The Apollo 11 mission was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Mission Commander Neil Alden Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Eugene “Buz” Aldrin, Jr. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above.
The lunar module was named “Eagle” for the national bird of the United States, the bald eagle, and featured prominently on the mission insignia. Once on the Moon Armstrong said the famous words, “Engine arm is off. Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.”
After describing the surface dust (“fine and almost like a powder”), Armstrong stepped off Eagles footpad and into history as the first human to set foot on another world. It was then that he uttered, “That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” 6 ˝ hours after landing.
After more then 2 ˝ hours on the lunar surface, the left behind scientific instruments, an American flag, an Apollo 1 mission patch, and a plaque bearing two drawings of Earth (of the Western and Eastern Hemispheres) with the signatures of the astronauts and Richard Nixon, inscribed, “Here Men From the Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We Came in Peach For All Mankind. They also left behind a memorial bag containing a told replica of an olive branch as a traditional symbol of peace and a silicon message disk. The disk carries the goodwill statements by Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon and messages from leaders of 73 countries around the world.
