1969 Chicago Tribune with the headline “Americans on Moon! Eagle Has Landed - Armstrong." The article was commemorating the moon landing from the day before and is dated Monday, July 21, 1969. Boldly signed by Neil Armstrong in blue ink to the left of the headline. Triple matted and framed. In very good condition with wear at folds. The remainder of the newspaper and continuation of the article is housed in a pocket on the back of the frame. The entire piece measures 21.75 inches by 30.75 inches.
Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC, and Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface six hours and 39 minutes later. Aldrin joined him 19 minutes later, and they spent roughly two hours together exploring the site they had named Tranquility Base upon landing. Armstrong's first step onto the lunar surface was broadcast on live TV to a worldwide audience. He described the event as "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Apollo 11 effectively proved US victory in the Space Race to demonstrate spaceflight superiority, by fulfilling a national goal proposed in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, "before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth."
