Moonlanding

A moonlanding refers to the event of a spacecraft or human-made object touching down on the surface of the Moon. This term is most commonly associated with the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, when NASA astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to land and walk on the Moon. In Hebrew, this event is known as נחיתה על הירח (nahitah al hayareah). Other relevant translations include Mondlandung in German, alunissage in French, and alunizaje in Spanish. The moonlanding marked a significant milestone in space exploration and was a pivotal achievement during the Cold War-era Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Since Apollo 11, several other unmanned missions from various countries have successfully landed on the Moon, contributing to our understanding of its geology and history.
