Apollo 11

Apollo 11 (16-24 July 1969) was the NASA mission that first landed humans on the Moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed the lunar module Eagle in the Sea of Tranquility on 20 July while Michael Collins stayed in lunar orbit in the command module Columbia.

Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon about six hours after landing, followed by Aldrin; they spent about two and a half hours outside. The crew launched on a Saturn V from Kennedy Space Center.
