Comment

APOLLO 11 (July 1969). The historic mission, which took off on July 16, 1969. On the night of July 20-21, Neil Armstrong becomes the first man to walk on the Moon, declaring after placing his left foot on the ground: "That's one small step for a man; one giant leap for Mankind". Nineteen minutes later, Buzz Aldrin came out and said: "It may have been a small step for Neil. But it's a pretty big leap for me". He described the lunar landscape as "Magnificent desolation". The third crew member, Michael Collins, remains in orbit in the command module. All three will return to Earth on July 24. Automatically translated

APOLLO 11 (juillet 1969). La mission historique, qui décolle le 16 juillet 1969. Dans la nuit du 20 au 21 juillet, Neil Armstrong devient le premier homme à marcher sur la Lune, et déclare après avoir posé le pied gauche sur le sol : « That's one small step for a man ; one giant leap for Mankind » (« C’est un petit pas pour un homme, un bond de géant pour l’humanité. »). Dix-neuf minutes plus tard, Buzz Aldrin sort à son tour et dit : « C’était peut-être un petit pas pour Neil. Mais c’est un joli saut pour moi. ». Il qualifiera le paysage lunaire de « Magnifique désolation » . Le troisième membre de l'équipage, Michael Collins, reste en orbite dans le module de commande. Tous trois rentreront sur Terre le 24 juillet.
