How many times have you visited the moon in all Who were they Not just the US?

Eight space missions orbited the moon, carrying 24 astronauts. All were men from the USA who traveled to the moon as part of NASA's Apollo program during the period from 1968 to 1972. Six missions landed on the moon, and their 12 astronauts walked on its surface. No man walked on the moon more than once. And nobody except the 24 astronauts on the eight Apollo missions has ever been farther into space than "low earth orbit".

Was every landing on the moon was successful?

There are stories that the Soviets tried Moon landings that were unsuccessful. One U.S. moon mission, Apollo 13, was supposed to land on the moon but failed to do so due to a major mechanical defect. It did, however, orbit the moon once. There were no fatalities attributed to U.S. space missions in which astronauts did in fact land on the moon, however.

What are some interseting facts about the moon?

1. The moon is the only world, apart from the Earth, that people have actually walked on. Twelve U.S astronauts landed on the moon between 1969 and 1972 in the Apollo missions. 2. The moon always shows the same face to the Earth because it takes the same time for it to spin around once as it does for it to orbit the Earth. 3. The moon's suface is covered by craters caused by rocks, called meteorites, that crashed into it from space.

What is the energy source for the lunar rover?

The lunar rovers used electrical energy. The fuel cells that supplied energy to the command and service modules needed to be started on earth. There is no way to restart a fuel cell once in space. So, the lunar lander, the LEM, and the lunar rovers all had to use stored electrical energy.
