Fifty-five years ago this week, mankind achieved something it had long dreamed: a lunar landing.
From July 16 to 24, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins ventured where no human being had gone before, the moon’s surface. Armstrong was the first to step out onto the moon’s surface. During his moonwalk, Armstrong said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
