On July 20, 1969, U.S. astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr., of the Apollo 11 mission, were the first men to walk on the moon. There they set up experiments and took photographs. Armstrong and Aldrin returned to Earth with about 48 pounds (22 kilograms) of rock and soil samples that they had collected. As Armstrong stepped out of his spacecraft he said, “That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.”

At 9:56 p.m. on July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon's surface, proclaiming, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" - inadvertently omitting an "a" before "man" and slightly changing the meaning he intended to convey.
