On July 20th, 1969, that dream came true. Two American men landed on the moon. Their names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them off.

THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH
Buzz Aldrin was part of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 when man first walked on the moon. Neil Armstrong went first, followed by Buzz. Nothing in all his training had prepared him for that moment, and he has been travelling the world ever since, reliving the experience. He was born in New Jersey in 1930, and he graduated from West Point Military Academy. He served as a pilot in Korea and West Germany, and in 1966 he was chosen as an astronaut.
Apollo 11 was launched to the moon on July 16. Four days later they landed near the Sea of Tranquility. The mission ended on July 24, with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
On coming back to earth, he became very depressed, and suffered from alcoholism. He had married for the first time when he was younmg, and had three children. His second marriage lasted a very short time.
Fortuntely, he seems to have found happiness and stability with his third wife, Loris Driggs Cannon, who saved him from self-destruction. They now live with their three dogs in California, and have six cars "for fun". He has written his autobiography and a sciece fiction book, called Encounter with Tiber, which was published in 1996. He now travels the world, giving lecture tours and raising funds for space exploration.
