Question

    On July 20, 1969, the Apollo-11 landed on the moon and US astronaut Neil Armstrong set foot on it. He made history in space. But the public knew little about him. This year, the new movie First Man gives us a new look at this hero. It shows how Armstrong and his NASA workmates risked their lives to do the great job.

Armstrong was a quiet man in real life. Viewers can see this in the movie as well. He was very good at his job as an engineer and pilot in his early years. In 1962, he became a NASA astronaut. The movie carefully describes the ups and downs of the Apollo 11 mission（任务）, such as public pressure due to the high cost of the mission. You can even see how they found a way to connect a lunar spacecraft with its mothership in space.

The movie also tells some unknown stories about Armstrong. His daughter Karen died at 2 from cancer. That was shortly after he became an astronaut. This made a big difference to him, although he tried to make himself look okay. Most of his closest friends didn’t even know about it. In spite of his sadness, Armstrong threw himself into his work. He moved his family to Houston where he joined NASA. If you want to know what the real Armstrong was like, this movie won’t let you down.
