00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.760
television viewers worldwide. The launch was the culmination of the

31
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.959
decade long effort to fulfill President Kennedy's goal of landing

32
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.479

successfully landed in the Sea of Tranquility on July twentieth,

37
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:28.319

upon touchdown, confirming the successful lunar landing. Question four. Which

39
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:38.280
astronaut remained in orbit? Answer Michael Collins. While Armstrong and

40
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.960
Aldrin descended to the lunar's surface, Collins orbited the Moon

Answer, that's one small step for man, one giant leap

for mankind. Neil Armstrong spoke these historic words as he

47
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.879
became the first human to step onto the lunar surface

48
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:10.280
on July twentieth, nineteen sixty nine. Armstrong later claimed he

49
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.319

50
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:18.159
not spoken or not transmitted clearly. That concludes today's five
