Let us read the story about “A Big
Leap.” Answer the questions after.
Thousands of years ago, it was not
possible for people to go from one far place
to another. Big bodies of water prevented
them from doing so. It became possible
only when boats and then ships were
constructed and when airplanes were
invented. Today, one can travel not only
from one country to another, but to space,
outside the earth! Who would have thought
then that this time would come?
More than forty years ago, there were
three men who were the first to land
on the moon. This was in July, 1969.
The mission to go to the moon
was assigned to three astronauts,
namely, Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz"
Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Astronauts
are people who travel to space using a
vehicle called a spacecraft. The man
who first stepped on the moon was
Neil Armstrong.
He took pictures and rock samples.
Buzz Aldrin followed him soon
after. They jumped and planted
the flag of the United States of
America on the moon! Michael
Collins did not go down from the
spacecraft. Instead, he stayed
there and orbited the moon.
This great event was seen on
television all over the world. This was
made possible because of a camera
placed in their spacecraft. When
Armstrong stepped down on the moon,
he said, "That's one small step for
man, one giant leap for mankind." He
was right. Who would have thought
before that people from the earth
would be able to reach the moon? I
was really a big leap for us, a giant
leap indeed.
