The first man on the Moon in 1969

Neil Armstrong


While I was searching in the Internet about historical moments of 1960s I found an interesting history of a man who launch to the Moon in 1969.

 Neil Armstrong Becomes the First Man on the Moon (1969): On July 20, 1969, as part of the Apollo 11 mission, The US astronaut Neil Armstrong opened the hatch of the lunar module (nicknamed Eagle) and stepped out onto the ladder. Once at the bottom of the ladder, Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the moon and became the very first man on the moon. A few minutes later, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin followed him.

In 25 August 2012 he died at the age of 82 after complications arose from cardiovascular procedures.
