In the summer of 1969, the United States space agency known as NASA achieved a decade-long goal it had sought: landing a man on the moon and returning him to Earth. Fulfilling a promise laid out by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, Michael Collins, Neil Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin went to the moon and back.

Apollo 11 was NASA’s first manned space mission with the expressed purpose of landing mankind on another celestial body and returning the crew to Earth. The crew of Apollo 11 took off from Merritt Island, Florida, on July 16, 1969. Four days later, the crew approached the moon with Michael Collins piloting the command module as Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong descended to the moon in the Eagle lunar lander.
