When did the first astronauts walk on the moon?
Neil Armstrong made the first moonwalk on July 20,1969.
How did neil Armstrong leave moon to go back to earth?
The Lunar Module (LM) was a spacecraft built in two halves.
The bottom half, called the Descent Stage, contained the landing legs, the descent engine and the fuel it needed to burn, all the science equipment the astronauts used on the moon, and extra supplies the astroanuts used while inside the LM between EVA's.
The top half, called the Ascent Stage, contained the living area/cockpit for the astronauts, the communication equipment, the computers, the Ascent Engine and the fuel needed to burn it, and storage for the lunar samples being returned to Earth.
After the surface mission was over, the astroanuts would pack everything they needed into the top half (the Ascent Stage). At exactly the right time, explosive bolts fired separating the top half from the bottom half. Seconds after that the Ascent engine would fire, essentially using the Descent Stage as a launch pad, returning the crew to orbit, and leaving the Descent Stage on the moon (where they can still be found today).
Once in orbit the Ascent Stage would rendezvous with the already-orbiting Command/Service Module (CSM) being piloted by the Command Module Pilot. Once all the crew, equipment, and lunar samples were transferred from the LM Ascent Stage into the CSM the tunnel between the two craft was sealed and the LM was released where it would eventually impact the moon (they did this on purpose, as it would produce a shockwave throughout the moon which was recorded using seismographs left on the surface. This helped NASA scientists examine the interior makeup of the moon).
The CSM would then fire its engine for a return trip to the Earth. Once near the Earth the Service Module would be separated from the Command Module (all the supplies and astronauts were stuffed into the tiny Command Module) and the Command Module would reenter the Earth's atmosphere. Once it had slowed down enough parachutes were deployed that allowed the module to splash safely down into the Pacific Ocean where a US Navy ship would fish the crew and then the Command Module itself out of the water and place them on the deck of the ship. From there the crew and their equpiment were transferred back home.
Who took the picture of the first man to walk on the moon?
The camera was installed by Grumman when the Lunar Module was assembled. The camera was installed a fold-out panel called the MESA, which was to the left of the ladder. When Neil Armstrong stepped of the LM's porch onto the ladder he pulled a D-handle, unfolding the MESA, which activated the camera.
Who were Neil Armstrong's two companions on Apollo XI?
Neil Alden Armstrong (Mission Commander), Michael Collins (Command Module Pilot) and Edwin Eugene Aldrin (Lunar Module Pilot (now his name has been changed to Buzz Aldrin)).
What time did Neil Armstrong walk on moon?
Apollo 11 landed at 20:17 UTC (UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time and is essentially the same as GMT). This means that is was 3:17pm on the East coast of the US and in Houston, TX, where Mission Control is located, it was 1:17 pm.
How Neil Armstrong became a Muslim?
He didn't. He remained a deist. That is just a myth.
As of April 1999 Muslimedia.com Reported that Mr, Armstrong's office's secretary in Ohio said that he never did, and that he does have great respect for Islam though, I personally think that what triggers such sayings is the kind of scientific facts discovered from the outer space, especially the ones with relevance to Mecca and some verses of the Quraan.
Neil Armstrong did not convert to Islam.
No. That is a commonly circulated myth.
Neil Armstong is definitely not a muslim.
Who was the first british person to walk on the moon?

Who was the first personto walk on the moon?
US astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the Moon, on July 20, 1969. Armstrong and his fellow Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin were the first men to land on the Moon.
The first man to walk on the Moon was American astronaut Neil Armstrong (1930- 2012).
He accomplished this feat on July 20, 1969, becoming the first human from Earth to do so.
The time in the USA was 10.56 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time.
Because EDT was 4 hours behind GMT (or UTC as it would be now) the Moon walk started on July 21st according to GMT.
Armstrong exited the "lunar module", a small spacecraft that had separated from the main spaceship Apollo 11, and took his first steps on the Moon. He was accompanied by astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. (1930- ).
As he set foot on the Moon's surface, Armstrong spoke the historic words, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." (The live voice transmission had dropped the "a" before "man," but it was added later.) Armstrong fulfilled the goal of U.S. President John F. Kennedy (1917-1963), who had announced on November 25, 1961, that the United States would land a man on the Moon before the end of the decade.

Is Brian Armstrong Neil Armstrong grandson?
Yes, he has two sons, Eric and Mark. He also had a daughter, Karen, who was diagnosed with a malignant tumor of the middle part of her brain stem; X-ray treatment slowed its growth, but her health deteriorated to the point where she could no longer walk or talk. Two-year-old Karen died of pneumonia, related to her weakened health, on January 28, 1962.
Who were niel Armstrong's companions?
Edwin "buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins. Aldrin walked on the moon while Collins stayed on board and took pictures as well as communicating with Earth.

What was the dogs name who went into space with neil Armstrong?
The first dog to go into space was Laika.
The flag had a metal "curtain rod" that folded out, sewn into the top seam of the flag. They simply folded out the rod, and the flag looked like it was waving, especially since they left it sort of crumpled to look like Earth flags do when they are waving. Now here is the important part. The ONLY times the flag moves are when the astronauts are moving it, or brushing past it, or when it is settling down from this. At NO time did the flag ever move otherwise, because there was no air. There are plenty of pictures and footage to prove this. I am posting links to pages that help people understand this and other things that confuse them about the flights. See below.
What year did Neil Armstrong land on the moon?

Neil Armstrong saa small crater at the landing sight called Tranquality base and to avoid it the spacecraft went a little ahead and so was not a accurate landing.
