What was Buzz Aldrin doing as he stepped off the landing pad?
doing the moon walk
Who uttered the first word on the moon?
That depends on how you define the first word. Buzz Aldrin spoke the first words spoken from the moon after the Apollo 11 landing, "Ok, engine arm off. ACA out of Detent." Which roughly translates to puting your car in "Park" (ACA out of Detent) and turning off the key (Engine arm off). It was important to turn off the engine so it wouldn't accidentally fire. The first words spoken from the surface are "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. Which were uttered by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11 just 5 hours after landing on July 20, 1969.
Why did the spacecraft used during the space race not set off straight towards the moon?
It has to be done in stages you see, first it was the Mercury one man craft, it was sub orbit and then orbiting the earth., the Gemini spacecraft with the first walk in space, then the Apoll7 after the fire a new craft was tried. Apollo 8 first visit by man around the moon. Apollo11 landing on the moon.

Why did people get half a day off school to watch the moon landing in 1969?
It was the first time in all of history that a human was setting foot on a celestial body that was not the Earth. Truly history in the making.

When did the first moon craft make a soft landing on moon?
The first soft landing on the moon was Surveyor 1, which landed on June 2, 1966 at 2:17 PM ET. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveyor_1. They turned off the engines when the lunar lander when it was 3.4 meters above the lunar surface, and it free fell from there. This beat out the Soviet Luna 9 mission by 4 months. The first soft landing manned mission was Apollo 11 which landed on July 20, 1969 at 4:17 PM ET
Was there a full moon when man landed on the moon?
When there is a full Moon, the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth to the Sun, and the Sun's rays reflect off the moon and back to Earth. So we have SUN >>> EARTH >>> MOON. At this time, the side of the Moon facing the Earth is in full sunlight, and the Sun is very high in the sky as seen from the Apollo landing sites. This means that shadows on the Moon are very short at this time, which would have made it more difficult for astronauts to see detail on the surface, especially during the landing. So in fact the landing took place whilst it was "morning" on the Moon, so that the Sun was lower in the sky and shadows would make the surface detail stand out more.
What was the Harrier first bred for?
Horizontal take off and landing.
What are the good things and the bad thing about the Moon landing?
If you mean the FIRST landing, then the question is where to start... Here's one of the answers for scientists who say there were no stars in the images: that's because the moon was excessively bright from the sun reflecting off of it (the moon is just a giant white ball really) which caused the camera to lower it's ability to capture light. All you have to do is a Google / Ask / Yahoo search and you'll come upon the mother lode of information. http://www.google.com/search?q=was+the+moon+landing+fake?

Is the Eagle a space craft?
Eagle was the lunar module of Apollo 11 that landed on the moon for the first moon landing. All of the moon landings had a lunar module which could separate from the main craft and land on the moon. It could then take off again and dock with the main craft. The different lunar modules were given different names.
