Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong traveled on what first mission to the Moon?

• A. Saturn V
• B. Luna 2
• C. Apollo 11
• D. Apollo 8

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is knowing which mission achieved the first crewed landing on the Moon. Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were part of the mission that successfully landed on the lunar surface and marked humanity’s first Moonwalk, with Armstrong stepping onto the Moon and Aldrin joining him. That mission is Apollo 11, which launched on a Saturn V rocket and touched down in July 1969 while Michael Collins stayed in orbit around the Moon. Luna 2 was a Soviet probe that reached the Moon without any astronauts, and Apollo 8 was the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon but did not land. So the best answer is Apollo 11.
