Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon in 1969. Specifically, his first step occurred on July 20, 1969 (UTC this is listed as July 21, 1969 in some time references due to time zones).
Key context:
- Apollo 11 mission: launched July 16, 1969, landed on the Moon July 20, 1969, with Armstrong first stepping onto the surface shortly thereafter.[3][5]
- Armstrong’s famous line, often cited as “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind,” was spoken during that first Moon walk.[7][3]
If you’d like, I can pull up a concise timeline or a chart of the Apollo 11 milestones with exact timestamps.[5][3][7]
