One small step, a giant leap

On 20th July 1969, Man landed on the Moon. It was a historic moment. In the 40th anniversary year of that glorious moment, one recollects the words of the astronaut Neil ArmstrongNeil Armstrong – ‘It’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind’. It was the American Apollo-11 that has made a successful landing on the moon’s surface – and was an improvement upon the feat of the Russian Astronaut Yuri GagarinYuri Gagarin of 1961 when he became the first man in Space. The three astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz AldrinBuzz Aldrin and Mike Collins had left the world together but only Neil and Buzz descended on the Moon. Before leaving, they planted the American flag on the soil and left a plaque – ‘we came in peace.’
