Explanation:

In the summer of 1969, the Apollo 11 lunar lander touched down on the moon. This provided the opportunity for Neil A. Armstrong to first step on the moon, stating, "One step for man, One giant leap for mankind."

On July 20, 1969 Armstrong was joined on the lunar surface by Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. Michael Collins remained in Apollo capsule orbiting the moon waiting for Armstrong and Aldrin to return from the moon's surface.

The moon landing was the culmination of a challenge made by President John F. Kennedy at a speech made at Rice University on September 12, 1962. Kennedy challenged the United States to put a man on the moon before the end of the decade.
