Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is
covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked.
Those were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the moon. And they could
stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them off. The two men
walked on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study.
They dug up dirt to bring back and they set up machines to find
out things people wanted to know. Then they climbed back into their moon landing
craft.
Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They
joined Micheal Collins in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon. Then
they were off on their long trip back to earth. Behind them they left the plains , the tall
mountains of the moon and they left the machines they had set up. Above all, they left
their footprints that may last forever.
- footprint : dấu chân
