .
    Here is a quote by a journalist .
    The suits might explode but i hope not this is going to be such a remarkable achievement for the whole world of we make it .
    Well that’s it for now come back in a bit to see if they made it or not .
    Will they make it or will it all be fail .

    Neil Armstrong was born on 5th August 1930.
    16 th July 1969 The Apollo 11 mission began .
    20th September 1969 Neil Armstrong was the fist ever person to step on the moon . September 1962 Neil was accepted by the NASA Astronaut Crops.
    He remained calm in stressful situations and was a resilience .

    Silver
    His crew mate was (Buzz , Aldrin and Michael Collins that joined him on the Apollo 11 mission.The eagle did not land automatically because the astronauts noticed that the ignition switch was broken so they used the part of a pen to fix it . They were unsure because they wanted Neil Armstrong to be the fist ever person to step foot on the moon . Because 600 million people wanted to see him step foot on the moon . I think the part of going to the moon because if it was not charged probably they will all fall but yeah the made it .

  13. Haroon K.

    BRONZE:

    Neil Armstrong was born on the 5th of august 1930.

    September 1962 = Neil Armstrong was accepted in the NASA astronaut corps.
    16th July = the Apollo 11 mission began.
    20th July = Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon.

    Two things that hoped Neil was to keep calm under the stress and to keep going no matter how risky it is to be heading on a dangerous path.

    SILVER:

    Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins were involved with the Apollo 11 mission.
    One phrase that shows that the eagle didn’t land automatically is he took manual control.
    NASA were unsure about the space suits because they haven’t been to the moon before this so they didn’t know what it was like for sure.
    600 million people watched it because something looks that never happened before and it was exciting food everyone.
    The part of the mission that was the most dangerous was when Neil had to take control of the Apollo 11 it must have been scary being in control.

    Nasa was unsure because nasa was never on the moon and Neil Armstrong was the first on it.
    Around 600million watched it because it was one of the first rockets to launch and first person on the moon.
    It was when their ignition switch was broken and if it wasn’t fixed something could have whent wrong and the traveling because they didn’t have much food

      1.Michael Collins
      Buzz Aldrin were the people that accompanied Niel on his trip.
      2.”Tranquillity base here. The eagle has landed.”is evidence that the eagle did not land automatically .
      3.NASA were unsure about the spacesuits not copeing because they were on the Moon for two and half hours and it was 100°C on the Moon.
      4. I think 600 million people watched the TV because they were wondering whether the Eagle was going to land.
      5 .I think the most dangerous part was the landing because if the Eagle didn’t land they would have been flying in space until they were dead.
