When the telescopes were made, men could see that the moon was really another world. They dreamed of going there.
On July 20th , 1969, that dreamed came true. Two American astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, landed on the moon.
The first thing the two men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years because there is no wind or rain to wipe them off.
