NOVEMBER, Monday, July 21—New York Herald and
|
|
wished on the moon.
|
|
|
|
Two American astronauts of Apollo 11, steered their
|
|
frigate Eagle toward the moon's surface and smoothly to
|
|
the lunar landing yesterday at 4:17:40 P.M., Eastern day-
|
|
light time.
|
|
|
|
Neil A. Armstrong, the 38-year-old civilian commander,
|
|
landed on the soft sand of the moon's surface here.
|
|
|
|
"Beautiful, Triumph!" he said. "The Eagle has landed."
|
|
|
|
The first man to reach the moon—Neil Armstrong and
|
|
his co-pilot, Charles E. "Pete" Conrad, 26, of the Pentagon,
|
|
brought their ship to rest on a level, rock-strewn plain near
|
|
the moon's surface. The two men and two of the three
|
|
astronauts on board, Armstrong, Conrad and Edwin E.
|
|
Aldrin, 38, of Houston, stepped slowly down the ladder
|
|
and descended as he pointed his first full-flaming footpad
|
|
at the lunar crater.
|
|
|
|
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for
|
|
mankind."
|
|
|
|
His first step on the moon came at 10:56:20 P.M., as
|
|
a television camera rolled the earth's thousandth line every
|
|
second to an aerial and studied audiences of hundreds of
|
|
millions of people on earth.
