Apollo 11, the mission that Neil Armstrong went to the moon on, launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. However, NASA is a federal agency, so it was the country of the United States that actually sent him. Florida was just the state that he left from.
I don't believe it can be said that any state sent men to the moon. The space missions were sponsored by the US Government through NASA
NASA sent Neil Armstrong to the moon. But President Kennedy paid for the space mission.
1969
Neil Armstrong
The first man on the Moon was Neil Armstrong. He was sent to the Moon because the Russians had already sent a man into space and America wanted to beat them so they sent a manned mission to the Moon.
On July 20th, 1969, the Apollo 11 space mission sent Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin onto the moon.
Neil Armstrong was part of the Apollo 8 Mission into space. This mission sent 2 people on the moon; Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren. Neil Amrstrong was the first American on the moon. In fact, he was also the first man on the moon.
Not personally, as Kennedy had been dead nearly six years by the time Armstrong landed on the moon.
Neil Armstrong's boots were left on the moon along with nine other pairs of boots. They were left so that the moon rocks could come back. Weight issue.
Yes Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon, but Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was the first person to be sent into orbit around Earth, he was sent into orbit around Earth on April 12 in 1961
The first time America sent a man on the moon (Neil Armstrong) landed on July 16,1969.
John F. Kennedy sent 3 men on the apollo 11: Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Michael Collins, and Neil Armstrong. four days later Aldrin and Armstrong landed on the moon Collins stayed in orbit. On july 20, armstrong was the first man on the moon.
They were chosen by N.A.s.A for the Apollo 11 mission.
