What were the dates of all moon landings?

Manned: Six manned spacecraft have successfully landed on the moon. All six spacecraft were part of the Apollo space programme. The first moon landing (Apollo 11) was on Ju…ly 20 1969. Apollo 11's crew was Neil Armstrong (Commander), Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin (Lunar Module pilot), and Michael Collins (Command Module pilot). The second moon landing (Apollo 12) was on November 19 1969. Apollo 12's crew was Charles Conrad, Jr. (Commander), Richard Gordon, Jr. (Command Module pilot), and Alan LaVerne Bean (Lunar Module pilot). The third moon landing (Apollo 14) was on 5 February 1971. Alan Shepard, America's first man into space, commanded Apollo 14. His crew consisted of Stuart Roosa (Command Module pilot) and Edgar Mitchell (Lunar Module Pilot). The fourth moon landing (Apollo 15) was on July 30 1971, and the astronauts explored the surface riding in the first lunar rover. Apollo 15's crew was David Scott (Commander), James Irwin (Lunar Module pilot), and Alfred Worden (Command Module Pilot). The fifth moon landing (Apollo 16) was on April 20, 1972. Apollo 16's crew was John Young (Commander), Charles Duke, Jr. (Lunar Module pilot), and Thomas Mattingly (Command Module pilot). The sixth and final moon landing (Apollo 17) was on 11 December, 1972. Apollo 17's crew was Eugene Cernan (Commander), Ronald Evans (Command Module Pilot), and Dr Harrison Schmitt (Lunar Module Pilot) Unmanned: The first spacecraft to impact the moon's surface was the U.S.S.R.'s Luna 2. The spacecraft impacted the moon on September 14, 1959 and was destroyed on impact. The first US spacecraft to reach the moon's surface was the Ranger 4. This spacecraft impacted the moon's surface (and like Luna 2 was destroyed in the process) on April 26, 1962. The first spacecraft to achieve a lunar soft landing and to transmit photographic data to Earth was the Soviet spacecraft Luna 9. This spacecraft landed on the moon in the Ocean of Storms on February 3, 1966. The second spacecraft to achieve lunar soft landing was the American spacecraft Surveyor 1. This spacecraft landed on the moon on June 2, 1966. The first unmanned spacecraft to land on the moon and return to earth was the Soviet spacecraft Luna 16. This spacecraft landed on the moon on September 20, 1970. The first spacecraft to land on the moon and deploy a lunar roving vehicle was the Soviet spacecraft Lunar 17. Lunar 17 landed on the moon in November 1970 (~November 15) and deployed the lunar vehicle Lunokhod 1. Lunokhod 1 remained operational for 11 lunar days and travelled approximately 10.5 km on the moon's surface. The first spacecraft to land on the moon and be retrieved by a subsequent mission was the American spacecraft Surveyor 3. Surveyor 3 landed on the moon on April 20, 1967, and parts of it were retrieved by Apollo 12 in November 1969. (MORE)

Was there a full moon when man landed on the moon?

No. When there is a full Moon, the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth to the Sun, and the Sun's rays reflect off the moon and back to Earth. So we have SUN >>> EARTH … (MORE)

How many moon landings have been to the moon and who were they?

There have been six successful manned lunar landings and twelve people who have walked on the moon. 1) Apollo 11 Neil Armstrong CDR (Commander), Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin LMP (Luna…r Module Pilot) 2) Apollo 12 Pete Conrad CDR, Al Bean LMP 3) Apollo 14 Alan Shepard CDR, Edgar Mitchell LMP. Al Shepard was the first American in space, on the Freedom 7 Mercury mission, and was the only one of the "Original Seven" American astronauts to land on the moon. 4) Apollo 15 Dave Scott CDR, Al Worden LMP Apollo 15 was the first mission to use the Lunar Rover 5) Apollo 16 John Young CDR, Charlie Duke LMP Apollo 16 was John Young's second voyage to the moon (previously on the Apollo 10 'practice' mission) 6) Apollo 17 Eugene Cernan CDR, Harrison (Jack) Schmidt LMP Apollo 16 was Gene Cernan's second voyage to the moon (previously on the Apollo 10 'practice' mission) Three additional Apollo missions traveled to the moon but did not land. Apollo 8 Frank Borman CDR, Jim Lovell CMP, Bill Anders LMP. Apollo 8 was the first manned mission to the moon. It went without a Lunar Module to prove the trip, and lunar orbit, was possible, and to photograph possible future landing sites. The crew were the first humans to witness 'earth rise' from the moon. Apollo 10 Tom Stafford CDR, John Young CMP, Eugene Cernan LMP Apollo 10 was the second manned mission to the moon and the first to carry a Lunar Module. It was the final practice mission prior to the Apollo 11 landing, and was used to prove the Lunar Module would work as planned by flying it to within a few miles of the lunar surface before rendezvous back with the Command Module. John Young returned to the moon, and landed, as CDR on Apollo 16. Gene Cernan returned to the moon, and landed, as CDR on Apollo 17. Apollo 13 Jim Lovell CDR, Jack Swigert LMP, Fred Haise LMP Apollo 13 was meant to be the third lunar landing mission (after 11 and 12), but due to the explosion of an oxygen tank that caused extensive damage the mission was aborted and the crew circled the moon and returned to earth (barely). The harrowing experience is documented in the Ron Howard movie, Apollo 13, starring Tom Hanks. The mission was the second time to the moon for Jim Lovell (previously on Apollo 8), and he has the distinction of being one of three men to journey twice to the moon, but the only one of the three not to walk on its surface. SUMMARY Nine manned missions have traveled to the moon (six landed) Apollo 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 24 men have traveled to the moon (12 landed) Buzz Aldrin, Bill Anders, Neil Armstrong, Al Bean, Frank Borman, Gene Cernan (2X), Mike Collins, Pete Conrad, Charlie Duke, Ron Evans, Dick Gordon, Fred Haise, Jim Irwin, Jim Lovell (2X), Ken Mattingly, Ed Mitchell, Stu Roosa, Jack Schmidt, Dave Scott, Al Shepard, Tom Stafford, Jack Swigert, Al Worden, John Young (2X). Six manned missions have landed on the moon Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17 12 men have walked on the moon Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, Al Bean, Gene Cernan, Pete Conrad, Charlie Duke, Ed Mitchell, Jack Schmidt, Dave Scott, Al Shepard, Al Worden, John Young. 3 men have traveled twice to the moon (2 of them landed) Gene Cernan - landed Jim Lovell - aborted John Young - landed (MORE)

Did we land on the near side of the moon?

Yes. There was no choice; if they landed on the lunar far side, their radio and TV signals would not reach Earth (with the Moon itself in the way!).

What is the answer to 20c plus 5 equals 5c plus 65?

20c + 5 = 5c + 65 Divide through by 5: 4c + 1 = c + 13 Subtract c from both sides: 3c + 1 = 13 Subtract 1 from both sides: 3c = 12 Divide both sides by 3: c = 4
