On July 20, 1969, humans first landed on the moon . American astronauts Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Neil Armstrong became famous for their Apollo 11 moon landing. As he took his first steps on the moon's surface, Neil Armstrong famously said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Four days earlier, on July 16, Apollo 11 blasted off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The world watched as the rocket, known as the Eagle, soared into the sky. After three days, Apollo 11 entered the lunar orbit on July 19 — a day later, the aircraft touched down on the moon . It was then that Neil Armstrong said, "The Eagle has landed."
