July 20th, 1969. After landing on the moon, Neil Armstrong became the first man in history to walk on a landmass that wasn't located on Earth. He walked on the moon and WCCO provided wall-to-wall coverage of "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Another of WCCO's 100 Moments in 100 Years!
