Happy 😃 National 🇺🇸 Moon 🌕 Day!

20 July 1969
Apollo 11 landed the first humans on the Moon on 20 July 1969. They were Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Six hours after landing, Armstrong was the first one to step onto the lunar surface and spent two and a half hours outside the spacecraft.
