The first moon landing was a historic event that occurred on July 20, 1969, when the Apollo 11 spacecraft, commanded by Neil Armstrong and piloted by Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, successfully landed on the Moon. The Lunar Module, named "Eagle," touched down in the Moon's Sea of Tranquility. Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the lunar surface, delivering the famous words, "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Buzz Aldrin joined him shortly after. They conducted scientific experiments, collected samples, and planted the American flag before reuniting with Michael Collins, who remained in lunar orbit aboard the command module. The mission marked a monumental achievement in human exploration and space travel, showcasing the capabilities of science, technology, and human determination.
