As Mike Collins himself said, after the Apollo 11 success, he was touched
by the number of people he met around the world that said "we did it"
rather than see it as a purely American success. So in that sense, it very
much was perceived as a triumph for humanity.

Thanks Gary, that pretty much sums it up.

Here are the contents of one of the Exhibit Display Cases from the NASA Exhibition running in Brisbane right now.

Note the Slide Rule...who would know what one of these is today.

Also note the "advanced computer technology" of that era as described on the associated display placard ...

Cheers
