The astronaut stepped onto the Moon's surface, in the Sea of Tranquility, at 0256 GMT, nearly 20 minutes after first opening the hatch on the Eagle landing craft. Armstrong had earlier reported the lunar module's safe landing at 2017 GMT with the words: "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed. " As he put his left foot down first Armstrong declared: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
" He described the surface as being like powdered charcoal and the landing craft left a crater about a foot deep. 'We came in peace' The historic moments were captured on television cameras installed on the Eagle and turned on by Armstrong. Armstrong spent his first few minutes on the Moon taking photographs and soil samples in case the mission had to be aborted suddenly. Many other nations - including the UK - sent messages of congratulation. Ben Hill Parody: Avant Garde Cinema. Mount St. Helens 1980 » by andrew » SCIENCE » PHREADZ.
