Video Of The Week - Apollo 17 Astronauts Frolic On The Moon!

           One of the biggest events in the history was when NASA landed a spacecraft on the moon for the first time!  As everyone knows, the spacecraft was named Apollo 11 and it was landed on June 20, 1969. The three astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins were the first one to fly there and were very excited because it is really cool and awesome to factually land and step on the moon! the real Moon. Everyone would be excited if we was about to lad on the moon, so they were and  Neil Armstrong for to show his excitement or to stay in history, he said “This is one small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind” according to the Article. But on December 7, 1972 another spacecraft landed on the moon with two astronauts as a crew named Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan. Those two men did something really funny and something that only kids would do (but they were really excited); they were jumping up and down singing a son named ‘I was strolling on the moon one day”. !!

          I chose this article because landing on the Moon was one of the most important events that happened in history and none would expect the second landing like that. But if I were on the Moon I would also be very excited and do something silly. This video is interesting and I think it could attract anyone’s interest and since we are on the astronomy unit and we are doing about the phases of the moon I found it suitable for my current event.
