We explain the first moon landing - mysimpleshow

In the Cold War between the USA and the Soviet Union the rivalry of both nations and aiming for technological superiority led to the so-called space race. Whilst the Soviet Union took an early lead with the first satellite and the first man in space, the US responded by starting the Apollo program. Five years later in the summer of 1969 Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins flew to the moon. On July 21, 1969 more than half a billion people watched the moon landing on TV - a symbolic victory of the US leading to a power balance shift and foreshadowing the collapse of the Soviet Union about 20 years later.
