Neil Armstrong

The Lunar module touched down at 20:17 UTC on July 20

Neil Armstrong made his descent to the moons surface at 02:56 UTC on July 21.

UTC is close enough to GMT give or take 0.9 seconds.

Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon at 2:56 UTC on July 21, 1969.

Neil Armstrong walked on the moon at 2:56 UTC on July 21, 1969. The exact time in different locations on Earth varied due to time zone differences.

The exact time a spacecraft lands on the moon depends on its trajectory and mission plan. The Apollo missions typically landed on the moon in the lunar morning, which provided better lighting for visibility and thermal control. The landing phase usually occurred around dawn on the moon's surface.

Neil Armstrong traveled to the moon aboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft. He and his fellow astronauts, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, journeyed to the moon in July 1969 and successfully landed the lunar module, Eagle, on the surface. Armstrong famously became the first person to walk on the moon during this mission.

The man said he did not want to walk.

His name was Edwin Eugene "Buzz" Aldren Jr.

As of now, there have been a total of 12 crewed missions to the moon. These missions were carried out by NASA during the Apollo program between 1969 and 1972. Additionally, there have been multiple robotic missions to the moon conducted by various countries and space agencies.

The moonwalk dance move was popularized by Michael Jackson, who first performed it during a live performance of his song "Billie Jean" in 1983. However, the origin of the moonwalk itself is unclear, with some crediting street dancers in urban areas in the 1970s for creating the move.

Neil Armstrong took the route designated for the Apollo 11 mission, which involved launching from Earth, traveling to the Moon, landing on the lunar surface, and then returning safely back to Earth. The journey covered approximately 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles) each way.

Yes, the United States was the first country to put a man on the moon. This historic event took place on July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission, with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the lunar surface.

JULY 16, 1969!!

NOT JULY 20, 1969!!

No, astronaut Neil Armstrong did not see the Borobudur Temple from the moon. The Borobudur Temple is located in Indonesia on the island of Java, which is not visible from the moon due to the vast distance and the limitations of the human eye. Armstrong's mission during the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 focused on exploring the lunar surface and conducting experiments.

It took Neil Armstrong, along with his Apollo 11 crewmates, approximately three days to return to Earth from the moon. They splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969, after a successful lunar landing mission.

Yes there are people living on the moon. A long time ago, Mars became barren and unsafe to live on, so the inhabitants left for the Moon.

They chose not to move to Earth because it was too volitile and dangerous. The moon was the safest option, they still live there today, this is the main reason why there is so much secretecy regarding the moon.

Eugene Cernan was the last person to step foot on the moon during the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972.

Neil Armstrong descended to the Moon's surface from the first Lunar Module to land on the moon at 02:56 am, GMT, on 21st July, 1969.

As you should know, all aviation time the world over is expressed in Greenwich Mean Time. NASA's clocks at that time were running on GMT.

The first three men to walk on the moon were Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, all part of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon while Collins remained in orbit around the moon.

Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon. He grew up in Ohio in the United States of America.

Neil Armstrong was an American astronaut and the first person to walk on the moon. He believed in the importance of space exploration and advancing scientific knowledge for the benefit of humanity. Armstrong also emphasized the need for international cooperation in space exploration missions.

Neil Armstrong's spacecraft was called Apollo 11. He was the commander of the mission that successfully landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.

Neil Armstrong's first spaceflight was Gemini 8 on March 16, 1966.during that mission, he performed the first docking with another spacecraft. A fwe hours after docking, the 2 spacecrafts began "tumbling end over end" at the rate of about 1 revolution per second. They were spinning to fast that Armstrong and he copilot, Dave Scott, began to develop tunnel vision. The two astronautswere on the verge of blacking outwhenArmstrong was finally able to regain control of the spacecraft and stop the spin. Armstrong's quick thinking saved the life of the 2 astronauts. They would have died had they blacked out.

Armstrong's heroicactionsduring Gemini 8 put him in line to be one of the first men to go to the moon. His nextassignment was as the thebackup to Gemini 11 commander, Pete Conrad, who flew on Apollo 12. Conradlanded on the moon after Armstrong.

The next stroke of fate came in 1967 when the first Lunar Module was delayed. the Apollo 8 crew of Jim McDivitt, Rusty Schweickart and Dave Scott was training to fly the first Lunar Module in earth orbit, but production delays meant that the LM would not be ready to fly until early 1969. To keep on Kennedy's end of the decadegoal, NASA decided to movethe high earth orbital Apollo9 mission aheadof Apollo 8. The original Apollo 9 mission did not use a Lunar Module.

The 2 missions switched names and the crews stayed with the mission they were trained for. That means that the original Apollo 8 crew, and backups, moved to Apollo 9, and the original Apollo 9 crew of Borman, Collins & Anders (along with backups) became the new Apollo 8 mission. Collins developed neck pain and needed surgery. He was replaced by Jim Lovell, moving Collins to Apollo 8 backup and on to Apollo 11 prime crew. Armstrong wasassignedto the original Apollo 9 backup crew. When that crew became the Apollo 8 crew,Armstrong went with them. It was NASA policythat a backup crew becomes prime 3 missions later. The Apollo 8 backup crew followed that policy, and became the Apollo 11 prime crew. Had the LM been on time then theoriginal Apollo 8 backup crew of Pete Conrad, CC Williams and Richard Gordon would have flown Apollo 11 instead of Armstrong's crew. That means that Conrad would have been the first man on the moon. Williams was killed in a plane crash while training for the Apollo 9 backup and was replaced by Alan Bean.

When the Apollo program began, NASA did not know which mission would be the first to land.Their original plans had the 7th mission being the first one to land on the moon, but the Apollo 8/9 switch cut one mission and the success of the first 4 Apollo missions meant that Apollo 11 would be the first to attempt to land on the moon.

Armstrong's selection as the first man on the moon was a combination of luck, skill and being at the right place at the right time.

Neil Armstrong became an astronaut because of his passion for space exploration and his desire to push the boundaries of human achievement. He took part in the Apollo 11 mission to fulfill a commitment to advancing science and technology, and to inspire future generations to dream big and reach for the stars.

The astronauts found predominantly basalt rocks on the Moon, which are formed from solidified lava flows. These rocks provided important insights into the Moon's geologic history and composition. Additionally, some samples brought back by the astronauts included breccia, a type of rock that is made up of broken fragments cemented together.
