“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The first humans set foot on the moon #OTD 49 years ago. On July 20, 1969 more than a billion people tuned in to their television sets back on Earth to watch Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin go where no man had gone before. Pictured here, Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, lunar module pilot, stands on the surface of the #moon during the #Apollo11 moonwalk. Astronaut Neil Armstrong, mission commander, captured the photo. _ Follow gettyarchive for more pictures of people, places, and moments that are shaping #history. _ 📷: Universal History Archive/ UIG via Getty Images | #Astronaut #NeilArmstrong #BuzzAldrin #moonwalk #NationalMoonDay #manonthemoon #Archive #FBF #FlashbackFriday
