When was the Moon landing?

The first Moon landing occurred on July 20, 1969, during NASA’s Apollo 11 mission. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon, while Michael Collins orbited above in the command module. Armstrong’s famous words, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” marked the historic event. The mission was a significant achievement in the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. It demonstrated technological innovation and inspired global interest in space exploration. The Apollo 11 landing site is known as Tranquility Base.
