Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969 and the name of their lunar module was Eagle. "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed". is what the first words from the lunar surface back to Earth were.
eagle
Speaking to Mission Control from the surface of the moon, he said, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."
These were some of the first words uttered by Neil Armstrong after the Apollo 11 mission landed on the moon in 1969. The full quotation is "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." The first words uttered on the moon were actually Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saying "Contact light!," followed by a brief exchange of technical jargon related to shutting down the engines of the lunar module.
"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." As spoken by Neil Armstrong from The Sea of Tranquility in 1969.The Lunar module was called Eagle.You just said it was called The Apollo 11 lunar module.
To save weight. Leaving the lower part (the descent stage) behind on the moon (the lower part was used, among other things, as a stable base for the lunar lander to land on) allowed the lunar module to carry less fuel. It could carry a minimum of fuel because it didn't have to lift the lower part of the module off the moon in addition to the pressure vessel that the crew inhabited. Since the ascent stage of the lunar module was lighter from requiring less fuel, the scientists and engineers could include more important gear for the mission (for example: lunar experiments, a higher payload of rocks and regolith for the return trip, essential systems in the crew modules, etc...). The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed the ascent stage of the Apollo 11, 14, 15, 16, and 17 missions in July 2009 with plans to photograph the Apollo 12 site.

The "Lunar Excursion Module" of the Apollo 11 space mission was named "Eagle". The first words transmitted from the surface of the Moon were "Tranquility Base here; the Eagle has landed."
It was "Eagle". ie: "Tranquility Base, The Eagle has landed."
The lunar module eagle landed on the base called Tran quality sea.
When the lunar lander landed he told Houston, "Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed." When he stepped onto the lunar surface he said, "One small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."
These were some of the first words uttered by Neil Armstrong after the Apollo 11 mission landed on the moon in 1969. The full quotation is "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." The first words uttered on the moon were actually Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saying "Contact light!," followed by a brief exchange of technical jargon related to shutting down the engines of the lunar module.
"Houston, tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." said by Neil Armstrong as Eagle, the lunar module, landed on the moon. "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" said by Neil Armstrong as he set foot on the moon.
They landed on the area called Tranquility Base.
Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Moon's surface, in the Sea of Tranquility, at 0256 GMT 20 July 1969, nearly 20 minutes after first opening the hatch on the Eagle landing craft. Armstrong had earlier reported the lunar module's safe landing at 2017 GMT 19 July 1969 with the words: "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."
These were Nasa code words for the Command and lunar modules on one of the Apollo space missions. it could not have been #ll which had the very patriotic and dignified title of Eagle for the landing module- Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed!) the command module overhead was code-named Columbia, another good flag-waver.
Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed. That is what Neil Armstrong said when Buzz Aldrin and he landed on the Moon. That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. That is what Neil Armstrong said when he first set foot on the lunar surface.
