Fifty-six years ago today, the world held its breath as astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon. It was July 20, 1969, when Armstrong descended the ladder of the lunar module, the Eagle, and placed his left foot on the surface of the moon, forever etching his name in history. Broadcast live on black and white television screens across the globe, over half a billion people watched as he spoke the now-immortal words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
