When they got there Armstrong and Aldrin became the first men to land on the Moon. This mission was president John F. Kennedy's goal, to go to the moon by the year of 1960s. First in 1961 Kennedy gave a speech saying that ' I believe that this nation should cammit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning home safely to the Earth. Those were Kennedy's words, that became true. The Apollo 11 landed from the Kennedy Space Center, on july 16, 1969 at 9:32 a.m. the moon aiming the lunar orbit. The landing spaced was choosed because of its flat surface. Apollo landed with not that much fuel on, Armstrong reported landing on july 20.
