All of them work.
Here's another to add to your repertoire: Llega el primer hombre a la luna en 1969. Other English sentences might be: The first man steps foot on the moon in 1969. The first man to walk on the moon ... The first man on the moon ... Translations of these might be: El primer hombre pisa la luna ... El primer hombre en pisar la luna ... El primer hombre en la luna ...

Unnecessary punctuation was suggested. They are not wrong.
As I mentioned before, they work. What I didn't say, but hinted, is that some of them don't sound natural. Even the English sentence doesn't sound natural. That's why I suggested other renditions.
