On this day 57 years ago, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins returned to Earth. The astronauts spent the next three weeks in quarantine—just in case, however unlikely, they had contracted a dangerous infection on the Moon.

NASA flight controllers celebrated OTD in 1969, as the crew of Apollo 11 , as well as 47 pounds of lunar surface material splashed down in the Pacific.

The first crewed lunar landing mission—an ambitious goal set by President Kennedy eight years earlier—was now complete.

Mission Control: Are you up and at 'em yet? Over.
Armstrong: Well, we're up, at least

As the crew of Apollo 11 began this day in 1969, they looked out the windows and started preparing their spacecraft for their return to Earth the following day.

On July 23, 1969, the Apollo 11 crew reflected upon their historic journey to the Moon in a television broadcast.

The astronauts gave thanks to the workers and American people for their support during the mission.

Take a look at the @MSUEaglesRifle new set-up of Mega-link targeting system. Major upgrade for our program for a deserving bunch of student-athletes!

Happy Moon Day!!! Let’s keep it going…

57 years ago today, the clearest case of American Exceptionalism became extraterrestrially undeniable.

The Stars and Stripes were planted on the lunar surface to commemorate the greatest achievement in human history. 🇺🇸🚀

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, the crew of Apollo 11, showed the world that America can undertake and achieve the near-impossible. The pioneers and heroes of that era inspired generations of astronauts, pilots, explorers, engineers, scientists, and technicians, many of whom now show up to work each day at @NASA and across the most technologically advanced aerospace industry on Earth.

President Reagan called for our return to the Moon, but @POTUS gave us Artemis, the National Space Policy, and the resources in the Working Family Tax Cut Act. Now the best and brightest across YOUR space agency, alongside industry and our international partners, will deliver.

America is going back. We will fulfill Gene Cernan's immortal words from Apollo 17: "God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind." Artemis III is up next in 2027. Artemis IV lands in 2028. The Moon Base project is already underway...and America will never give up the Moon again.

July 20, 1969, 10:56 pm ET: "That's one small step for man... One giant leap for mankind." Hundreds of millions of people tuned in around the world to watch the moment Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon. How NASA made it happen: https://t.co/bnQUG1hxef

The Eagle has landed 🦅🇺🇸
#OTD 57 Years Ago: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the Moon, marking the first human foot on another world. A total of 12 humans have walked on the Moon. With the Artemis Program, NASA is sending humans back to the Moon, this time to stay.

On this day in 1969, Ohioan Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. 🌕

Three years later, the Armstrong Air & Space Museum (@armstrongspace) opened in his hometown of Wapakoneta, Ohio.

🌕 Happy International Moon Day!

On this day in 1969, Neil Armstrong took humanity's first steps on the Moon. Today, through the Artemis program, we're building on that legacy.

Together, we're shaping the future of deep space exploration, one mission at a time.

I get to spend part of my day, on the 57th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, with this American hero.

Apollo 11 CAPCOM. Apollo 16 moonwalker. NASA astronaut. Brigadier General Charlie Duke.

No matter where we go from here, we will never do it with more courage, humility, and determination than the Apollo generation did.

One giant leap for mankind

History was made on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11's Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first to set foot on the Moon.

For more than 5 decades, the total number of moonwalkers has remained at 12. NASA will change that with Artemis IV.

[Armstrong Air & Space Museum @armstrongspace]

On this day in 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon, becoming the first humans to step foot on another world.

As Armstrong stepped off the LM at 10:56 PM EDT, he spoke those now famous words, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

[National Air and Space Museum @airandspace]

On this day in 1969, Apollo 11 entered lunar orbit and the crew got a close-up look at the Sea of Tranquility, where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin would land in lunar module Eagle the next day.
