On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 was launched from Florida, carrying three brave astronauts: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. After a journey of four days, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed the lunar module, Eagle, on the moon's surface. Armstrong's first step and his famous words, 'That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,' became a landmark moment in human history.
