Apollo 11 - 40th Anniversary

Man walks on the moon for the first time July, 1969 as U.S. Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong steps out of the lunar module from Apollo 11 and is joined by his companion Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr.

Armstrong is watched by much of the world, but millions of Americans believed the moon walk was staged in a studio to divert attention from the Vietnam War and many millions more demanded that money and technology be applied to more socially productive purposes.
