What is The Eagle?
The Eagle was the spacecraft NASA used to land onto the moon. It's also what the astronauts would sleep, eat, and hang out in when they weren't walking on the moon. The Eagle was also used to fly to the moon. How does it fly to the moon? It free falls through space, 900,000 miles. When it entered the moon's atmosphere, the boosters went off while it was hovering over the moon. It slowed down, then slowly touched down onto the moon. "The Eagle has landed", is another famous quote by Neil Armstrong.
