The Apollo 11 spacecraft was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The spacecraft consisted of a command module, a service module, and a lunar module.

The command module was the living quarters for the astronauts. It was also the control center for the spacecraft. The service module provided power and propulsion for the spacecraft. The lunar module was the vehicle that would land on the moon.

After a four-day journey, the Apollo 11 spacecraft entered orbit around the moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin then boarded the lunar module, Eagle.

Eagle landed on the moon on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin then became the first humans to walk on the moon.

Neil Armstrong spent two and a half hours outside the lunar module. He collected samples of moon rocks and took photographs. He also planted an American flag on the moon.

After completing their mission on the moon, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin returned to the lunar module. They then lifted off from the moon and returned to the command module.

The Apollo 11 spacecraft then began its journey back to Earth. The spacecraft landed in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969.

Neil Armstrong and his crew were greeted as heroes when they returned to Earth. They had accomplished something that had never been done before. They had landed humans on the moon.
