Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong both landed on the moon at the same time.


Armstrong descended the ladder first to become the first man on the moon. Aldrin came down the ladder about 20 minutes after Armstrong.

The reason Armstrong was first was decided by mission planners. The hatch to exit the Lunar Module was hinged on Aldrin's side of the spacecraft, which made it was easier for the commander (Armstrong) to exit the vehicle first.
