On what date did Apollo 11 make its first lunar landing?
Apollo 11 made its first lunar landing on 20 July 1969 at the Sea of Tranquility. The first human step on the moon off the craft occurred on 21 July 1969.
The names of the first men on the moon?
Neil Armstrong was the commander of Apollo 11, and Buzz Aldrin was the Lunar Module pilot. Armstrong guided the Lunar Module, Eagle, to the actual lunar landing, while the LMP fed the commander information such as altitude and speed. This was necessary because the commander had to keep his eyes on the landing site to make sure they landed in a safe place and not in a crater or on a boulder. The 3rd crewmember, Michael Collins, orbited 60 miles overhead in Colombia while his crewmates landed.

Is there any controversy regarding the first person to go to moon?
Yes, there are many conspiracy theorists out there claiming the first lunar landing was a hoax. All they need to do is look at the build up to the lunar landing. There are countless logical, precursory stages that preceded Apollo 11. The development of the space craft, the trial stages of the various launches & progressive steps by each astronaut prior to 11. There is boundless, unquestionable evidence as to the authenticity of the lunar landing. This is not to mention the astronaut they choose to make the first step. If an "actor" was what they were looking for then certainly Neil Armstrong (thee most low profiled, reserved, unassuming of all the astronauts every to walk the corridors of NASA) was the wrong choice. What would his motive have been? To make money? To bask in the fame & glory? Did he do either?
