No serious and level-headed historian, researcher or space industry analyst doubts the moon landings, however. Some people have questioned whether NASA really went to the moon or if the whole thing was faked. Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module Pilot, stands near a scientific experiment on the lunar surface. The first man to set foot on a planetary body other than Earth was not camera shy.It was just that for most of the time he and Buzz Aldrin were exploring the moon in July 1969, the checklist. The probe is expected to spend at least one year mapping the moon for future manned missions, as well as several more years conducting science surveys. On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong made history as the first man to walk on the moon, and uttered his famous words: 'That's one small step.

And the pictures won't just serve as a record of our past presence on the moon, as scientists will be able to use the information in them to make topographic maps of the lunar surface at those sites.Р вЂќР вЂћbout the size of a Mini Cooper car, the $504 million LRO probe, an orbiting satellite, launched toward the moon on June 18. The images of these sites are expected to show scientists how the sites have changed since the astronauts trod across them, whether there are any new craters and how the leftover human artifacts have fared in the lunar environment. 'This is only a first glimpse,' said Michael Wargo, chief lunar scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C., 'From now on, they're only going to get better.' 'Sitting on the surface waiting for us to come back.'Р вЂќР вЂћs LRO gradually descends to a lower orbit, the images will improve and provide closer looks at the lunar landing sites. 'Of course it was fantastic to see the hardware lying on the surface, and it was exactly as we expected it to be,' Robinson said. A few more details can be seen in the image of the Apollo 14 landing site, taken only two days ago, including scientific instruments and astronaut footprints. Armstrong became the first to step onto the lunar surface 6 hours later on July 21 Armstrong spent about two and a half hours outside the spacecraft, Aldrin slightly less and together. (The remaining site, for Apollo 12, is expected to be photographed in the coming weeks.) The lunar modules for all of these sites imaged are visible as small dots their shadows can also be seen. Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first humans on the Moon, Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, on July 20, 1969. The Apollo 11 landing site wasn't the only one that the LRO camera (dubbed LROC) photographed: It also snapped pictures of the landing sites of the other five Apollo landings. Humans had walked on the moon.The Indian and Japanese missions have also snapped images of the Apollo 11 site, but they don't have the high resolution of LRO's images, Robinson said. On July 24, 1969, all three astronauts came back to Earth safely. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to step on the moon. We came in peace for all mankind.' Image Credit: NASA. The two astronauts returned to orbit, joining Collins. The sign the astronauts left on the moon says, 'Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon July 1969, A.D. They picked up bits of moon dirt and rocks.

He and Aldrin walked around for three hours. Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to step on the moon. 50 years ago on the 20 July, 1969, at 10.56 pm EDT. We came in peace for all mankind.'

Neil Armstrong, Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin and Michael Collins were the astronauts on Apollo 11.Р вЂќР вЂЎour days later, Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon. They also had to come back to Earth safely.Р вЂќР вЂћpollo 11 blasted off on July 16, 1969. Apollo 11's mission was to land two men on the moon. They were ready to put people on the moon. One small step for man, one giant leap for color photography: Stunning pictures of 1969 first moon landing show how Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin really saw the world. Was NASA ready to go to the moon? The president and NASA knew they could do it. The United States had just started trying to put people in space. Kennedy was the president of the United States. Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins and Buzz Aldrin flew on the Apollo 11 mission.
