LUNAR LEGACY PROJECT
This
web site was created to expand the general public's knowledge about the Apollo
11 mission. Apollo 11 was the first manned mission of NASA's (National
Aeronautic and Space Administration) Program to land on the moon.
NASA designated this location as Tranquility Base. The "XI" marks the area of the first landing. The history of that moment was recorded live on television and radio.
One sixth of the world's population witnessed the event as it happened. Many people know who the first person to step onto the moon's surface was - Neil Armstrong, but fewer know who the second person on the moon was Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin Jr. Michael Collins orbited above in the Command Module.
