No, Apollo 8 was the first manned mission to orbit the moon in December 1968. It did not land on the moon; that achievement came later with the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969.
Since the Moon is always orbiting Earth, both Earth and Moon together orbit the Sun in 1 year.
No, John Glenn did not land on the moon. He was the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962 but did not participate in any of the Apollo moon landing missions.
There is no evidence that the moon has ever left its orbit since it formed, and there is no reason to expect that it will leave its orbit anytime in the forseeable future.
Get a rocket that takes you from Earth's surface to Moon's orbit, and use a Lunar Lander to travel from Moon's orbit to surface. That's the way Apollo missions did.You will have to use a rocket to get there.
Apollo 6 was an unmanned test flight, which was not intended to reach the moon. Apollo 8 was the first to orbit the moon. Apollo 11 was the first to land on the moon.
Apollo1 was the first spacecraft in the Apollo mission to launched into orbit and land directly land on the moon.
Since the Moon has no atmosphere, any orbit where an object doesn't crash onto the Moon would do - even a few meters above the highest mountaintop that might otherwise interfere with the orbit.
No, Apollo 8 was the first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon, but it did not land.
Although dogs have been sent into orbit of the Earth, they have not yet landed on the moon.
No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.
John Glenn did not land on the moon. He was a NASA astronaut who became the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962. The moon landing was achieved by the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
