I can only remember bits and pieces of the stellar spectacle, but I do remember the reactions of my family and what it meant to them. On that hot summer day in 1969, I would witness a historical moment in space exploration as the Apollo 11 mission brought men to the surface of the moon. Although I was only 8 years old, I knew that if something is on every television channel, it must be important. "Get in here!" my mother cried out to my father. "It's about to start!"
I followed my father into the living room, and we both sat on the sofa, staring at the small, fuzzy screen while the newscaster introduced the event. As my parents both stared intently, I began to feel just as curious myself.
We heard the well-known phrase uttered from Armstrong's voice: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Tears ran down my father's face, and I understood the significance of the event. I sat there silently for a minute, and then my father looked at me, smiling and nodding.
"This universe is so huge," he said, "but it doesn't matter. In just a little more time, think of where you could go, what you could do."
In fact, that is all I could think about after that day. My interest in science and engineering grew rapidly, and I eventually made my way into a prestigious school where I began helping to design a new spacecraft for a private company.

1) earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) the plates are called tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) they can move because earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) plates may also collide. (8) when that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) for example, the collision of the plate carrying the indian subcontinent created the himalayan mountains when it collided with the asian plate. which statement about this paragraph is accurate?
