Fortunately, the vast majority of Americans believe this, because it is a fact. The small percentage of the population that does not believe it consists almost exclusively of those who were not alive to witness it. It was measured by one poll as approximately 6% of the US population, compared to 25% among a sample in the United Kingdom.

*About half of those polled in the US, mostly older Americans, could not identify that the first man on the Moon was Neil Armstrong. Some thought it was Alan Shepard (first US astronaut in space, 1961) and some thought it was John Glenn (first American in orbit, 1962).

*For those interested, there is ample evidence at NASA and in various astronomical journals (because you can see the landing sites and some of the landers and vehicles from Earth).
