His left
gotta be the right one....

just as a matter of interest, i think his moon boots were jetesoned into space during the journey home !!!!!
:-(
I thought from the footage that he sort of jumped down.

Or for the sceptics, neither.
he did jump down from the last step, but i think his right foot touched down first.
I'm with warpig, I'm sure I remember that on the footage he jumped down the last few steps from the ladder, so he put both feet down together??
I looked it up on Wikipedia - it is his left - there is a picture of him stepping down here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Apollo_11_f irst_step.jpg
It was his left foot.
Why does it matter?
just done a bit or research.... Armstrong felt the surface of the moon with the toe of his boot BEFORE he stepped down for his "one small step".....
Has there been other moon landings since then.
yes there has... i dont know how many, but i think 13 people have set foot on the moons surface...
feel free to correct me on that, its a number i have in my mind, so could be way off the mark !
There have been 6 landings Apollos 11 12 14 15 16 and 17 - The last landing was on 15th December 1972. The whole lunar landing programme only lasted 3 and a half years. There is a planned NASA lunar landing in 2018 or 2019.
Why the long wait? Is it becasue there is more important things to spend billions on like weapons of mass destruction???!!!
It's quit a big jump down from the last step of the Lunar Lander to the surface.

Pete Conrad was the third man on the moon on Apollo 12.

His first words were "Man, that may have been a small one for Neil but that's a long one for me!"
funky moped is almost right .. twelve men have walked on the moon.
has he actually been on the moon,or was it all staged so the Americans could say they were the first on the moon
