Buzz Aldrin was the second man to set foot on the Moon. In February 2016 Aldrin came to the Science Museum in London to tell the story of the historic mission in his own words.

On 16 July 1969, Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy on its way to becoming the first manned spacecraft to land on the moon. Aboard were Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin - the three brave men who made the historic journey. On 20 July, Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the Moon and Aldrin joined him on the lunar surface soon after. The Moon walk lasted nearly two-and-a-half hours while the pair collected lunar samples and conducted experiments.

Apollo-programmet var samlebetegnelsen på en rekke bemannede romferder som den amerikanske romfartsorganisasjonen NASA gjennomførte fra 1967 til 1972. Målet med programmet var å sende en mann til månen og bringe ham trygt tilbake til Jorden. Det lyktes gjennom ferden med Apollo 11.
