History was made 49 years ago #today when the first humans set foot on the Moon during Apollo 11. Watched live on television by a worldwide audience, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went where no one had gone before. #NASA60th."More than a billion people were watching, according to NASA, as two men went where no one had ever been able to explore. The Apollo 11 spacecraft consisted of the command module, Columbia, and the lunar module, Eagle. The crew traveled 240,000 miles from the Earth to the moon in 76 hours, reported CNN.
