The camera, mounted outside the module, broadcast the cosmonauts' output to the surface of the Moon. Astronauts collected the necessary amount of materials, placed instruments and installed a television camera. After that they in the field of view of the camera installed an American flag (as is known, the US Congress rejected the proposal of NASA to set the UN flag on the Moon) and held a communication session with President Nixon.
Astronauts left a memorable sign on the satellite with the words: "Here, people from the planet Earth first stepped on the moon. July 1969 a new era. We came with peace on behalf of all of humanity. "
Aldrin stayed on the moon for about an hour and a half, Armstrong - more than two hours.
22 hours after the landing, the flying module started from the surface of the natural satellite of our planet and returned safely to Earth.
After quarantine and vacation on August 13, 1969, astronauts were solemnly greeted in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
