Armstrong and Aldrin would spend a total of 21 hours on the Moon, two-and-a-half of them outside the Eagle module.

When Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon for the first time, it was called the most important achievement by humans in the twentieth century. Jan Armstrong, Joan Aldrin, and Pat Collins among others were beside themselves with joy and their prides in their husbands bursted forth.
Static crackled and hissed as NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong took the historic first step on the surface of the moon and uttered the now unforgettable phrase, “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. We came in peace for all mankind.
Each of the new minerals arrived at their names in different ways.

President John F. Kennedy future the adventurous task that often he described as “landing an individual on the Moon and surrendering him without any problems to the Earth”. Columbia splashed-down in the Pacific Ocean at 16:50:35 UTC on Thursday, 24 July 1969. Aldrin handed Armstrong a white bag known as a “jettison bag,” or “jett bag” for short, full of things the astronauts no longer needed-the banal detritus of spaceflight, from food wrappers to containers of human waste. It was on national television and NASA has remastered the recording and it can be found on the internet. The target is to raise $500,000 on popular crowdsourcing platform, Kickstarter, to conserve the spacesuit in a specially created climate-controlled display case and also digitize the spacesuit with 3D scanning. The suit was created for short-term use so the materials are expected to break down over time.
