• 1. Finally, a little over eight years since President Kennedy’s historic speech, Apollo 11 and crew lifted off for the moon. The date was July 16, 1969. Millions of people around the world followed its flight.

• On board were Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins, and Buzz Aldrin. They would soon make history.

• compare how difficult each of the space and moon missions are

• describe how astronauts are trained and sent to space in rockets and other spacecrafts

• tell the sequence of a series of important events in America's space program

• highlight the positive effects of sending astronauts to the space and moon
