The American Apollo spacecraft was the first to successfully land humans on the moon. The crew consisted of Commander NA Armstrong, Command Module (Columbia) Pilot Lt. Col. M. Collins, and Lunar Module (Eagle) Pilot Lt. Col. E. Aldrin. The Apollo was launched from the Kennedy Space Center on July 16, 1969, at 9:32 a.m., aboard an American Saturn V rocket, and landed softly on the moon at 4:17:39 p.m. on the 20th, about 10 km southwest of the Sabinlo Crater in the Sea of Tranquility. Captain Armstrong took his first steps on the moon at 10:56:19 a.m. on the same day. Aldrin followed suit. The two set up a metal plate inscribed with the words, "Humans from planet Earth, hereby mark the first step on the moon's surface. In July 1969, we arrived safely as representatives of the human race," as well as a seismometer, a solar wind measuring device, and a laser beam reflector. The spacecraft stayed on the moon for 21 hours and 36 minutes, including 2 hours and 32 minutes of surface activity. It collected 22 kg of rocks, left the moon at 1:54 PM on the 21st, docked with the mother ship, and left lunar orbit at 12:55 AM on the 22nd, heading for Earth. It then discarded the service module and re-entered the atmosphere with only the command module. It landed safely in the Pacific Ocean, southwest of Hawaii, at 12:51 PM on July 24.
