Today we are celebrating that on this date in 1969 when humans first set foot on another world. USA astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to step on the moon. Armstrong and Aldrin explored the mood for about 3 hours. A bit of random information: outer space is getting spicier. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are growing red and green chile peppers for the first time. Dozens of seeds have been placed into a science carrier. They’ll take about four months to grow before they’re ready to eat.
