Apollo 11 was the first manned spacecraft to land on the moon. The flight had started in Florida on July 16th and was the 5th manned mission from NASA. Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were the two first people to land on the moon, although the moon-walk wasn't done until 6 hours later, and therefore the next day. Aldrin and Armstrong stayed for 21 and a half hour on the lunar surface. They collected 21.5 kg of moon-material and brought it back to earth for research.
