  4. “The Eagle Has Landed” • After describing the surface dust as "very fine-grained" and "almost like a powder",Armstrong stepped off Eagle's footpad and uttered his famous line "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind" six and a half hours after landing. Aldrin joined him, describing the view as "Magnificent desolation."
