On 16 July 1969 at 9.32am, the giant Saturn V was launched from Cape Canaveral, the most significant voyage in human history. The huge Saturn V consisted of three main stages, was 110 m high and weighed 3,000 tonnes. It could carry a payload of 50 tonnes and reached a speed of 11.2 km/second. The 394,000 km journey to the moon took 72 hours. After reaching low Earth orbit, the upper assembly with the Apollo capsule received thrust from the third stage of the launch vehicle to reach flight speed to the Moon. Later, the Apollo assembly detached from the rocket, rotated and pulled the lunar module out of its protective envelope. Thus coupled together, this unit arrived at the moon and swung into lunar orbit. After a few lunar orbits, the Lunar Module separated from the command module with astronauts N. Armstrong and E. Aldrin on board, separated from the command capsule in which only astronaut M. Collins remained. The Lunar Module touched down in the Sea of Tranquility with two firings of the retromotor. This historic event will be remembered forever.
