The World Beyond

It was 10:56 pm, July 20, 1969 and the Lunar Module was slightly opening to the sound of space and oxygen smashing, colliding into one another, “zzwwwwsshhhh.”(Neil Armstrong Biography) The glazing, glooming moon surface was ready to be landed on, ready to be “historicized.” Buzz was non-stop jabbering and blabbering with his mouth showing excitement as if he was a little kid who sees a big lollipop. As we were just inches away from making the biggest step in history, my eyes were as big as the sun looking out through the window from our tiny and cramped space shuttle, the Apollo 11. Just in when we were being saturated into the moon’s dusty atmosphere, I stared into the twinkling stars in the black depth of time and energy, the only thing that made it pretty were those gleaming sparkles of dust.

In the act of walking down towards the moon’s surface, when my substantial boots that held my space suit altogether would once step on that dusty, cloudy, and soft exterior of the moon, I knew what I was going to say, “ That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”(Neil Armstrong Biography). I had to force my feet into the facial of the moon, so I could put my gloves onto something so never real before. It was like being in air for who knows how long, though we couldn’t play for long, could we. “ Armstrong, start hollering the empty buckets,” Michael Collions said, at least that’s what I thought he said.

We abruptly put our heavy space suits in the bin and sat into our fitted space. I started to press the enormous green button that said go. Buzz flicked some other switches. It was all at once, and we made it work. We have become the first people to land on the moon successfully. When the fiery gas rockets flamed from the moon, we knew we are safely heading home. We were a successful crew, myself, Neil Alden Armstrong, as commander, Colonel Edwin Eugene, “Buzz Aldrin”, and Colonel Michael Collions. (Apollo 11: First Men on the Moon). We together made history and have lead science into a new era of life.
