On July 16, 1969, the Apollo 11 space mission
blasted off from Florida with astronauts Neil
Armstrong, "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins
aboard, bound for the moon. After traveling
about 380,000 kilometers (236,000 miles)
through space, the Lunar Module Eagle safely
touched down on July 20. For the first time in
history, human beings had landed on the moon.

Print out this pattern, cut out the pieces, and assemble as
shown in the diagram. It may be easier to cut widely each part,
and then trim the parts carefully. Don't worry if you can't cut too
closely around some of the fine details.
