On 20 July 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the Moon and Neil Armstrong became, as far as the majority of humanity was aware, the first man to walk on the Moon. (TV: Day of the Moon, PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)
The Eleventh Doctor interfered with the transmission of the Moon landing with the help of the former FBI agent Canton Delaware. At the crucial moment that Armstrong set foot on the Moon, they inserted footage of a Silent ordering for its kind to be killed on sight. (TV: Day of the Moon)
Amongst the other notable things that occurred on this day were:
- 1966 - The First Doctor and Dodo Chaplet arrived in London and battled the War Machines. (TV: The War Machines, PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy) The same day, the Second Doctor arrived with Ben Jackson, Polly Wright, and Jamie McCrimmon. (TV: The Faceless Ones)
