Apollo 11 had two parts, Columbia that would stay in the moon's orbit, and the Eagle that would land on the moon (that's why there's an Eagle on the mission badge.) The Columbia (CSM-107) and the Eagle (LM-5) would go to the moon and the Eagle that was carrying Neil Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin parted and landed on the moon while Columbia that was carrying Micheal Collins, stayed in orbit.
On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy, and on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong was officially the first man on the moon and said, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
Armstrong and Aldrin stayed on the moon for 21 hours and 36 minuets, and while Armstrong and Aldrin, they were able to communicate with President Richard M. Nixon, and they posted a U.S. flag on the moon. Armstrong and Aldrin soon returned to the Eagle, and went up to dock on to the Columbia and returned to Earth. On July 24, 1969, Apollo 11 and its crew returned safely in the Pacific Ocean and were recovered by the USS Hornet.
