Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was good. Other people thought it was just a light in the sky. And some thought it was a big ball of cheese!

      The telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was really anther world. They wondered what it was like.They dreamed of going there. On July 20^th 1969, that dream came true.Two American men landed on the moon. Their names were Nei Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walk. Those were the first marks  living thing had ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them off.

The two men waliked on the moon for two hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth to study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know.Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft.

Neil Armstrong started flying at an early age. He became interested in airplanes at the age of 2. At 15, he took flying lessons. He got a license to fly at 16. He learned how to fly before he learned how to drive a car. At university, he studied aeronautical engineering. This is the study of designing and making aircraft.

After Armstrong became an astronaut in 1962, he was trained for 4 years for the Apollo program. The Apollo mission was to put a man on the moon in ten years. On July 16, 1969, the Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Because Armstrong was the leader, he became the first man to step on the moon. He said, "This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." He and his fellow astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, walked on the moon for two and a half hours. They collected rocks and did some experiments.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The Apollo mission to the moon 

B. Why Neil Armstrong became an astronaut 

C. Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon 

D. The aeronautic education of Neil Armstrong
