First man on the Moon Neil Armstrong reveals the adventure of the first Moon landing and how the Earth and the Moon came to be, in this unique audiobook.

A young boy sits up in bed and gazes at the distant Moon through his window. He wonders if, one day, a human will stand on its surface and look back at the Earth. But Earth is already being studied from the Moon. An all-seeing Moon rock of almost impossible age, called Bok, has been looking down at our blue and green planet for millennia.

Geologists - people who study rocks - have a saying: 'rocks remember.' During his time, Bok has witnessed some truly wondrous things. Created in the earth-shattering collision four and a half billion years ago that led to the formation of the Moon, he has seen stars burst into being and meteors streak through the solar system. He has seen his own Moon surface be transformed with craters, and he has watched a fiery, volcanic planet transform into the haven we know today - as mountain ranges rose up, oceans appeared and dinosaurs roamed the Earth. 

And he found himself rudely awoken one early lunar morning by a strange creature picking him up and throwing him into a box. That is how Bok and Neil Armstrong first met, and this is their (true) story. 

This story is inspired by an original speech that Neil Armstrong gave when NASA announced him as an ambassador of exploration. This original speech has also been included in this audiobook.
