Apollo 11 - First Steps at Tranquility Base

Neil Armstrong becomes the first man to step on the lunar surface on July 21st at 02:56 UTC

 "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."


Buzz Aldrin descends from the Eagle at Tranquility Base in the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon.

The farthest distance traveled from the LM by Neil Armstrong, about 300 feet.

Apparently Armstrong was quite the camera hog, basically because he was in charge of the camera. This is probably the best shot of Armstrong taken by Aldrin.
