Unit Description

Despite the turbulence of the 1960s, the decade closed on a high note with the Apollo 11 space mission, by which the first humans in history landed on the moon. On July 20, 1969, Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin separated the Lunar Module Eagle from the Command Module Columbia and set down on the lunar surface. Six hours later, on July 21, Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, proclaiming to a worldwide television audience that the event was “one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” Fulfilling the goal set eight years earlier by the late President John F. Kennedy of “landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth” before the decade was out, the Apollo 11 mission brought Space Race victory to the United States and raised national hopes for a new era of peace, prosperity, and international cooperation.

Unfortunately, things went terribly wrong in the 1970s.
