"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

These were words said by astronaut Neil Armstrong when he became the first human to ever step foot on the moon. Years before this historical photo was taken, some thought that it would be impossible for any country to ever send a man up into space and then land on the moon successfully. Here, it shows not only the mission being a success, but that America was the country that landed on the moon first. Armstrong planted the American flag in the ground to show that USA had won this "race to the moon" that the whole world eventually became a part of. This event shaped the world for the better. It allowed for others to see the impossible becoming possible. It made countries around the globe step it up. Because of this event, many others were sent up to the moon. This picture represents hope. It represents determination. It represents an unlikely event becoming real life.
