MOON JOURNEY  :  

During the 1960s there was a race between the USA and the former Soviet Union to put a man on the moon. The USA landed the first man on the moon with APOLLO 11 in 1969.

What was Apollo 11 ?  

                                       🌕  Apollo 11 was made up of three modules, or parts: the tiny command module, the service module, and the lunar module.Apollo 11 mission reached the moon because of a huge rocket called SATURN V. Most of SATURN V contained the fuel needed to blast it into space.

                  🌕 Three astronauts sat in a tiny capsule at the top of the rocket. The service module contained the power and life-support systems. The three astronauts worked and slept in the command  module. And the Mission commander Neil Armstrong struggled to find a flat landing site. He succeeded with just seconds to spare.

The Different Stages of Apollo 11 Mission : 

                                                                                           🚀  STAGE 1 :  Five F1 engines blast the SATURN V rocket into space from the Kennedy Space Center.  

                                     🚀  STAGE 2 : The rocket's engines fire to set the craft on a course to the moon. 

                                     🚀  STAGE 3 : The command and service modules separate from the rocket and perform a 180° turn.   

                                     🚀 STAGE 4 :  The command and service modules reattach to the lunar module, which is still connected to the rocket.  

                                     🚀 STAGE 5 :  The rest of the rocket is discarded while the commanded, service, and lunar modules  continue to the moon.  

                                     🚀  STAGE 6 :  The journey has taken 102 hours, 45 minutes. The lunar module is ready to land.  

                                     🚀  STAGE 7 :  The command and service modules orbit the moon ( one astronaut remains on board ) while the lunar module lands. Two astronauts walk on the moon.    

                                     🚀  STAGE 8 :  The lunar module joins the command and service modules so the two lunar astronauts can climb through. The lunar module is then abandoned.   

                                     🚀  STAGE 9 :  The service module is ejected before re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.    

                                     🚀  STAGE 10 :  The command module is the only part of the mission to return to Earth.
