July 20, 1969 - Man Walks on Moon
At 10:56 p.m. EDT, American astronaut Neil Armstrong, 240,000 miles from Earth, speaks these words to more than a billion people listening at home: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Stepping off the lunar landing module Eagle, Armstrong became the first human to walk on the surface of the moon.
Fun fact: Armstrong actually intended on saying "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." However, he accidentally dropped the "a", making his phrase a contradiction, as "man" is synonymous with "mankind."

Man on the Moon. They were talking that this was a bluff and that the US only did it to impress the russians.
