This year it’s 50 years since Neil Armstrong, during
the mission Apollo 11, became the first man to walk on the moon. In honor of
the 50th anniversary I decided to list a few pieces of information
you might not know about one of the biggest achievement of Mankind.
1.
Nasa had no idea how to go to the moon
When the president of the USA, John Fitzgerald
Kennedy, announced to the world that America would send the first man to the
moon by the end of the 60s, Nasa, the American space administration, had no
idea how to send a man to the moon. It was something that had never happened
before so they weren’t ready at all. Moreover, the training of the astronauts
hadn’t started yet and the American engineers didn’t even have the right
rocket. After the moon landing an engineer that worked on the mission Apollo 11
proudly said: ”We did the impossible”.
