TODAY MARKS 55 years since astronaut Neil Armstrong emerged from Apollo 11′s lunar module The Eagle, set foot on the moon, and uttered his famous line: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”.
On 20 July, 1969, Armstrong became the first man on the moon, quickly followed by his fellow astronaut Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin.
It was the culmination of the so-called ‘Space Race’ during the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union, as both sides competed to prove that they were technologically superior.
So: how much do you know about the first moon landing?
