Fact-check: “The moon landing happened in 1969.”
Verdict: True (100% confidence)
Multiple independent primary sources — NASA mission records, the U.S. National Archives, and contemporaneous official documentation — all confirm that Apollo 11's lunar module Eagle landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the lunar surface on July 20–21, 1969 (depending on time zone). No credible primary source contradicts this.
