Ngenkathi uNeil Armstrong engena okokuqala kusathelayithi yethu, umhlaba wamukela izindaba phakathi kwemizwa ehlukene yokunqotshwa kwezulu nomhlaba nezinsolo zesiteji esingahlanjululwa phakathi kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi nomjaho waso wasemkhathini, osekufinyelele kuzungu lamacebo omhlaba ayizicaba kuze kube namuhla.
Kodwa-ke, umuzwa wokugcina wengqophamlando yomlando, ukubaluleka komzuzu, incazelo yamazwi okuqala ka-Armstrong afinyelela umhlaba wonke ekuqaleni kokuxhumeka okuphelele, ukubonakala okuthile kwesigidi ngasinye sabantu abalandela i-space odyssey kwaba imbiza yokuncibilika yomlingo yayo yonke impucuko yabantu. Ithemba lakhuphuka ngaleso sikhathi futhi umkhathi wabonakala uvuleka njengomgwaqo omkhulu, emcabangweni ojwayelekile, eminyakeni embalwa ukusuka manje, owawungahumusha ekunqobeni izindawo ezintsha kanye neplanethi eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.
Eminyakeni engu-XNUMX kamuva, umgwaqo omkhulu awukavulwa futhi isikhala siyaqhubeka nokuba yindawo okunzima ukuthi abantu bangene kuyo. Futhi mhlawumbe yingakho lolu hambo luthathwa njengoludumile, uhambo olumile lokungakwazi ukuqhubeka nokwenza lula ukuhamba kwendawo leyo engxenyeni eyikhulu eyedlule yabonakala ngathi izovela ibe yinto engafaniswa nanoma iyiphi inoveli eqanjiwe yesayensi Jules Verne.
Njengengxenye yalesi sici esidumile, ukufika kwesikhumbuzo seminyaka engama-50 kungumgubho ofaka le ncwadi ka-Eduardo García Llama, unjiniyela we-aerospace weNASA osimema ukuba siphinde sifeze ingqophamlando yombono wenoveli yezobuchwepheshe, leyo yemiyalezo emuva phakathi komkhumbi nesiteshi. Futhi impela imilingo yalolo hambo olubhekiswe kubantu ngaphesheya kweplanethi yethu ihlala kuleso samba sezokuxhumana, okuvelayo kanye nezindatshana zamaqhawe akwazile ukubeka ifulegi enyangeni.
Ithimba elenziwe osomkhathi abathathu abayizifanekiselo (khumbula ukuthi uMichael Collins ompofu akazange anyathele inyanga, njengomshayeli ophethe imodyuli, nayo eyi-bitch ...) bavula umbono wethu kusukela kulowo mzuzu baphila from Earth ngamathelevishini (bukhoma noma ngokwenza kabusha okwenzelwe thina ababengekho lapha okwamanje). Futhi ayikho indlela engcono yokunikela ngalezo zimpahla ezintathu ezindala ukuze uphile i-adventure enkulu kakhulu yomuntu kuze kube manje.
Manje usungathenga incwadi i-Apollo 11, ivolumu ethokozisayo enezichasiselo zamanoveli, ngusosayensi nonjiniyela weNASA, u-Eduardo García Llama, lapha:
