HISTORIC STEPS: Astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the surface of the Moon 54 years ago. "It's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." https://cbsn.ws/3pUHTS4 | CBS News

Astronauts walked on the surface of the Moon during NASA’s Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972. They collected rock and soil samples, set up scientific instruments, and studied the Moon’s surface in low gravity. Because the Moon has no atmosphere, astronauts wore special suits to protect them from extreme temperatures and radiation. These missions helped scientists learn how the Moon formed and how Earth evolved. One of the greatest achievements in human space exploration. 🌕🚀✨ #space #spacex

This shows Apollo mission astronauts on the Moon surface. 🌕 Between 1969 and 1972, NASA sent astronauts to explore the Moon for the first time in history. Astronauts walked in low gravity, collected rock and soil samples, and set up scientific experiments. The Moon has no atmosphere, extreme temperatures, and one-sixth of Earth’s gravity, making every task challenging. The Apollo missions proved that humans can safely explore another world using science and technology. #space #spacex #nasa | Ni
