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.
