For thousands of years,
human beings had looked to the heavens and dreamed of walking on the moon. In
1969, as part of the Apollo 11 mission, Neil Armstrong became the first person
to accomplish that dream, followed only minutes later by Buzz Aldrin. Their
accomplishment gave people around the world the hope of future space exploration.
In fact, it was a feat that was so fantastic that there are still conspiracy
theorists who insist it could not be possible. Putting a man on the moon is
perhaps mans most inspiring accomplishment; it opened the door to future space
travel and led to a number of spin-off inventions including flame resistant
textiles used by firefighters, invisible braces, improved satellite dishes, and
better medical imaging.
