It's amazing to think that during the Apollo program, humans have actually visited the Moon. So, how many people have walked on the Moon?

Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, was my schooldays hero. I remember that I had pasted many of his photographs in my notebook, which were published in newspapers and magazines. As a collector of postal stamps, I always searched for stamps portraying this great astronaut, as well as stamps related to Apollo 11 Mission. I also remember

Eight years after Russian Yuri Gagarin exited the atmosphere in a space capsule and circled the earth, the United States made history by landing men on the moon. The historic day was July 21, 1969 and Apollo 11 touched down on the lunar surface and Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Before the Apollo space program ended there would be 38 astronauts participating and of those 38 only twelve would actually put their feet on the moon.

To mark the anniversary, a look at the iconic picture of NASA astronaut John Young saluting the flag on lunar surface.
