The space mission leading to Apollo 11 were Apollo7, 8, 9, and Apollo10.
Even though Apollo one burned up killing the three astronauts, in all there were a total of 11 Eleven manned Apollo moon missions. They were Apollo 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 , 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.
If there was an Apollo 3, it was an unmanned flight. I don't have any more details than that, but I suggest you look up "Apollo Missions" on Wikipedia.
No one. After the fire of Apollo 1, all missions up to Apollo 6 included were unmanned test flights.
Although NASA originally planned on missions up through Apollo 20 funding for the missions was drastically reduced once they had "been there and done that". As such they cut back on the planned missions and Apollo 17 became the last moon shot.
That would be Apollo 13, but luckily nobody was killed. The only Apollo mission that ended up with a fatal explosion was Apollo 1, which set fire on the launchpad during a test exercise. Just an addition to my previous answer. . . it was the Challenger that blew up after take off due to a bad piece of rubber gasket called an O-ring. It was the freezing temperatures that day that caused the O-ring to fail, and cause a leak between the fire and the fuel tanks. Quick fact about Apollo 13 it was an oxygen tank that ruptured it didn't really blow up, but it did create a lot of problems.
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.
The result of the apollo 11 was a great success , it went without a hitch, the three astronauts splashed down safely, and were picked up by the Aircraftcarrier Hornet.
They collected core, rock and soil samples, they took pictures, and they set up long term science experiments
YES!!!!!!!!The Challenger blew up on takeoff. The Columbia burned up in reentry. Apollo 1 had a fire in it. these are 3 of many.
Apollo 18 never flew. The Apollo program was originally scheduled for missions up through Apollo 20, but the last three missions were cancelled due to budget cuts, making Apollo 17 the final mission.
The Apollo program was originally meant to run up to Apollo 40, by which time there would be a permanent base on the Moon. However this was changed early on and the missions cut back to Apollo 21. The final mission was subsequently cancelled. Apollo 20 was then cancelled in January 1970 and Apollo's 18 and 19 were cancelled in September the same year.
There where suppose to be 20, but NASA had to cancel 19-20 for an unknown reasson, but the was leaked information that there was an apollo 18 and during that time up in the moon something went terribly wrong.
