Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. 
It was July 20, 1969 when hundreds of millions of people watched on television as Apollo 11 astronaut, Neil Armstrong, walked on the surface of the moon for the first time. "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," Armstrong said. Those words remain famous to this day. The historic trip was not easy. In the 1960s, space travel was very dangerous. Armstrong said later, "There were just a thousand things to worry about."
Although Armstrong was the first astronaut to step on the surface of the moon, astronauts Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins, whom many people credit for the successful mission, were also aboard Apollo 11.
After the successful landing, Aldrin and Armstrong planted the U.S. flag on the moon's soil. They collected rocks and left a plaque that read "Here Men From Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon The Moon. July 1969 A.D. We Came In Peace For All Mankind."
Although the astronauts were successful in reaching the moon, another obstacle was returning to earth safely. After successfully leaving the moon, the crew landed about 812 nautical miles off the coast of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean. They were met by members of the U.S. Navy to bring them safely to shore.
Armstrong called their mission the "beginning of a new age." Although there were flights to the moon after Apollo 11's journey, the last trip to the moon was in 1972. We hope there will be many more moon visits to come.
