Apollo 11 was the first space mission that landed humans on the moon. On July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin landed on the Moon while Michael Collins stayed in the Command Module. On the surface, Armstrong and Aldrin spent two and a half hours collecting samples, taking pictures, and exploring the surface of the moon. After they got their samples, they placed a three by five feet American flag on the moon, a plaque that said, 'Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon. July 20, 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.' They landed off the shores of Hawaii on July 24, 1969. Apollo 11 landing on the moon exchanged new scientific and technological information in history, encountered a new region to discover, and started more explorations in space. According to the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Apollo 11 brought back the first geological substances back from the moon. One of the substances was one-hundred and ninety-three grams of basalt. Basalt are hardened rocks from molten lava. These rocks are commonly found in Hawaii. Basalt has a dark gray color, so when the moon is looked at, the darker areas are basalt. These minerals are very similar to the ones on Earth, except for the extra titanium. These basalts from the Apollo 11 landing site are from a range of 3.6 to 3.9 million years old and come from at least two differently chemically magma sources.
The other substance was two-hundred and thirteen grams of breccia. Breccia are just

After the Apollo 1 fire, a tragedy that killed three astronauts in 1967, NASA changed its thinking about space capsule design and safety forever. Spaceflight, launched on April 11, 1970, that suffered an oxygen tank explosion en route to the Moon, threatening the lives of three astronauts—commander Jim Lovell, lunar module pilot Fred Haise, and command module pilot Jack Swigert—who ultimately saved themselves. In April 1970, NASA launched three Apollo 13 astronauts to land on the moon. But disaster struck on the way there, and the landing was scrapped. See photos of Apollo 13's epic survival mission here. 'Apollo was a proof that the United States was a leader in technology in space. That was the big gain.' Schuessler says NASA simply did not have the time or funds to fit in more moon landings. Also on this day, Michalis Kapsis is born in Piraeus, outside Athens. The son of star soccer player Anthimos Kapsis, the centreback helped AEK Athens with the Greek Cup in 2000 and 2002, and Athens-based Olympiacos win both that and the Superleague Greece for a 'Double' in 2006. He then helped APOEL win Cyprus' league in 2007 and its Cup in 2008.
