國家月球日 The National Moon Day
Aug 02. 2022
Have you ever found Neil Armstrong’s moon landing story fascinating? Or have you ever wondered who also landed the moon with Armstrong in 1969? If so, let’s continue the legendary story of men’s first moon landing!
The mission to put humans in space began in 1961 during former U.S. President John F. Kennedy’s time in office. President Kennedy was committed to landing a man on the moon within the next 10 years. On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 successfully launched from Cape Kennedy (also known as Cape Canaveral) and carried three astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin to the moon. Armstrong was the commander, Collins was the command module pilot, and Aldrin was the lunar module pilot.

Four days later, Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon, gathered materials on the moon and took photos of the moon’s surface, while Collin stayed in orbit around the moon. When Armstrong stepped on the moon’s surface, he spoke his famous words: “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” On July 24, 1969, all three astronauts safely returned to earth.
In 1971, former U.S. President Richard Nixon announced National Moon Day on July 20 to honor the date of men’s first moon landing on July 20, 1969.
One way to celebrate this important event in the history of mankind is to watch movies that have been created about landing on the moon. For example, In the Shadow of the Moon and Apollo 11 are both great historical and documentary films to understand National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) 1969 Apollo 11 mission.
In conclusion, the moon landing story inspires and teaches us invaluable lessons that we can all take to improve our lives. First, every step contributes to the leap. While people often focus on and remember Armstrong’s legacy, we should also draw our attention to all the people who made this mission possible, such as the engineers, controllers, programmers, researchers, etc. Each person has a part to play in a team, and we must trust that our work contributes to the whole even if it seems small or unimportant.
Second, collaboration makes a big goal achievable. Every person in this moon landing mission is like a small piece of a puzzle. It is important that they all play their role and work together to successfully land on the moon and establish a lasting legacy in the history of mankind.
Hope you enjoy our story of National Moon Landing. Thank you for reading and tuning in AEET storytelling! We will see you next time!
你有曾經被尼爾·阿姆斯壯的登月故事深深吸引著嗎？或者你有沒有想過誰也在 1969 年時和阿姆斯壯壯一起登上了月球？如果是這樣，讓我們繼續人類第一次登月的傳奇故事吧！
將人類送入太空的任務始於 1961 年美國前總統肯尼迪執政期間。肯尼迪總統承諾將在未來 10 年內讓人類登上月球。 1969 年 7 月 16 日，阿波羅 11 號從甘迺迪角（也稱為卡納維拉爾角）成功發射，並將三位太空人尼爾·阿姆斯壯、麥可·柯林斯、和伯茲·艾德林帶到了月球。阿姆斯特朗是指揮官，柯林斯是指揮艙飛行員，奧爾德林是登月艙飛行員。
(從左起為阿姆斯壯、柯林斯與艾德林)
四天後，阿姆斯壯和艾德林登上月球，並在月球上收集物質和拍攝月球表面照片，而柯林斯則留在繞月球的軌道上。當阿姆斯壯踏上月球表面時，他說出了他的名言：「這是一個人的一小步，卻是人類的一大步。」1969 年 7 月 24 日，三名宇航員全部安全返回地球。
1971 年，美國前總統理查·尼克森宣布7 月 20 日為人類月球日，以紀念1969 年 7 月20 日人類首次登月的日期。
慶祝人類歷史上這件重要事件的一種方式是觀看有關登陸月球的電影。例如，《月球的陰影》和《阿波羅 11號》 都是偉大的歷史和紀錄片來了解美國國家航空航天局 (NASA) 1969 年的阿波羅 11 號任務。
總之，這個登月故事啟發並教導了我們寶貴的課程，而我們都可以通過這些課程來提升我們的生活。首先，每一步都有助於飛躍。雖然人們經常關注並記住阿姆斯壯的傳奇，但我們也應該關注所有使這項任務成為可能的人，例如工程師、控制員、程序員、研究人員等。每個人都可以在團隊中發揮作用。我們必須相信我們的工作對整體有所貢獻，即使它看起來很小或不重要。
再者，合作可以實現一個大目標。在這次登月任務中，每個人都像是拼圖中的一小塊。重要的是，他們都發揮自己的作用，一起共同努力，成功地登陸月球，在人類歷史上留下不朽的傳奇。
希望您喜歡我們的人類月球日的故事。感謝您閱讀和關注 AEET 說故事！我們下次再見！
