Early in the morning of July 1969, nearly a million people jammed the roads around Cape Kennedy in the USA. In a heavity guarded open space, they could all see a huge white rocket with its nose pointed upto the sky. This was the Saturn 5 rocket, and in its nose were three astronauts who were going to be the first men on the moon. With a prolonged roar, amidst a vast cloud of smoke and fine, the enormous rocket rose skyward over the ocean and then into outer space.
