At 10:56 p.m. EDT, 7/20/1969 — 49 years ago today. American astronaut Neil Armstrong, 240,000 miles from Earth, speaks these words to more than a billion people listening at home: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Stepping off the lunar landing module Eagle, Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon!
To this day, I remember where I was and what I was doing.
