So you might be wondering... Where the hell is today's post? No we didn't forget, it was just a break today. Don't tell me you weren't tired after all these questions!
Also we have an announcement to make! We are working on something... So keep tuned in! 


And we just can't leave without any trivia right? So below's a story that transformed the history of mankind. 

One Giant Leap For Mankind

On July 20, 1969, humans walked on another world for the first time in history. 
The United States' Apollo 11 was the first crewed mission to land on the Moon, on 20 July 1969. There were six crewed U.S. landings between 1969 and 1972, and numerous uncrewed landings, with no soft landings happening between 22 August 1976 and 14 December 2013.

NASA had reported the Moon landing as being "The single greatest technological achievement of all time." Six hours after Apollo 11 landed, Commander Neil Armstrong became the first person to step onto the lunar surface on July 21 at 02:56 AM. When Armstrong first stepped onto the lunar surface, it was broadcast on live TV worldwide, and he described the event as being "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". 

Armstrong was followed by lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin 19 minutes later, and they both spent about two and a quarter hours outside the spacecraft, collecting 21.5 kg of lunar material to bring back to Earth. The other person linked to the important mission was Command module pilot Michael Collins, who flew the Command Module Columbia alone in lunar orbit as he waited for the other two.

Armstrong and Aldrin spent over 21 hours on the lunar surface at a site they named Tranquility Base before they lifted off to rejoin Collins in the command module Columbia. The trio returned to Earth and landed in the Pacific Ocean on July 24 after more than eight days in space.

Events like this just enhance human imaginations. There were numerous space endeavours later on and surely we are yet to see much adventures in future. It just goes on to prove that we can achieve anything in the world. What we require is persistence and hard work. So have faith and carry on!
