Thanks Rusty. I got the times for the launch and landing, down to the second,The Wiki online encyclopedia has those times listed in UTC. It should be easy to convert those times to your local time zone.

although I presume the launch had to be precise and that it probably did lift-off
precisely at 9:32:00 EST. For the first steps, it mentioned the time as 2:56 UTC,
10:56 EST. Does it mentioned anywhere what second? I looked and it doesn’t
say, and I am assuming that it is probably written in the public record somewhere
the precise second. I’m just curious. I’m a real stickler when it comes to precise
time in events like this.

A little follow up. I found another section at the website you mentioned
about times. I found the section on spacewalks/moonwalks, and it lists the
time of the first moonwalk at 02:39:33 UTC. That would make it then 10:39:33 EDT.
I know that the first step was at 10:56 EST. Is the figure wrong, or is this the time
that Armstrong stepped out onto the LM hatch?
