On July 20, 1969 one man made the most popular step in history. Together with Edwin Aldrin Jr. and Michael Collins, Neil A. Armstrong flew to the moon and took a walk on it. This was one of the most expensive and most popular projects in American history. The USA wanted to demonstrate the Russians that they were the nation with the best technology. The space craft with which these three men flew to the moon was called Apollo 11. After a few more landings this project was no more interesting, and today no country has the intention of sending an expedition to the moon.
