DEAN:
ON JULY 20, 1969,
NEIL ARMSTRONG AND BUZZ ALDRIN LANDED ON THE
SURFACE OF THE MOON.
JAMES:
LET’S LOOK BACK
50 YEARS AND GO WHERE
NO ONE HAD GONE BEFORE.
DEAN:
ON JULY 16, 1969 THE MASSIVE SATURN FIVE ROCKET
BLASTED
NEIL ARMSTRONG,
BUZZ ALDRIN, AND MICHAEL COLLINS TO
THE MOON.
JAMES:
AFTER THREE DAYS THEY REACHED LUNAR ORBIT
AND GOT CLOSE-UP VIEWS OF THE SURFACE.
BUZZ ALDRIN CALLED IT “MAGNIFICENT DESOLATION”.
DEAN:
AND IN THE DISTANCE, THERE WAS THE GOOD EARTH.
DEAN:
ON JULY 20, 1969 NEIL ARMSTRONG GUIDED THE
LANDER SAFELY DOWN ONTO THE SEA OF TRANQUILITY,
WHERE HE DECLARED, “THE EAGLE HAS LANDED”
JAMES:
THAT NIGHT NEIL AND BUZZ TOOK THEIR FIRST
STEPS ON THE LUNAR SURFACE.
NEIL ARMSTRONG’S WORDS, “THAT’S ONE
SMALL STEP FOR A MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND”
IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS MOMENTS IN AMERICAN
HISTORY.
BOTH: KEEP LOOKING UP!
