On July 20, 1969 the '''Apollo 11''' spacecraft landed on the [[moon]], and soon after, [[Neil Armstrong]] became the first man to set foot on the moon, when he stepped off the Lunar Module Eagle onto the moon's surface, delivering the line: "''That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.''"

The crew of Apollo 11 consisted of 3 astronauts: Commander [[Neil Armstrong]], Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr., and [[Michael Collins]]. [[Buzz Aldrin]] was second on the moon, while Astronaut Collins orbited the moon in the Apollo Command Module. The two astronauts initiated a live videotaping to be seen on earth and placed a [[United States]] flag on the surface, and a commemorative plaque which read: ''"Here men from the planet earth first set foot on the moon July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind."'' They then spent time gathering samples of rocks and soil to bring back to Earth.
