It was on July 20, 1969, at 10:56 PM ET, when Apollo 11 astronaut Neil
Armstrong stepped off the "Eagle" onto Moon's surface. One billion people
worldwide have then watched him on TV.
There he pronounced the memorably sentence "That's one small step for man,
one giant leap for mankind."
The great event was commemorated on stamps by many countries.
USPS issued a stamp on Sept. 9, 1969. See the second stamps on the nice
page:
