1969
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.
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.
NASA sent Neil Armstrong to the moon. But President Kennedy paid for the space mission.
Neil Armstrong
He was sent to the moon by the United States. At the time, there was a space race between the United States and the USSR to get to the moon and beyond first. This was the more political reason for him (and the whole crew) to be sent.
To put it short the USA did it. the first ,man on the moon was neil armstrong
Not personally, as Kennedy had been dead nearly six years by the time Armstrong landed on the moon.
Buzz Aldrin accompanied Neil Armstrong on the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969. Together with Michael Collins, who remained in lunar orbit, Armstrong and Aldrin made history as the first humans to walk on the moon.
Neil Armstrong loved planes and flying since he was young. He got a pilot's license before a obtaining a driver's license. Flying was his first love, and space flight was the ultimate expression of this love he had for flight.
The NASA moon program was called Apollo, and three-man crews were sent to the moon beginning in 1968. The first three men to ORBIT the Moon were the Apollo 8 crew in December, 1968 : Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders. The first two men to LAND on the Moon were Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, on July 20, 1969. The first man to actually set foot on the Moon was Neil Armstrong.
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.
The first manned mission to land on the moon was Apollo 11 in 1969. The 3 astronauts on board were Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Neil Armstrong famously became the first human to walk on the moon.
