The first person to go to the moon was the Apollo 8 crew, which consisted of Frank Borman (Commander), Jim Lovell (Command Module Pilot), and Wiliam Anders (Lunar Module Pilot). Since there was no lunar module, Anders was tasked with taking photographs of the moon. It was he who shot the famous "Earthrise" photo from lunar orbit on Christmas Eve, 1968.

The first person to land on the moon was Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin of Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969. The first person to actually walk on the moon was Armstrong, who set foot on the surface about 6 hours after the landing.
