On July 20, 1969, a historic event took place, becoming a major turning point for the space exploration industry and human science. At 20:18 UTC, Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon, he wrote his name and the United States in human history.
The photo Neil Armstrong stands on the moon with the American flag is still one of the most famous images in history, partly because the number of people who set foot there is so small and rare.
Both astronauts spent more than 20 hours on the moon, after three days of starting space travel and a long time to prepare, plan and practice. 5 decades have passed, the landing is still an achievement, a concept that brings emotions to many people.
And this year on July 20, 2019, mark 50 years from that historic moment. The story of Apollo 11's journey may have been familiar, but it was told through images, bringing new and easier visualizations.

Moon
Astronauts have taken many pictures of the moon's surface in orbit, serving to study the moon's geology, as well as building the moon map and surveying geodes. At the same time, this will be a help document for later moon trips.
