The astronauts became the first humans to walk on a celestial body other than Earth.Fallout 3 message box transcriptions; Virgo II Lunar Lander: "On July 16, 1969, the Virgo II Lunar Lander "Valiant 11" became the very first manned space vehicle to touch down on the moon. The Valiant 11's crew consisted of Captain Richard Wade, Captain Mark Garris and Captain Michael Hagen of the USSA. We salute these brave and noble men who took the very first steps on a planetary body other than our own." The lander later ended up on display in the Museum of Technology in Washington, D.C.
