In 1969, Apollo XI astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first men to walk on the moon, after their lunar module separated from the command module and landed on the lunar surface at 09:18 GMT/4:18 EDT on the Sea of Tranquillity. Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin establish Tranquility Base while Michael Collins orbited above. Armstrong stepped on the lunar surface at 10:56 ET and proclaimed “Thatʹs one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Nearly 700 million earthlings tune in.
In 1969, “Armstrong Walks on the Moon”! It was the culmination of a national goal, set by President Kennedy, to land an American on the moon before the decadeʹs end. After flying 240,000 miles through airless and soundless space, the buglike lunar module separated from the ship and began its jerky descent to the surface. On living-room sets, on giant outdoor screens, and in appliance-store windows, the drama unfolded. The moduleʹs thrusters kicked up lunar dust and, transfixed, we saw — actually “saw” — the craft cast a shadow on that dust. Then, at 4:17 P.M., EDT: “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” The first words from the moon. (Oddly, the picture was far clearer than the audio.) More than six hours later, a hatch opened and the bulky, silhouetted figure of astronaut Neil Armstrong cautiously descended the ladder, leaping the final three feet to the powdery surface. “Thatʹs one small step for man,” he intoned over his headset, “one giant leap for mankind.” Nothing on television before or since has approached that unforgettable and triumphant moment.
