hi
this is alekhya
some of the results are saying that
armstrong is not the first person on moon
the video they showed was proved to be wrong
is this true?
can you provide any information about this concept please
Armstrong and Aldrin ,both got on to the moon for the first time.
but it was Armstong who established their national flag on the moon
