Apollo 11 - Man First Sets Foot on the Moon - July 20, 1969 (EVA Pt. 1)

This clip featuring the first ten minutes of the Apollo 11 lunar EVA is posted in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the first manned expedition to the surface of the Moon. Included in this clip is Neil Armstrong descending the ladder of the Lunar Module, then setting foot on the Moon.

This video clip is mastered from the only known copy of the original video feed from Honeysuckle Creek, NASA's main tracking station in Australia for all the manned Apollo missions. Although murky by today's standards, this is a clearer image than what the world saw live for the first several minutes of the EVA, which was being fed from the Goldstone dish in California.
