}}

'''Neil Armstrong''' was an [[United States of America|American]] [[astronaut]] and a member of the ''[[Apollo 11]]'' mission. As far as the majority of [[human]]ity was aware, he was the first man to walk on [[the Moon]] on [[20 July]] [[1969]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Moon (TV story)|Day of the Moon]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'')

It was not generally known that dozens of people had set foot on the Moon prior to Armstrong as the [[United States government]] had built a [[Moonbase (1963: The Space Race)|moonbase]] on the far side of the Moon in the [[1960s]] using alien technology. It was destroyed by the [[Sixth Doctor]] on [[23 November]] [[1963]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[1963: The Space Race (audio story)|1963: The Space Race]]''), but by 1969 both the Americans and the Russians had moon bases once more ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Moon Blink (novel)|Moon Blink]]''. Furthermore, the Sixth Doctor and [[Peri Brown]] visited [[Mare Nectaris]] on the Moon in [[1872]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The First Sontarans (audio story)|The First Sontarans]]'') [[Iris Wildthyme]] also claimed to have visited the Moon before, and that she gave Neil and Buzz a fright when she drove up out of a crater flashing her [[Celestial Omnibus|TARDIS]]' headlights.
