The three astronauts were Neil Armstrong, Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin and Michael Collins. Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the Moon, while Collins remained in orbit in the command module.

AnswerActually what people forget, sadly, is that there were two missions to the moon long before Neil Armstrong's.

Apollo 8 was manned by Frank Borman, William Anders and Jim Lovell (who went on to captain Apollo 13). This took place in late Dec 1968 and was the first time anyone had moved out of earth's orbit

Apollo 9 was a test flight in earth orbit.

Apollo 10 was manned by Thomas Stafford, John Young and Eugene Cernan and took place in May 1969 and was a 'dry run' for Apollo 11.

Neither of these missions was designed to land on the moon (although the lunar module of Apollo 10 got within 8.4 nauthical miles of the surface) but they were the first official voyages TO the moon, paving the way for the Apollo 11 landing ON the moon later in July 1969.
