The morning of July 16, 1989. A few kilometers around the Cape Kennedy Space Center in the United States are crowded. The whole area has been crowded with cars, jeeps, buses, boats and even small planes since last night. Many have set up temporary shelters in small tents. Some are under the open sky in the existing tabulate. With cameras, binoculars and radios in their hands, they are anxiously waiting and counting the hours of excitement.

Most of them have come to rejoice. Some carried placards and banners to protest the US government’s huge waste of money in the space sector. But pros and cons, everyone present that day knew they were going to witness a great history of mankind today. This is a history that will not be old even if it can be said for ages.

After a while, the Apollo 11 spacecraft with three adventurous astronauts will run to the moon about 374,000 kilometers away. Not only that, for the first time in human history, people will set foot outside the earth, in the land of the old woman with the spinning moon. Yes, not instruments, but aquatic people. With this, the United States will give a broken answer to the eternal rival Soviet Union in the space competition on that day. So the whole American nation (or mankind) went to the moon with three astronauts — Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins — on the wings of imagination.
