Everything after the actual landings is up in the air, depending on the conditions that prevail then.
This is the exact position that the pilot's head would be in during actual landing.
Only when he had reached the actual landing did he start reading slowly.
Of course this meant actual landings would not be long delayed.
So we took a gamble and today was to have been the actual first landing on the Moon by men.
Even so it was only twenty four hours before the actual landing that the time and place were known.
And, hiding out, scouts had witnessed the actual landing of the ship.
The first flight to the Moon was a popular topic of science fiction before the actual landing in 1969.
That wasn't too hard, up till the actual landing.
The actual landings on 5 June were much less eventful.
