  Liftoff, in 1969, three Americans, Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins,
• 0:39
  climbed into this spaceship to prepare for their flight to the moon.
• 0:45
  Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins were in the command module of the spaceship.
• 0:51
  When all was ready, the huge rocket below the spaceship fled. They were off.
• 0:59
  A tricky landing. When they were within reach, Collins stayed in the command
• 1:07
  module and orbited the moon.
• 1:11
  While Armstrong and Aldrin took off for the moon in the Lunar Model, a small landing craft.
• 1:21
  As they got close, the pair noticed instead of heading for the flat part of
• 1:31
  the moon, they were heading for a huge box.
• 1:34
  It was very tricky. But they steered around the rocks and landed safely with
• 1:39
  about thirty seconds of fuel left, going outside.
• 1:44
  The pair continued their final checks and prepared their equipment inside the lunar module.
• 1:53
  Then they climbed down the stairs and stood on the moon.
• 1:58
  Six hundred million people saw the moon landing on TV.

  Armstrong went first, followed by Aldrin.

  Aldrin was careful not to close the door completely behind him.

  He was scared that if he did, they wouldn't get back in. Come, the moon.

  A tricky return. Once they were back in the lunar module, Aldrin noticed the
• 2:58
  switch from the flight desk was broken.
• 3:01
  They had to repair it without it. They couldn't get off the moon.
• 3:06
  I mean, finally, Aldrin flipped the switch using a felt it.
• 3:11
