Saturn V rockets, the most powerful engines ever built, lifted all of the Apollo missions from Earth's surface into orbit.
Apollo asteroids are a group of near-Earth asteroids with orbits that intersect with Earth's orbit. They are named after the first asteroid of this group discovered, 1862 Apollo. Some Apollo asteroids are classified as potentially hazardous asteroids due to their close approach to Earth.
There was no real Apollo 5 mission. All flights before Apollo 7 were unmanned equipment test flights that never left Earth orbit.
Apollo 8 entered lunar orbit on December 24, 1968.
Jim Lovell is famous for being an astronaut who participated in several important space missions, including the Apollo 13 mission. Lovell became well-known for his role in helping to safely return the crew of Apollo 13 to Earth after a critical failure on their spacecraft.
When the Apollo astronauts were in orbit around the moon they were the furthest any human had been from the earth.
1965 When Apollo 13 went up.
The commander of the Apollo 13 mission was Jim Lovell.

Apollo 8 did not blow up. Apollo 8 was the first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon. It returned to the Earth safely. Apollo 13 is the spacecraft that had an explosion while traveling to the moon.
Apollo 8 was the first spacecraft to orbit the moon.
When Apollo 13 was reentering Earth is was traveling at a speed of 36,210.6 feet per second. When the spacecraft came around from the far side of the moon it was traveling at 860.5 feet per second.
The first Apollo mission to orbit the moon was Apollo 8. Launched on December 21, 1968, it carried three astronauts and completed 10 orbits around the moon before returning to Earth. This mission was a significant milestone in the Apollo program and paved the way for the subsequent lunar landings.
Apollo 8
The first Apollo mission to reach and orbit the moon was Apollo 8. Launched on December 21, 1968, it marked the first time humans had traveled to and orbited another celestial body. The crew of Apollo 8 included Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders.
The first American to orbit the moon was Frank Borman, who served as the commander of the Apollo 8 mission in December 1968. Apollo 8 was the first crewed mission to orbit the moon and provided valuable information for future moon landings.
yes there was a Apollo 13 , it followed Apollo 12.
