In July 1969, NASA achieved a goal set forth for the nation and NASA earlier in the decade by President John F. Kennedy. President Kennedy challenged the nation to win the Space Race by sending a man to the Moon and returning him safely to Earth. Apollo 11 was an eight-day mission that saw two American astronauts spend a total of 21.5 hours on the lunar surface before returning safely home to planet Earth.
