I’m going to try to answer this one without googling it as I know you could do that if you wanted….
If you mean ON the moon then I know that would be Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11 in 1969… but I think there was at least one space trip that went to the moon before this but never landed.

As Neil Armstrong would say “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” 20th July 1969 I believe was the exact date. However you could argue that the first man who stepped on the moon was the cameraman. Also there are a few things which do not add up with the alleged landing. One being no human would have survived the sheer radiation from the electromagnetic belt around earth, the electronics would have definitely not survived and nor would the camera. I think there are a lot of people who think that it is a hoax for example in all the pictures, no stars were visible. I will let you make up your mind on the event.

Neil Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the moon, on the 20th July 1969. Poor Buzz Aldrin, he was the second man on the moon, and gets none of the credit! Also, Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth for 92 minutes in 1961, but noone seems to remember him.

yes, but who was the first dog in space? …although unfortunately she didn’t last too long and certainly never stepped on the moon….

Hi Chanelle1996
No point in me repeating everyone else’s answers re Neil Armstrong. Craig makes an interesting point though. I think the first dog in space was called Laika. Sent up there by the Russians in the 1950s.
