Five, four, three, two, one, take off! Slowly, and with a great roar like an animal, the huge Apollo 11 spacecraft went up off the ground.
All the people nearby cheered and shouted as they watched the flames and smoke coming out of the bottom of the rocket. Apollo 11 was on its way at last on its dangerous journey to the moon.
This is a historic moment. In 1961, president kennedy made a promise to the people of America that An American will be on the moon before the end of 1960s. Now, it was the summer of 1969 and Apollo 11 was the last chance to keep the promise. Were these astronauts going to make history?
Outside the spacecraft, many people and journalists were watching and cheering. The photographers were taking pictures for the next day's newspapers. Inside the spacecraft, commander Neil Armstrong and the other two astronauts could feel their hearts go faster. They all knew that the mission was dangerous. They new that they had a fifty-fifty chance of getting to the moon and coming back alive.
It was a dangerous Journey, but the astronauts had been trained for this moment. They knew exactly what they had to do. This was a work not a holiday trip. These astronauts went up but weren't able to come back. Will you try this? and can you do it?, It is very very dangerous, but now many astronauts have been able to go and come back because of the improvement in technology. That's so wonderful going out from the world?!!. Thank you so much for reading. These astronauts went up but weren't able to come back.
