There was no "Space Shuttle" when Neil Armstrong launched, and he never flew

on one.

Armstrong was a member of the 3-man crew aboard Apollo 11, along with

Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins, launched in July 1969. The three of them

together rode the Apollo command module to the vicinity of the moon, and

entered lunar orbit. Armstrong and Aldrin then climbed into the Lunar Excursion

Module (LEM), separated from the command module, and descended to the

lunar surface, where they became the first humans to walk on the surface of

the moon, while Collins continued to orbit the moon in the command module.

The Space Shuttle, which came 15 years later, was never capable of going

anywhere near the moon.
