In which year did Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin find that the moon is just a rocky desert with no water and no vegetation?
Answer: D
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon on 20 July 1969 during the Apollo 11 mission, so the year is 1969. Their landing and moonwalk showed a dry rocky surface of dust and rock with no water and no vegetation. 1965, 1966 and 1968 were years of earlier uncrewed or Earth-orbit missions, before the landing. The mission launched on 16 July 1969, the lunar module landed on 20 July, and the astronauts brought back samples that showed the surface to be dry, dusty basaltic rock. The other years in the options belong to the build-up of the Apollo programme, not to the landing.
