Apollo 13 never made it to the moon, suffering a catastrophic failure en route. The Apollo missions in general used 5.625 million pounds of fuel in all three four stages of the Saturn V rocket.

Apollo 13 required approximately 20,000 gallons of fuel to reach the moon. This fuel was used to power the rocket and complete the necessary maneuvers to reach lunar orbit.

Why have Americans never landed on the moon?

Americans have landed on the moon during the Apollo missions in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The last manned mission to the moon was Apollo 17 in 1972. Since then, there have been no manned missions to the moon, but there are plans for future missions to return to the moon.


How much food do you need to take to get to the moon?

To travel to the moon, astronauts typically consume about 2,700 calories per day. A typical Apollo mission to the moon lasted around 8-12 days, so food supplies needed will depend on the mission duration and the number of astronauts onboard. Generally, astronauts will need enough food to cover their entire stay in space.


Why did the astronauts need the guidance computer on Apollo 11 and where was it guiding them to?

The guidance computer on Apollo 11 was needed to precisely calculate the spacecraft's position, velocity, and trajectory during the mission. It guided the astronauts to the Moon and helped them navigate the complex maneuvers required to perform the lunar landing and return safely to Earth.


Why did no moon landing of human occur since the last mission Apollo17 in 1972?

The sixth and final moon landing took place in the year 1972 and was completed by the Apollo 17. The lack of additional landings is due to the lack of funding and need for research of the moon.


How much fire power do you need to send a rocket to the moon?

It depends on the size, weight and shape of the rocket, but the amount of fuel used in NASA rockets is about 1000 tons of fuel per launch. The combined thrusting force required is around 25,000,000 N.

What is the impact on people for discovery of water in moon?

The main reason we would like to find water on the moon is that we will not have to bring it from earth.Water can be used as rock fuel if you separate the two components: Hydrogen and Oxygen. If water is present on the moon, we can create our own rocket fuel on the moon when we explore the rest of the solar system and beyond.Water on the moon is of course not only important for rocket fuel. If we in future wish to set up a base on the moon, the people living there will need water to drink and to irrigate the plants (for growing food in greenhouses). We do not need to bring this water if water already exists on the moon.Leaving earth's gravity is difficult and require a lot of energy (e.g. expensive in terms of fuel costs). Water is relatively heavy (and take up a lot of room). To lift it past earth's gravity is very taxing. It is much easier to escape the moon's gravity due to the lower gravitational pull.If we can find water on the moon, we do not need to bring it from earth.

How do you create gravity on moon?

There's no need to be concerned. There's plenty of gravity already on the moon. Compared to the surface of the Earth, the acceleration of gravity on the moon's surface is about 83% less. But the Apollo astronauts had no serious difficulty as they walked and even ran on the moon. And if there were not already plenty of gravity on the moon, there would be no way to "create" it anyway.

What were space probes sent to the moon for?

Space probes sent to the moon were designed to gather data and conduct scientific experiments to study the moon's surface, geology, and atmosphere. They also helped to prepare for manned missions to the moon, such as the Apollo missions.
