On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 carried the first humans to the moon on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong, an American, stepped onto the lunar surface six hours after landing on the moon for six hours. He spent two and a half hours outside the spacecraft. Buzz Aldrin came shortly after, stepping onto the lunar surface, following Buzz Aldrin. After joining Armstrong, the two men discovered 47.5 pounds of lunar dust. Their specimens will travel back to Earth to be analyzed.
A third astronaut waited in the command module. Michael Collins, the pilot, remained alone in orbit until Armstrong and Aldrin returned.
Millions of Americans watched the mission from Earth as a child caught up in the excitement of the adventure. Televisions around the world have been tuned in to the live broadcasts. Around the world, the astronauts had a worldwide audience. As a result, Armstrong stepped onto the moon's surface and described the event as "one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind," as a result.
