The Hubble Space Telescope is a space observatory, not a spacecraft designed to carry people. It is operated remotely from Earth and was specifically built for a single purpose: astronomical observations.
Approximately 400,000 people were employed at NASA to support the successful launch of Apollo 11, including engineers, scientists, technicians, and support staff. This massive effort involved collaboration between NASA, contractors, and various organizations to achieve the historic moon landing mission.
There is still several folks alive that were born in 1899. In fact, there is a man born in 1897. His name is Jiroemon Kimura ofKyoto Japan. He is currently the oldest person in the world alive and was born on April 19, 1897 (the oldest woman is 115-year old Misawo Okawa, born March 5, 1898). The population of people born in the 1800s is dwindling and in the next 2-5 years, we might not have anyone on earth born in the then. When 2010 came, everyone born before 1900 became a super-centenarian (110 years or older). As of April 3, 2013, there are 10 people verified alive that were born in that era.
Namibia, Africa. For those that are unsure of what the Apollo 11 Cave is, it is the spot where Africa's oldest known paintings were excavated. They were found in 1969, the year the Apollo 11 crew landed on the moon for the first time, hence the name.
Yes, there are poems written about the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first humans on the moon in 1969.

The Apollo 11 mission's lunar module landed on the Moon's surface on July 20, 1969.
Uptil this day only two astronauts have landed on the moon, and never three .
Apollo 11 navigated using a combination of methods. Primarily, it relied on a radio signal between Earth and the spacecraft for real-time navigation data. Additionally, the crew had a backup method that used a sextant and a guidance computer. They took measurements of the angle between Earth's horizon (or the Moon's) and a chosen star. This information allowed the computer to determine their state vector, which is essential for accurately navigating to the right place around the lunar far side from where they could enter lunar orbit.
It was a 'live' TV programme.
I watched it all at 4;00 in the morning. in Great Britain.
The recovery ship was the second USS Hornet (CV-12), a World War II aircraft carrier, which is now a museum ship at Naval Air Station Alameda in Alameda, CA. On the return from their historic first walk on the Moon, Apollo 11 splashed down on July 24, 1969, south of Johnson Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, about 15 miles (24 km) from the USS Hornet.
