Apollo 11 - United States space vehicle that landed on the Moon
at 10:56 P.M. on July 20, 1969. When astronaut Neil A. Armstrong set foot
on the lunar surface he said "That's one small step for man, one giant
leap for mankind." Shortly before this famous quote Americans heard at
approximately 6:00 P.M. EST Astronaut Armstrong report "Houston,
Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed." [referring to the Eagle
Lunar Module].
On the second mission to the Moon [Apollo 12] on October 27, 1969,
Commander Charles "Pete" Conrad stepped off the Lunar Module and stated
"Whoopee! Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long
one for me!"
