Its a dangerous mission.
It was going to be difficult trip for the astronauts because they needed do a lot of work.

The astronauts can see Earth growing smaller and smaller.
Its a beautiful sight.
At night the men sleep zipped up in floating-hammocks.
They fix special space meals to eat.
Buzz Aldrin likes shrimp.
