Twenty minutes later, having switched on cameras fitted to the module, Armstrong stepped down onto the Moon’s surface, uttering the memorable line: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”.

The astronauts collected some lunar soil samples, installed the US Flag and took an image of planet Earth. Armstrong dropped the jett bag to the surface, and later kicked it under the lunar module to get it out of the way. We came in peace for all mankind. They returned via the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969.
