The Apollo 11 mission landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969. This historic event marked the first time humans set foot on another celestial body. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface in the Lunar Module named "Eagle," while Michael Collins orbited above in the Command Module. Armstrong famously declared, "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind," as he stepped onto the Moon. The Apollo 11 mission was a significant achievement for NASA, demonstrating technological prowess and advancing human exploration of space, and it remains a pivotal moment in the history of science and exploration.
