アポロ11号の、月面着陸のお話。

July 16, 1969.  Cape Kennedy, Florida.

A huge white rocket towers against the blue sky.

 

月へ行くのは、人類の夢？？？  アメリカ対ソビエトの宇宙戦争？？？

Then, in 1961, something happenend. President Joho F.Ken made a speech.

He told the world that America would send a man to the moon before the 1960s ended.

Going to the moon was no longer a dream.  It was a goal. 

Why did President Kennedy set this deadline?

The reason had to do with another country-the Soviet Union.

 

厳しい訓練が続きます。大統領の死を乗り越えて、計画は進行します。

月に向かった3人のAstronouts が、月面着陸に挑みます。

The spacecraft is going to divide into two parts.

Aldrin and Armstrong will head for the moon in one part-a landing craft called the Eagle.

Mike Collins will stay behind in the other part-the command module.

The command module is named Columbia for Christopher Columbus.

 

そして、月面の人類が立ちます。

Soon comes the most exciting moment of all.  Armstrong opens the hatch and steps down.

His first words are, “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

He is standing on the moon.

 

無事、地球へ帰還。

In the years to come, human being will travel father and father into space.

They will make wonderful discoveries.

But we may find that the most perfect world in the universe is the one we know best.

The planet Earth.

 

月面着陸は、偽りだという説もあります。

う・・・・、偽りかもしれない？？？　読後感想。
