The Three Musketeers
Armstrong embraced the monumental opportunity without a doubt. Two esteemed companions, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, joined him on this historic voyage. As destiny would have it, Armstrong and Aldrin would ultimately etch their names into the annals of history as they executed a flawless lunar landing.
While Collins circled above in the spacecraft that would eventually bring them all back to Earth. Perhaps it was Armstrong’s unshakable track record that swayed NASA’s decision, for he was chosen to claim the title of the first human to set foot on the lunar surface, an indelible moment that would define an era of exploration.
