no they did not.
Six, but only the lower halves of each is still there. The upper halves, which contained the computers and quarters for the landing crew, was also used by the crew to leave the moon.
Yes, the United States did leave six American flags on the moon during the Apollo missions. However, due to the harsh conditions on the moon (extreme temperatures, radiation, micrometeorite impacts), it's likely that the flags have been bleached white and degraded by now.
Apollo 7 was the initial Apollo mission that left the ground and utilized the Saturn IB rocket (later missions used the Saturn IVB). The goal of the mission was to test the effectiveness of the newly redesigned command module for a trip to the moon. The mission did not leave earth orbit and unlike all other Apollo missions did not launch with a lunar module.
The items are left in the knothole during the school year because the kids who leave them there are typically students who are attending school regularly. When school is not in session, there are fewer opportunities for the students to leave items in the knothole.
They were in the Southwest and California and established missions and colonies.
Apollo 1 did not leave Earth. The mission was scheduled to launch on February 21, 1967, but tragically, a cabin fire during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967, resulted in the loss of the entire crew.
Yes, the Apollo 17 mission left a plaque on the Moon inscribed with the signatures of the Apollo 17 astronauts and President Richard Nixon, among other items like multiple scientific instruments and equipment. The plaque symbolized the culmination of the Apollo program and mankind's first and only visit to the Moon.
Yes, the Apollo 8 mission of December 1968 was a success. It had the first manned spacecraft to leave earth orbit, the first manned spacecraft to reach the moon and to orbit another celestial body; enabled the first direct views of the far side of the moon, and generated one of spaceflights most famous photographs, that of earthrise during lunar orbit. It paved the way for remaining missions in the Apollo program including the later lunar landing of Apollo 11. The three crew, Borman, Lovell and Anders, completed mission objectives and returned safely to Earth.
Project Apollo was a series of human spaceflight missions undertaken by the United States of America (NASA) using the Apollo spacecraft and Saturn launch vehicle, conducted during the years 1961 � 1975. It was devoted to the goal (in U.S. President John F. Kennedy's famous words) of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" within the decade of the 1960s. This goal was achieved with the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969. Apollo 8 became the first manned mission to travel to the moon in December 1968, with Frank Bormann, Jim Lovell (later to be the Commander of Apollo 13), and Bill Anders. They orbited it ten times, and did not land. The Pioneer 4 space probe had flown past the moon (within 60 000 km) on 4th March 1959.
