Apollo 11 (Part 2)

 

 

Armstrong Climbs down the ladder, as he travels down to the foot of the landing leg he says the iconic words.

"It's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."

 

 

After Neil and Aldrin spent around 1 hour setting up the science expirements,

they would go on a 5 hour spacewalk exploring the land around their landing site.

 

 

 

 

After they concluded their spacewalk they would return to Eagle and sleep until they are woken up to rendezvous with Columbia.
