On what date did Apollo 11 make its first lunar landing?

Apollo 11 made its first lunar landing on 20 July 1969 at the Sea of Tranquility. The first human step on the moon off the craft occurred on 21 July 1969.


Who uttered the first word on the moon?

That depends on how you define the first word. Buzz Aldrin spoke the first words spoken from the moon after the Apollo 11 landing, "Ok, engine arm off. ACA out of Detent." Which roughly translates to puting your car in "Park" (ACA out of Detent) and turning off the key (Engine arm off). It was important to turn off the engine so it wouldn't accidentally fire. The first words spoken from the surface are "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. Which were uttered by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11 just 5 hours after landing on July 20, 1969.


Why did the spacecraft used during the space race not set off straight towards the moon?

Spacecraft used during the space race did not set off straight towards the moon because they needed to enter specific trajectories to account for the Earth's gravity and align with the moon's orbit. This allowed for a more efficient use of fuel and navigation towards the moon. Additionally, they needed to perform complex maneuvers like lunar orbit insertion and lunar landing.


How would you get to the moon?

To reach the moon, you would typically need to launch a spacecraft using a powerful rocket. The spacecraft would travel through space for about three days before entering the moon's orbit and landing on its surface. The spacecraft would then need to take off again and return to Earth.


What was Buzz Aldrin doing as he stepped off the landing pad?

As Buzz Aldrin stepped off the landing pad of Apollo 11, he became the second person to set foot on the moon after Neil Armstrong. Aldrin joined Armstrong in conducting experiments, collecting moon samples, and deploying scientific instruments. Together, they spent about two and a half hours on the lunar surface before returning to the lunar module.
