In what year did the first man land on the moon?

The landmark event of the first man landing on the moon occurred in 1969. This historic moment was achieved during NASA's Apollo 11 mission, on July 20, 1969. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first and second humans to walk on the moon, while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit aboard the command module. This mission not only marked a significant achievement in space exploration but also served as a pivotal moment in the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Armstrong’s famous words upon stepping onto the lunar surface, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," encapsulated the importance of this achievement in human history.
