that was definitely in 1969..... I remember it well and was watching thru a telescope....I followed Apollo 11, beginning with liftoff on the morning of July 16 when the mighty Saturn V rocket, the most powerful machine yet constructed by human beings, propelled the three astronauts on their way into history. I watched the coverage of the trip to the moon until finally, in the afternoon of July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin landed their lunar module, the Eagle, on the lunar surface.

Apollo 11 blasted off on July 16, 1969. Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins were the astronauts on Apollo 11.
Four days later, Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the Moon. They went down to the Moon on the Lunar Module. It was called the Eagle. Collins stayed in orbit. He did experiments and took pictures.
On July 20, Neil Armstrong became the first man to step on the Moon. He and Aldrin walked around for three hours. They did experiments. They picked up bits of Moon dirt and rocks.

They put a U.S. flag on the Moon. They even left a sign on the Moon.
