On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first cosmonauts to land on the moon. 40 years since man landing on earths natural satellite.

TRIVIA:-
Neil Armstrong placed his left foot on the surface of moon at 2:56 UTC July 21, 1969, then spoke the following " That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind. " Armstrong accidentally dropped the "a", from his remark, rendering the phrase a contradiction (as man in such use is synonymous with mankind). Armstrong later said he "would hope that history would grant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand that it was certainly intended, even if it was not said – although it might actually have been."
