The Moon

Luna, which was known to humans for much of its history as simply the moon. Once humanity advanced into an era of space colonization, the term 'the moon' became vague, and was soon replaced by Luna, or Earth's moon.

The first space race
The moon was the very first celestial body that humanity has reached. Humanity's first contact with the moon happened in 1959, when the Soviet spacecraft Luna-2 crashed onto the surface of Luna. During the second half of the 20th century, many attempts and feats were carried out by the USSR and the USA, some of which involved Luna. The first every human on Earth was Neil Armstrong, who stepped on the moon in 1969. Between 1969 and 1972, a total of twelve individuals, all American males, have made direct contact with Luna. The USSR never landed on the moon and their government collapsed several decades later
