' That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.'
He spoke these words as he stepped out onto the lunar surface, the first time anyone had set foot on the moon.

He has since stated that he had an awareness at the time of it being only one physical step for him, but that such a historic advancement was only made possible by the work of many other persons all around the world.
Did Neil Armstrong leave the American flag on the moon?
No, he needed his boot to keep his spacesuit sealed.
The astronauts did, indeed, leave a lot of stuff on the moon, including their backpacks (known as the PLSS, or Personal Life Support System). The only way the astronauts could throw stuff out of the Lunar lander was to open the door. They were able to toss their PLSS's because, after their final EVA they hooked their suits into the Life Support systems aboard the lunar lander. However, they did not carry extra boots, and if Neil hadn't had his boot connected to his suit when they opened the door of the LM to the vacuum of the moon he would have died.
