This Day In History 20 July 1969


Man takes his first steps on the moon with Neil Armstrong's historic quote "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
The landing was the culmination of decades of rocket research resulting in the Apollo Project. The landing craft Eagle was part of the Apollo 11 mission. Each mission had a unique arm patch. The patch for Apollo 11 was subsequently used on the Eisenhower and SBA dollars.
