Neil Armstrong and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin became the first and second men to walk on the Moon on 20 July 1969, in the Sea of Tranquility. There was 1 EVA lasting 2 hours and 31 minutes. Total time on the lunar surface was 21.6 hours. Time in lunar orbit was 59.5 hours, completing 30 orbits. There was 44 lbs of lunar material gathered.

This mission was the culmination of a challenge given to the nation eight years earlier, on 25 May 1961, by United States President John F. Kennedy.

The Command and Service Module (CSM) was named Columbia, and the Lunar Module (LM) was named Eagle.

The Apollo 11 command module is on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
