The company NASA made a rocket ship for the first people to fly to the moon.
The Americans wanted to be the first to touch the moon because they could learn from studying the rocks and dust.
In 1969, on July 20th, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Mitchell Collins, they walked up a metal staircase to get into the Eagle, which was the rocket's nickname.
After visiting Tranquility Base, they took moon rocks and dust home with them to Planet Earth.
