Apollo 11

Apollo 11 was a historic spaceflight that marked the first time humans landed on the Moon, with Commander Neil Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin landing on July 20, 1969, and Armstrong becoming the first person to step onto the Moon's surface. The mission, launched by NASA, was launched by a Saturn V rocket on July 16, 1969, and the astronauts spent 21 hours on the Moon's surface, collecting 47.5 pounds of lunar material and conducting a historic moonwalk. The mission effectively proved U.S. victory in the Space Race, fulfilling President John F. Kennedy's 1961 goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth.learn more on wikipedia
