Mother and her daughter watching a live television broadcast of an astronaut next to a US flag and the lunar lander during the historic first moon landing on 21 July 1969. This broadcast was watched by an estimated 600 million worldwide. The astronauts were Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. The latter planted the flag and the former mounted the lander's TV camera on a tripod to obtain this view. The moonwalk lasted 2.5 hours. Armstrong and Aldrin later ascended to lunar orbit and returned safely to Earth. The lander remained on the Moon, with a plaque stating that they 'came in peace for all mankind'.
