Who was the first person to walk on the moon?
The first person to walk on the moon was Neil Armstrong. He made history on July 21, 1969, by becoming the first person to walk on the moon. He stepped out of the Apollo 11 lunar module onto the Moon's surface in the 'Sea of Tranquility.' Armstrong's famous words, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," captured the significance of the moment. Joined by Buzz Aldrin, the lunar module pilot, they collected data and soil samples, planted the US flag, and unveiled a plaque with President Nixon's signature.
