I can remember the night of July 20th 1969 sitting in front of my television in the early hours of the morning watching a grainy black and white image of Neil Armstrong climbing carefully down the ladder of the Lunar Module and stepping out onto the surface of the Moon, the first man to have done so. It was a magical, awe inspiring moment that I shall never forget. A man was walking on the Moon, 240,000 miles away, and I was watching it happen, live, on the TV that sat in the corner of my living room! Amazing! "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind". It certainly was. I felt privileged to be able to witness such a remarkable moment in history.

Manned landings on the Moon took place in 1969, 1971 and 1972, with two landings in each of those years. 1970 is missed out because that was the year of the Apollo 13 accident and review, pushing the next landing into the following year.

First off, guy and gals, let's cut him a little slack on the phrasing: I think when we say "we landed on the Moon", we can accept that as the generic "we" meaning Mankind [or humanity or personkind for those who don't like the word Armstrong used].
And that's all. I'll chime in with those who remember seeing it on TV that summer night on a grainy B&W TV without cable or a remote. I have since been re-trained to get my shiver not [just] from the words "That's one small step...", but a bigger one from the slightly earlier, and less scripted statement: "Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."
Well all that said, I just looked in to see how many idiots were going to spout off the Apollo Hoax Theory, and am happy to see none so far!

We landed on the moon in three years: 1969, 1971, and 1972.
Oh, you wanted the first year? Silly me!

Just a question to liberals. We landed on the moon 45 years ago, do you really think we are not capable of building a pipe that dosen't leak and emplace safety measures for unforeseen events like earthquakes and terrorist attacks? The Keystone pipeline is being blocked for one simple reason. It dosen't promote Obama's liberal green agenda. I guess it is safer to load crude oil into tankers and ship it across the ocean exporting the dollar to countries that would absolutely destroy us if they could or we can just allow China to purchase the Canadian oil so they can have even cheaper energy, further driving down their manufacturing cost and destroying American jobs.
