| Summary: | IT was a day to be remembered, July 21, 1969, the day man first set foot on the moon.
At precisely 2017 GMT, on July 20, the lunar module, named The Eagle descended on the Sea of Tranquility. At
0256 GMT the next day, astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped out of the lunar module and uttered the immortal
