    At 10:56 p.m. Eastern Time Zone Armstrong was ready to plant the first human foot on another
    world. With more than half a billion people watching on television, he climbed down the ladder
    and proclaimed: “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

    Apollo was the NASA program that resulted in American astronauts’ making a total of 11
    spaceflights and walking on the moon. Apollo 11 was the first mission to land humans on the
    Moon. It fulfilled a 1961 goal set by President John F. Kennedy to send American astronauts to
    the surface and return them safely to Earth before the end of the decade
    Apollo 11 was launched by a Saturn V rocket from Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island,
    Florida, on July 16 at 13:32 UTC, carrying Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot
    Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and it was the fifth crewed mission
    of NASA's Apollo program. The Apollo spacecraft had three parts: a command module
    (CM) with a cabin for the three astronauts, the only part that returned to Earth; a service module
    (SM), which supported the command module with propulsion, electrical power, oxygen, and
    water; and a lunar module (LM) that had two stages—a descent stage for landing on the Moon
    and an ascent stage to place the astronauts back into lunar orbit.. After being sent to the
    Moon by the Saturn V's third stage, the astronauts separated the spacecraft from it and traveled
    for three days until they entered lunar orbit An estimated 650 million people watched
    Armstrong’s televised image and heard his voice describe the event as he took “…one small
    step for a man, one giant leap for mankind” on July 20, 1969.
    Aldrin joins him shortly, and offers a simple but powerful description of the lunar surface:
    “magnificent desolation.” They explore the surface for two and a half hours, collecting samples
    and taking photographs.
