when did we land on the moon

Humans first landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969. The Apollo 11 Lunar Module, named Eagle, touched down on the Moon's surface at 20:17 UTC. Neil Armstrong then became the first person to step onto the Moon about six hours later, on July 21 at 02:56 UTC, followed shortly by Buzz Aldrin. They spent around two and a half hours exploring the lunar surface before returning to the Command Module and eventually back to Earth.
