2Ilorbit round the Earth, one to refuel the other, which would then Ifavel to the Moon. But other scientim at NASApreferred to fire a two-part spacecraft direct to the Moon, where it would separate, with two crew members descending to the surface while a .!< third circled the Moon in the other part. When the
lunar landing was over. the spacemen on the Moon
would rejoin their companions, leaving their landing vehicle behind. L I Finally.on 16 July 1969, Apollo" set off for the JO Moon. The names of the astronauts on that Ifip would go down in history: Neil Armstrong, Edwin Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.Neil Armstrong, after four days In space, climbed down the ladder of the lunar module Eagle, which had landed on the ." Moon's Sea of Tranquillity. He stepped off on to the surface of the Moon.' ",I I Other visits to the Moon followed. The last time was on lS December 1972 and it was. as President Nixon had predicted, to be 'the last timf inr'-th.c.is;,--, ... century that men will walk on the Moon' LI..,-_:-, Experts. however, brought him down to earth saying the President had 'good intentions but they are unrealistic', Although NASAhas decided to leave the Moon in " peace, the same cannot be said of the private sector. Private space companies such as International Space Enterprises and General Dynamics, both based in Colifomia, will be launching their first m.nnod space flights to the Moon in the near future. In the long ;0 term, they .,m to found the first colonies on the Moon.' I The plan looks a bit like this: the first stage will take place in 20'0, when robot explorers will be sent to the Moon to gather information concerning the " suitability of the soil. Ten yea" later, by which time the ideal area will have been found, astronauts will arrive to carry out experiments on the spot and they will start building the first station. I I If all goes well, by 2060 the first colony on the eo Moon will be ready: a huge space station shaped like an igloo, which will have been equipped with all the latest technological gadgets. h will also have been fumished to receive its first guests: several hundred scientists for whom it will be the first home in space. 6; It is not unlikely that after several decad~s, or perhaps a century later, these igloos will have Increased in number.
