The maiden flight of the space shuttle program was April 12, 1981. You are probably refering to the 1969 Apollo 11 manned flight to the Moon which carried Neil Armstrong, Edwin [Buzz] Aldwin and Michael Collins to the historic landing in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20. Six hours after touchdown, Neil Armstrong became the first man to step on the moon and Buzz Aldwin became the second. Michael Collins remained on the "mother ship" in lunar orbit. After a two and one half hour moon walk during which they collected 50 pounds of moon rocks, the duo blasted off from the surface of the moon and rejoined Michael Collins in orbit. On July 24, 1969 they safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean.
