See Armstrong On Luna.
I forgot three important "first man on the moon" works. Fortunately, however, the blogging medium allows time for second and third thoughts.
(i) ERB's The Moon Maid is:
a "first men on the moon" story;
a sequel to his Martian series;
Volume I of a future historical trilogy.
(ii) Larry Niven's "Wrong Way Street" (and here) combines time travel with "first man on the moon";
(iii) in Poul Anderson's Operation Luna, Valeria Matuchek becomes the first human being on the Moon in her timeline.
Thus, "first man on the moon" interacts with:
future history;
alternative history;
time travel;
other interplanetary travel;
fantasy.
The sky is not the limit.

Kaor, Paul!
Drat! I don't think I ever read Burroughs' THE MOON MAID.
Darn, I forgot about Valeria Matuchek being the first human being on the Moon in OPERATION LUNA.
And I'm almost sure I never read this Larry Niven story.
