The moon landing refers to the historic event on July 20, 1969, when NASA's Apollo 11 mission successfully landed the first humans, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, on the surface of the moon. Armstrong famously stepped onto the lunar surface and declared, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." The mission was a significant milestone in human history, representing a triumph of science, technology, and human exploration. It marked the culmination of years of effort in the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War era and remains one of the most iconic achievements of the 20th century.
