Scientists needed to solve many problems before the first person could walk on the moon. They needed to figure out how astronauts could survive the journey to and from the moon in the weightless environment of space. They needed to figure out how astronauts could repair the outside of the spacecraft in case something needed to be fixed. Scientists also needed to figure out how to make sure the spacecraft had enough power to return to earth again. What is the topic: How to become an astronaut. How to build and repair space ships.
