What was the manned space program that came before Apollo?
The ten Gemini missions were before Apollo and tested many of the procedures necessary before Apollo could proceed, such as spacewalking, docking and rendezvous techniques. Prior to them were the Mercury missions.See the Web Links to the left for more information.
What came first the Apollo program or the Gemini program?
The Gemini program preceded the Apollo program
How did Apollo 11 get its name?
It was the 11th mission in the Apollo project. Like the planets, many US rockets and space projects carried names from mythology. The first manned project was called Mercury, after the winged Roman messenger. The second, Gemini, came from the sign of twins because the capsule carried two astronauts. The Apollo project was named by NASA manager Abe Silverstein who thought "Apollo riding his chariot across the Sun was appropriate to the grand scale of the proposed program."
What spaceship blew up on the launch pad and killed the crew?
It was Apollo one on January's 27,1967 Gus Grissom, Ed white and Roger Chaffee they all perished within 30 secs of smoke inhalation and burns. It was a very sad day,no Apollo mission was manned until Apollo 8 and they used the Saturn v before they where using the Saturn IV. Apollo 8 flow to the moon and circled it and came back to Earth
Where did Apollo 10 take place?
Apollo 10 was the fourth manned mission in the American Apollo space program. It was an F type mission---its purpose was to be a "dry run" for the Apollo 11 mission, testing all of the procedures and components of a Moon landing without actually landing on the Moon itself. The mission included the second crew to orbit the Moon and an all-up test of the lunar module (LM) in lunar orbit. The LM came to within 8.4 nmi (15.6 km) of the lunar surface during practice maneuvers.

What did Project Mercury do?
There was a Mercury Program in the US in the early 1960's, it was the program that put the first American astronaut into space. They were called "capsules", a one man space ship that was boosted into space by a rocket, they had very little maneuverability. The program was followed by Gemini, which had 2 men in each capsule, then Apollo, where 3 men were in each capsule. Apollo was the program where the first human landed on the moon.
