NASA was still a young agency when Apollo was introduced. The first space program was Mercury, whose mission was to launch astronauts, one at a time, into space and then into orbit.
Following Mercury was the Gemini program. Gemini spacecraft held two astronauts and saw was the first to really start with science and gear experiments. It was during Gemini that Ed White became the first American to perform an EVA (spacewalk).
Apollo directly followed Gemini, and the Space Shuttle program followed Apollo.
