Apollo Landing Rewrite

On July 21, 1969, Apollo II successfully landed on the Moon. It is the first manned space mission to land on a planet! This is so amazing. The space shuttle launched from Kennedy Space Center, carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins into orbit. They are all lucky guys to go to the Moon. On June 20, Armstrong and Aldrin landed their small lunar module in the Sea of Tranquility. Armstrong then made his descent to the Moon's surface and spoke the famous line, "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind." Over 600 million people stared at the television and witnessed the event. Armstrong and Aldrin marked their great achievement by planting an American flag in the soil, which is great decision. American became the first human to step on to the Moon and our flag is also the first flag being planted on the Moon! Before they returned to their shuttle, the astronauts installed a plaque that bore the signatures of each astronaut and President Richard Nixon, along with an inscription. The inscription read, "Here Men From Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We Came in Peace For All Mankind."
