Apollo 11 Astronaut – MiniCo Toy Figure – NASA
In July 1969, during the manned spaceflight Apollo 11, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed the Lunar Module Eagle, with Armstrong becoming the first human to set foot on the lunar surface, followed by Aldrin. Michael Collins piloted the Command and Service Module Columbia alone in lunar orbit while his companions were on the surface. They collected material to bring back to Earth. The mission was launched on the Saturn V rocket from the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida, being the fifth manned mission of NASA’s Apollo program. Broadcast live worldwide on TV, Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface and spoke the famous words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Apollo 11 ended the Space Race and achieved the national goal set in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy to land a man on the Moon and return him safely to Earth before the end of the decade. The three astronauts were met with huge celebrations in the United States and around the world, receiving numerous honors and awards.
