The lunar module was on the moon's surface for about 21.5 hours. Armstrong left the vehicle in his suit to perform various tasks on the lunar surface (EVAs), which took about 2 hours and 36 minutes. Because this was the first manned lunar landing it was the stortest. There were many unknowns, safety concerns and time restraints, including the suit performance and in particular the coolant consumption rate; Armstrong had to rush to complete the required tasks and at one point Mission Control was concerned for his high metabolic rate and asked him to slow down. A fifteen-minute extension was added before they returned to the LEM. By comparison, Apollo 17 had about 22 hours of surface operations.
