The moon is 384,400 kms from Earth.
It was going to take the spacecraft 3 days to fly there.
Its a dangerous mission.
It was going to be difficult trip for the astronauts because they needed do a lot of work.
They finally launched Apollo 11 on July 16th 1969 at 9;37 am.

Its a beautiful sight.
At night the men sleep zipped up in floating-hammocks.
They fix special space meals to eat.
