<p>Mission commander Neil Armstrong, the first man to step on to the moon on July 20, 1969, died seven years ago.</p>
<p>Command module pilot Michael Collins did not attend the Florida celebration.</p>
<p>Mr Pence said Apollo 11 was the only event of the 20th century that “stands a chance of being widely remembered in the 30th century”.</p>
<p>He reiterated the Trump administration’s push to put Americans back on the moon by 2024.</p>
