On July 16th 1969,  Neill Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins set off on Apollo 11 to land on the moon. Just four days later this goal was achieved with Armstrong and Aldrin walking on the moon whilst Collins stayed in orbit to do experiments and take pictures. This giant leap for mankind should not be forgotten.
