Description
Moon landing, 21 July 1969. Composite image depicting US astronaut Neil Armstrong (born 1930) descending the ladder of NASA's Apollo 11 lunar module (LM-5 Eagle), and preparing to be the first human to set foot on the Moon. The Earth is at upper left. Armstrong exited the lunar module at 0239 UTC, beginning his descent 12 minutes later at 0251 UTC. The controls on his chest obstructed his view of his feet. While descending the 9-rung ladder he pulled a ring to start a camera. At 0256 UTC he stepped off the lunar module onto the Moon's surface, uttering the famous words 'That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.'
