The Quiz: The first visitors here left behind a plaque. What does it say?
A Kilroy was here
B We offer harmony to the universe
C We came in peace for all mankind
In full, the plaque says, “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.”
The moon is Earth’s only natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest satellite in our solar system but the largest relative to the size of the planet it orbits. Only 12 people have walked on the moon, and none since 1972.
The moon is believed to be part of the Earth, made of debris after a massive collision 4.6 billion years ago. The moon orbits around the Earth about every 28 days, stabilizing the Earth’s wobble on its axis, which has the effect of moderating our climate.
The correct answer to this quiz is We came in peace for all mankind.
