"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed!" With those words, a collective dream of humankind came true. This ABC News program anchored by Peter Jennings observes the first landing on the lunar surface from the perspective of the visionary technicians, scientists, and researchers who, in control rooms and laboratories, made it possible for Neil Armstrong to take his "one small step." Their exploits have paved the way for eventual landings in the 21st century—on Mars. (42 minutes)
