Moon Landing

A moon landing is the arrival of a spacecraft on the surface of the Moon. This achievement is a significant milestone in space exploration, representing the culmination of extensive technological development and scientific research. The term is often used to refer to the historic Apollo 11 mission by NASA, which successfully landed astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Moon on July 20, 1969. In Hebrew, a moon landing is referred to as נחיתה על הירח. Other relevant translations include Alunissage in French, Mondlandung in German, and Alunizaje in Spanish. The first moon landing was a pivotal moment in the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War era. Since then, several other spacecraft have landed on the Moon, including unmanned missions by various countries aiming to explore the lunar surface and gather scientific data.
