The first two people on the moon were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. Michael Collins was with them on the first moon flight, but did not actually join them on the moon. American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon on 21 July 1969, uttering the immortal words, "That's one small step for man but one giant leap for mankind." Fellow astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin joined Armstrong on the surface twenty minutes later whilst Michael Collins remained in orbit above.
