First man to reach the moon

Question

First man to reach the moon

Answer 1

That depends on your question.  The Apollo 8 astronauts (Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders) were the first to circumnavigate the moon on December 24, 1968. The first men to land on the moon itself were Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin aboard Apollo 11 at 4:17pm CDT on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong was the first person to actually set foot on the lunar surface later that evening, followed by Aldrin some 20 minutes later.  

Answer 2

Neil Alden Armstrong (born August 5, 1930) is a former American astronaut, test pilot, university professor, and United States Naval Aviator. He is the first person to set foot on the Moon. His first spaceflight was aboard Gemini 8 in 1966, for which he was the command pilot. On this mission, he performed the first manned docking of two spacecraft together with pilot David Scott. Armstrong's second and last spaceflight was as mission commander of the Apollo 11 moon landing mission on July 20, 1969. On this mission, Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface and spent 2.5 hours exploring while Michael Collins remained in orbit in the Command Module. Armstrong is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.

Before becoming an astronaut, Armstrong was in the United States Navy and saw action in the Korean War. After the war, he served as a test pilot at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) High-Speed Flight Station, now known as the Dryden Flight Research Center, where he flew over 900 flights in a variety of aircraft. As a research pilot, Armstrong served as project pilot on the F-100 Super Sabre A and C aircraft, F-101 Voodoo, and the Lockheed F-104A Starfighter. He also flew the Bell X-1B, Bell X-5, North American X-15, F-105 Thunderchief, F-106 Delta Dart, B-47 Stratojet, KC-135 Stratotanker and Paresev. He graduated from Purdue University.

Answer 3

The first man to *reach* the moon but not land on it is not just one person... but rather the crew of Apollo 10 though they didn't land. (Thomas P. Stafford, John W. Young, Eugene A. Cernan)

The first man to walk on the moon was of course Neil Armstrong of Apollo 11.
