Why weren't the American moon missions called Apollo instead of Artemis?

I think that the American Moon missions were called either Appollo, in which case I think someone told you something wrong but if they were called Artemis then it is because the british moon missions were called Artemis. Which I think is better because Appollo is the Ancient Greeek God of harvest and the sun and Artemis is the ancient Greek God of the moon.


What happened in the story of Artemis and Orion?

Some stories say Orion was a hunting companion of Artemis, and she admired his skill and loved him, others say that he was a great hunter and sought out Artemis and tried to rape her - and still others say that they were hunting companions and he boasted that there was not a beast on earth he could not kill, and Gaia took offense of this. In the end Orion dies, there are a few doubts to who killed him and why, however. Slain by Artemis in wrath, is the most commonly known. Orion slain by Gaia, turned into a constellation by Artemis. Orion slain through a trick of Apollon, turned into a constellation by Artemis.
