First Man on the Moon

21 July 1969 02:56 (UTC) — Neil Armstrong becomes the first man on the moon. Capturing the attention of the entire world, Armstrong backs down the ladder of the lunar module Eagle and steps onto the lunar surface. Achieving the goal that was so long sought after, he announces “that’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
