Humans walked on the moon on July 20, 1969.
The July 20, 1969, moon landing was a big day for Hamilton: the software she built worked, and that's how mankind got to the moon
Eight years after Russian Yuri Gagarin exited the atmosphere in a space capsule and circled the earth, the United States made history by landing men on the moon. The historic day was July 21, 1969 and Apollo 11 touched down on the lunar surface and Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Before the Apollo space program ended there would be 38 astronauts participating and of those 38 only twelve would actually put their feet on the moon.

Apollo didn’t die; it was killed. The Apollo Program might have continued for many years, evolving constantly to achieve new goals at relatively low cost. Instead, programs designed to give Apollo a future beyond the first lunar landing began to feel the brunt of cuts even before Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. By […]

The Apollo Lunar Module (LM) was the lander portion of the Apollo spacecraft built for the US Apollo program by Grumman to carry a crew of two from lunar orbit to the surface and back. Six such craft successfully landed on the Moon between 1969–1972. The LM, consisting of an Ascent stage and Descent stage, was ferried to lunar orbit by its companion Command/Service Module (CSM), a separate spacecraft of approximately twice its mass, which took the astronauts home to Earth. After completing its mission, the LM was discarded. In one sense it was the world's first true spacecraft in that it was capable of operation only in outer space, structurally and aerodynamically incapable of flight through the Earth's atmosphere.
