  • Apollo 11 Moon Landing: Launch Time & Mission Timeline
    Neil Armstrong didn't fly to the moon at a specific time. He launched on a specific date and time, but the trip to the moon itself was a multi-day journey.

    Here's the breakdown:

    * Launch Date and Time: July 16, 1969, at 9:32 AM EDT

    * Landing on the Moon: July 20, 1969, at 4:17 PM EDT

    * Return to Earth: July 24, 1969, at 12:56 PM EDT

    So, while the journey began on July 16, 1969, at 9:32 AM EDT, it wasn't a single "flight" to the moon in the sense of a quick trip. It was a multi-day mission with several phases.
