the first lunar landing
Neil Armstrong flew his mission with Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins. This was not the first lunar mission, however, but it was the first lunar landing. Apollo 8 had orbited the moon in December of 1968, and Apollo 10 astronauts flew the lunar lander within 50 miles of the moon's surface as a test flight for Apollo 11's first moon landing attempt.
On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 lunar module, codenamed "Eagle" became the first manned vehicle to land on the moon. Aboard Eagle were Mission Commander, Neil Armstrong, and Lunar Module Pilot, Buzz Aldrin. Although Aldrin had the title of Lunar Module Pilot, it was actually Armstrong who had controls of the lunar module during descent and landing. Aldrin's job was to inform Armstrong of such things as their speed and elevation and descent rate and remaining fuel. Approximately 6 hours after touchdown, Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon.
As stated in the category, Apollo 11 from the US was the first craft on the moon. Neil Armstrong, accompanied by Buz Aldrin were the first men on the moon.
