The first astronauts to travel to the Moon were the crew of Apollo 8 in December, 1968. They orbited the Moon and returned to Earth, providing data for the later landing missions. The flight included Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders.

The first astronauts to land and walk on the Moon were Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. Along with command module pilot Michael Collins, they traveled to the Moon on the Apollo 11 mission in July, 1969. They were the first humans to set foot on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969. Ten other astronauts eventually walked on the Moon between 1969 and 1972.
