SPACE: went to the moon

 WENT to the moon:

    In 1961, President John F.Kennedy announced that the United States of America would send a man to the Moon before the end of the decade. In July 20, 1969, the promise came true. More than 500 million viewers watched with amazement on television as Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon for the first time. From 1969 to 1972, Apollo 11 and five successive missions sent 12 men to the Moon. The only trip cancelled was that of Apollo 13 because of a dramatic explosion that could have been fatal.

Lunar module!

    "The Eagle has aluni" the astronauts exclaimed when the lunar module ( ML ) touched the ground for the first time. After 3 days on the Moon, the Eagle brought Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong back to the Command Module in Orbit ( MC ). The Lunar Module served as a dwelling for astronauts; its landing feet were left on the spot during take-off.

Jump on the moon!

    Living in an environment with such a low gravitational force is a strange experience. On Earth, an astronaut with his space equipment weighs about 135 kg, while on the Moon, he weighs only 23 kg. In this image, Jhon Young salutes the American flag by making great leaps without any effort. In addition, the flag had to be held with a wand, as no wind allowed it to float.

Survive in space:

    Every time astronauts leave the safety of their spacecraft, they must wear the spacesuits that protect them from radiation and allow them to breathe. On the Moon, an astronaut wears underwear made up of a network of tubes in which cold water circulates to maintain normal body temperature. This combination is also equipped with a urine collector that empties from a hole under a flap on the right leg. 

>>>It takes 45 minutes to put on this suit with an outside aid.

Lunar Missions:

    The astronauts hoped that Apollo’s missions would solve much of the Moon’s mysteries. In this photo taken during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, the team’s scientist studies a huge boulder that rolled down the side of a mountain. Instruments have been installed to measure the earthquakes of the Moon and to learn more about the interior of the Moon. After six missions, the astronauts brought back 388 kg of rocks and soil to be analyzed. Once on Earth, these pieces were studied by experts to reconstruct the history of the satellite.
