Apollo 11 - Space mission

• Apollo 11 was the spaceflight which landed the first humans.
• Neil Armstrong, the commander was the first person to step on the moon.
• Buzz Aldrin landed after him.
• According to different NASA accounts, he had originally been proposed as the first to step onto the Moon's surface, but
  due to the physical positioning of the astronauts inside the compact lunar landing module, it was easier for the commander, Neil Armstrong, to be the first to exit the spacecraft.
• "That's one small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind". This was said by Neil Armstrong, when he stepped on the moon.
• Luna 15 was a Soviet probe designed to collect lunar soil and return it to Earth and study circumlunar space and the lunar gravitational field, which could have given the Soviets more Moon glory. The mission along with Apollo 11 played a important role in the culmination of the Space Race. Luna 15 was launched 3 days before Apollo 11 and reached lunar orbit before Apollo 11. During descent, a malfunction caused Luna 15 to crash on the Mare Crisium of the Moon, just after Armstrong and Aldrin completed their moon walk.
• The Commander Neil Armstrong died aged 82 on 25th August 2012
