Neil and Buzz landed on the moon on the 20th July at 20:16 in the Eagle Lunar Module - Michael stayed behind, orbiting the moon in the Columbia Command Module.
Neil Armstrong had dreamed about going to the moon and in 1969 he became the first man to step foot on its surface. 
You can read all about Neil Armstrong and how he became an astronaut in my History Heroes Book - brilliantly illustrated by the wonderful Mike Philips.

Imagine how it would feel to be sitting in a rocket that was about to blast off to the moon... Perhaps you could write about how you would feel.
Think about what you would hear and see...
What would you be thinking as you heard the countdown?
What would it feel like as you took your first step on the moon?
Or how about Michael Collins? Imagine you are the one that is left in the Command Module as your friends go down to the moon. How would you feel about that?
