Apollo 11 & The Three Historical Influencers That Went Along For The Ride Historical Influencers

    • History

Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon, and it was a defining moment in human history. The mission was launched on July 16, 1969, from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and it consisted of three astronauts: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Armstrong and Aldrin landed the lunar module Eagle on the Moon's surface on July 20, while Collins orbited above in the command module Columbia.

On the surface of the Moon, Armstrong became the first human to step onto another celestial body, famously declaring, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Aldrin joined him on the surface shortly thereafter. The two astronauts conducted scientific experiments and collected lunar samples during their time on the Moon.

The Apollo 11 mission was a significant achievement for NASA and the United States, and it marked the beginning of a new era of space exploration. It also inspired people around the world to dream of what else might be possible in the realm of space travel.
