Apollo 11 mission commander Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) with fellow astronaut Michael Collins, in their flight suits, with a technician behind them, arriving at the top of Pad A, Launch Complex 39 prior to launch.

NASA's Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, which took place from 16-24 July 1969, was the first landing by humans on the Moon. Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the surface in the Lunar Module, while Collins remained in orbit in the Command Module. Photographed on 16 July 1969, at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA.
