First+Man+on+the+Moon

In July of 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first two men to step foot on the moon. Armstrong's name has carried out throughout time as being the first, but he only beat Aldrin by a couple minutes. Because of this Aldrin has had to deal with many mental problems of trying to deal with being "number two." The space mission was Apollo 11, thier mission, step foot on the moon, mainly to show how America was the largest world power and had the technological abilites to get a man on the moon before anyone else, most notably the Soviet Union. Many people at the time in the US thought the mission was just a hoax to appear stronger at the Soviet Union, but as we've learned through time it was no hoax.
