The Apollo 11 crew of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Michael Collins circled the moon while his crewmates walked below. Armstrong was the commander who actually flew the Lunar Module to the surface of the moon. Aldrin's job as Lunar Module Pilot was to feed Armstrong information such as speed (both forward and descending) and fuel. Aldrin also ran the computer while Armstrong kept his eyes outside the vehicle searching for a safe landing spot on the Sea of Tranquility.

The landing occurred at 4:17pm EDT on July 20, 1969. 6 1/2 hours later, Armstrong descended the ladder to become the first man to walk on the moon. Aldrin followed him down about 20 minutes later.
