What was the name of the American spaceship which were used in the trips to the moon?

Yes, Neil Armstrong was married. He wed to Janet Elizabeth Sharon, who later died from being diagnosed with pneumonia from a brain tumor. He remarried a lady named Carol Held Knight, who is his current wife.
What research did Neil Armstrong do in the moon?
He looked for rocks on the moon to take back to earth and carried out some scientific experiments.
Armstrong and Aldrin investigated how easy it was for man to operate on the Moon and set up the "Early Apollo Scientific Experiment Package" which comprised two separate packages the "Passive Seismic Experiment" and the "Laser Ranging Retroreflector"
Who was the second man to set foot on the moon?
neil Armstrong
Colonel Edwin Eugene Aldrin, Jr. was the second man to step on the moon. See the Related Link for "Answers.com: Buzz Aldrin" to the right for the answer.
Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, who landed on the Moon on NASA Apollo 11 mission, July 20, 1969.
The other astronaut on the mission, Neil Armstrong, was the first man to walk on the Moon. Aldrin set foot on the Moon a few minutes later.
The second man to walk on the moon was American astronaut Colonel Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin (born January 20, 1930), who accompanied the first man, astronaut Neil Armstrong.
They were both in the lunar lander Eagle so they landed at the same time. Armstrong was the first one to actually step out onto the surface. His job as one of the physical crew members was being the Lunar Module Pilot.
The second man to walk on the moon was Edwin Aldrin.
What did neil Armstrong discover?

Why is Neil Armstrong so famous?
Neil Armstrong is famous for being the first person to walk on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. His historic words, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," have become iconic in space exploration history. Armstrong's achievement marked a significant milestone in human space exploration and inspired generations of people around the world.
Does the American flag fixed on the moon by Neil Armstrong wave?
Other than by human interaction, the flag never has waved on the moon. There are several reasons for this.
First, all of the flags planted on the moon had a support bar across the top to hold the flag "open" rather than hanging limply down the pole. They did this to give the flag an appearance of blowing in the wind. There is no wind on the moon.
Second, the flags did not wave without first being moved by an astronaut (such as the astronaut twisting the pole as it was planted or by brushing the flag as he moved past it). In a low-gravity vacuum the material of the flag will behave differently than it would here on earth. This behavior is often cited as "proof" that the flag was blowing in the wind, which it was not. There is no wind on the moon.
Third, the location the Apollo 11 crew (Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin) planted the flag turned out to be too close to the Lunar Module (LM). The also didn't get the pole very deep into the lunar surface. When the LM lifted off Aldrin saw the flag getting blown over.
Fouth, the flags were simple nylon flags bought at a local department store by NASA, the same you can buy today just about anywhere. After more than 40 years in direct, unfiltered sunlight, unprotected from the harmful radiation of the sun (protection provided to Earth by our atmosphere, something that is notably absent on the moon) the flag has most likely disintegrated into very small pieces, possibly into dust.
What was the date the first man took a step on the moon?
During the Apollo 11 mission, Neil Armstrong took the first step onto Moon's surface on July 21 1969 at 02:56 UTC.
When did Niel Armstrong Land on the moon?

What Apollo 2 assistant minded the store while Armstrong and Aldrin made history?
Michael Collins orbited the moon alone in the command module Columbia during the historic landing when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the moon's surface in the lunar module Eagle.
Also note that Apollo 2 is not an actual Apollo mission. Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins flew on Apollo 11 (that is an eleven, not a roman numeral II)
When did Alan Bean walk on the moon?
Alan Bean walked on the moon on 19 and 20 November, 1969. He investigated the lunar surface as part of the Apollo 12 mission.. The total time he spent walking on the surface was approximately 8 hours.
Which country sent the first man to the moon?
The United States sent the first man to the moon. On July 20, 1969, NASA's Apollo 11 mission successfully landed the astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the moon. Neil Armstrong was the first human to walk on the moon.
What evidence suggests that the US did not really land on the moon in 1969?
Theres no known evidence.
The thing that a lot of people couldn't quite adapt to seems to be that what NASA filmed on the moon had a black backdrop and looked as though it could have been filmed in a studio. If something is filmed on earth there is atmosphere and sky and clouds. When something is filmed on the moon there is no atmosphere, no sky and no clouds... just the black of space in the background. If it had of been filmed in a studio news would have leaked out somewhere. Mostly people just cant keep their mouths closed for too long about anything.
