The first manned moon landing mission is Apollo 11, which occurred in July 1969. This historic mission, led by NASA, saw astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins travel to the Moon. Armstrong and Aldrin landed the lunar module, "Eagle," on the Moon’s surface, while Collins remained in orbit aboard the command module, "Columbia." Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the Moon, famously stating, "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Apollo 11 remains a pivotal achievement in space exploration history.
