Apollo 11. First moon landing, 20 July 1969. Here, Astronaut Buzz Aldrin steps off the ladder from the Lunar Module and onto the moon's surface. Photo by Astronaut Neil Armstrong, who had, for 18 minutes, been the only human to have set foot on the moon. After this photo was taken, humans in the plural achieved this goal. For this reason, perhaps this is one of the most compelling photo of all moon landings. An ptimised NASA image. Credit: NASA
