At 4:17 PM (EDT) on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon, and at 10:56 PM Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, followed 20 minutes later by Aldrin. During there moon walk that lasted over 2 hours they placed devices to measure solar wind reaching the moon, a device to receive laser beams from Earth to determine the exact distance between the two, and a seismometer to measure moonquakes and impacts from meteors. They also brought back about 50 pounds of moon rock and soil samples, and took several photographs. After 21 hours and 38 minutes they used Eagle's (their landing craft) ascent stage to launch it back into orbit and redock with the command module Columbia (not the Space Shuttle) which was piloted by astronaut Michael Collins. They landed their spacecraft in the Pacific Ocean about 900 miles from Hawaii on July 24. They were then placed in quarantine for 21 days to check for any diseases they may have contracted while on the moon.
