Apollo 11 became the first manned spacecraft to land on the moon.
At 9:32 a.m. ET, July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 launched from Florida on its mission to the moon.
Armstrong, the mission commander, and fellow astronauts Buzz Aldrin -- the lunar module pilot -- and Michael Collins -- the command module pilot -- blasted off in Apollo 11 on a nearly 250,000-mile journey to the moon. It took them four days to reach their destination.
History was made on this day more than half a century ago when two American astronauts walked on the moon. A mission many doubted was possible became reality for Neil Armstrong -- the first man to walk on the moon -- and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, who joined him 19 minutes later.
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,"
the astronaut said as he took his first step on the moon's surface.
Armstrong was on the moon's surface for two hours and 32 minutes and Aldrin, who followed him, spent about 15 minutes less than that.
The two astronauts set up an American flag, scooped up moon rocks and set up scientific experiments before returning to the spacecraft.
