Footprint on the Moon During Apollo 11 Mission
ca. July 20, 1969 --- Astronaut Neil Armstrong took "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" when he stepped out of the Apollo 11 and onto the moon, July 20, 1969. For the United States, the moment was a triumphant finish to a race that began in 1961 when the Soviet Union put the first manned spacecraft into orbit. --- Image by © Corbis
