    Neil was born on the 5th August 1930.
    On 16th July 1969, the Apollo 11 mission began.
    On 20th July 1969, Neil was the first person on the moon.
    On September 1962, Neil was accepted into the NASA astronaut corp.
    2 things that helped Neil fly in difficult situations is being and resilient.
    Silver
    Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Micheal Collins went altogether in a rocket.
    “Tranquility base here. The moon has landed.”, is a phrase that Neil said that means the Eagle didn’t land automatically.
    They were unsure because the temperatures could’ve gone up to 100 degrees.
    I think 600 million people watched it because it was an important event for everyone.
    I think the most dangerous part was when they were landing because the Eagle was running low on fuel.

    4.The people who took part with him in the Apollo 11 mission were Edwin, Buzz Aldrin amnd Michael Collins
    5.The word which tells me that the Eagle hadn’t landed automatically that it says in the text is unsafe landing area.
    6.Because since it was the first time on the moon they don’t know how long it can stay for.
    7.Because everyone wanted to see the apollo 11 going and wanted to see if they were going to fail or pass.
    8.When in space because the system ha manfactured so they can crash into anything and then die.
