Apollo 8 was the first manned mission to orbit the moon. The crew members were Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, Jr., William A. Anders. The first time man stepped on the surface of the moon was during Apollo 11. Flight Commander Neil Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the lunar surface. Air Force Colonel Edwin Aldrin later accompanied him. The last of the crew, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michael Collins, stayed in the command module.
The first flight to the moon was Apollo 11, which consisted of three astronauts: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon, followed by Buzz Aldrin. Michael Collins piloted the command module in lunar orbit.
Apollo 11 was the flight that landed the first two people on the moon on July 20, 1969. The astronauts were Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.
