    		Neil Armstrong


    1969: America lands man on the Moon

    American Neil Armstrong has become the first man to walk on the Moon.
    The astronaut stepped onto the Moon's surface, in the Sea of Tranquility, at 0256 GMT, nearly 20 minutes after first opening the hatch on the Eagle landing craft.

    Armstrong had earlier reported the lunar module's safe landing with the words: "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

    As he put his left foot down first Armstrong declared: "That's one small step for man but one giant leap for mankind."

    He described the surface as being like powdered charcoal and the landing craft left a crater about a foot deep.
