First space flights On Wednesday, July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 stands on the launchpad, ready for liftoff.
The astronauts are ready. Armstrong has mastered flying the Lunar Module (LM) using a trainer. The LM is the part of the spacecraft that will separate from the “mother ship” — the Command Module piloted by Collins — and take Armstrong and Aldrin to the moon.
“We never went!”

Lunar landing When the lunar module lands at 4:18 p.m EDT, only 30 seconds of fuel remain. Armstrong radios “Houston,
Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” Mission control erupts in celebration as the tension breaks,
and a controller tells the crew “You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue, we’re breathing again.”

Interview with Mr. Neil Armstrong How did you feel when you first stepped on the moon?
The exciting part for me, as a pilot, was the landing on the moon. That was the time that we had achieved the national goal of putting Americans on
the moon. The landing approach was, by far, the most difficult and challenging part of the flight. Walking on the lunar surface was very interesting, but
it was something we looked on as reasonably safe and predictable. So the feeling of elation accompanied the landing rather than the walking.
