<P> The trip to the Moon took just over three days . After achieving orbit, Armstrong and Aldrin transferred into the Lunar Module, named Eagle, and after a landing gear inspection by Collins remaining in the Command / Service Module Columbia, began their descent . After overcoming several computer overload alarms caused by an antenna switch left in the wrong position, and a slight downrange error, Armstrong took over manual flight control at about 180 meters (590 ft), and guided the Lunar Module to a safe landing spot at 20: 18: 04 UTC, July 20, 1969 (3: 17: 04 pm CDT). The first humans on the Moon waited six hours before they left their craft . At 02: 56 UTC, July 21 (9: 56 pm CDT July 20), Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the Moon . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Neil Armstrong's historic first words on the Moon .
