The First Man on the Moon

Shortly after 7.0 this morning astronaut Neil Armstrong should set foot on the moon. As he goes down the steps Armstrong will switch on the black and white television camera to beam live pictures back to earth. That transmission should also cover the moment when Edwin Aldrin joins Armstrong on the surface and continue throughout the two hours and forty mins. of the Moon Walk.

Before that more live pictures are expected from the Command Module as Michael Collins looks towards the moon and the landing ground from sixty miles up.
