 Today I read Moonwalk -The First Trip to the Moon-.  This is the story about Apollo 11 launching and returning to the Earth safely. At that time, it was unbelievable for people to go to the moon, but a lot of scientists and astronauts made great efforts, and they achieved the landing on the moon.  Astronauts who went to the moon for the first time could not hug or shake hands with anyone after they returned to the Earth because people think that they have some bacteria from space. After that, the doctor recognized that they are healthy and they got free. It was the most surprising and interesting thing in this book. After I read this book, I felt that I want to go to the moon someday! Surely, you will also feel so;)
