human to travel into space completing one Earth orbit aboard
17
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:33.799
Vostok one in nineteen sixty one. We'll be right back
18
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:41.000
with these answers after this break welcome back. Question one,
19
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.280
on what date was Neil Armstrong born? Answer August fifth,
20
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.359
nineteen thirty. Armstrong was born in Wapacaneta, Ohio, and later
21
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.319
became the first human to set foot on the Moon
22

of two spacecraft in orbit. Gemini eight docked with an
26
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.879
uncrewed Agena target vehicle in March nineteen sixty six, marking
27
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.120
the first orbital docking. The mission then suffered a stuck
28
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.879
thruster that sent the spacecraft into a dangerous spin, prompting
29
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.800
an emergency recovery. Question three. Who piloted Apollo eleven's command
30
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.360

landed on July twentieth, nineteen sixty nine in Mayor Tranquilitatis,
36
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.879
after which Armstrong radioed the Eagle has landed. The smooth
37
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.759

38
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.919
Question five. Who was the first human in space? Answer?
39
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:02.360
