  • Apollo 11 Lunar Module: The Story Behind the 'Eagle' Nickname
    The "eagle" in Apollo 11 wasn't an actual eagle, but rather the lunar module, the spacecraft that carried astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the surface of the moon.

    The lunar module was nicknamed "Eagle" by NASA. The name was chosen because it was a strong, majestic bird known for its ability to land precisely.
