Yes collecting moon rocks was their main jobs.
Apollo 11 brought back samples of rock and soil from the Moon, known as lunar samples. These samples were collected during the Moon landing mission in July 1969. They provided valuable insights into the geology, composition, and history of the Moon.
Rocks from the moon.
Core, rock, and regolith samples.
Apollo 11 stayed on the surface of the moon for 26 hours.
Yes Apollo 11 brought back moonstones and the the other things used for experiments.
Apollo 11 collected lunar rock and soil samples during its mission to the moon in 1969. These samples were brought back to Earth for analysis and study by scientists to learn more about the moon's composition and geological history.
The Apollo 11 mission brought back samples of moon rocks and soil. These samples were collected by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin during their historic lunar landing.
The following Apollo mission each brought moon rocks back to earth, they were Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17.
There were 6 successful moon landings and each one returned a number of samples. In all the missions returned 841.4 pounds of moon rock and regolith. Apollo 11 - 47.51 lbs Apollo 12 - 75.73 lbs Apollo 14 - 93.21 lbs Apollo 15 - 170.44 lbs Apollo 16 - 211.00 lbs Apollo 17 - 243.65 lbs

The Apollo 11 crew spent approximately 21.5 hours on the moon's surface. They performed various tasks, such as collecting rock samples, setting up equipment, conducting experiments, and taking photographs, before returning to the lunar module.
Apollo 11 collected a variety of samples from the Moon, including about 47.5 pounds (21.5 kilograms) of lunar rocks, soil, and core samples. The astronauts also brought back moon dust and conducted experiments, such as deploying the American flag and setting up scientific instruments. These samples have provided valuable insights into the Moon's geology, formation, and the history of the solar system. The lunar samples are still studied today to enhance our understanding of planetary science.
