They Landed On The Moon
Finally, they landed the lunar module on the surface. “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed,” Armstrong said in his famous message. The original flight plan called for a rest break of four hours before they got ready to leave the capsule. Once Armstrong and Aldrin reached the surface of the moon, they had to immediately prepare to emerge from it.

It took them almost four hours to prepare to emerge from Eagle. At long last, Armstrong walked out onto the terrain of the Sea of Tranquility a little less than 110 hours after they launched the spacecraft. He sent another message that went on to be a central part of this historic event: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” It had been so intense that he left out the “a” he planned to say.
