If you mean the Mars pathfinder, then I would say nothing. Apollo 11 did not use any type of wheeled vehicle anywhere on their mission, and certainly nothing robotic. The lunar rovers we're used until Apollo 15.
Their has been several... Most of them named Apollo #. The Soviet Union had its unmanned Luna program, which was first in 1959. The US also had the unmanned Surveyor program.
What makes the space shuttles different than other space craft is that they are reusable. Most spacecraft are used one time, then disposed of. The Russian Soyuz and the American Apollo spacecraft are examples of this. Another difference is the way they return to Earth. After other spacecraft reenter Earth's atmosphere, they deploy parachutes and make water landings (US Apollo), or land in snow (Russian Soyuz). The space shuttle lands like an airplane.
The four most well-known spacecraft are probably Apollo 11 (for the moon landing), Voyager 1 (interstellar probe), the Space Shuttle (NASA's reusable spacecraft), and the International Space Station (orbiting laboratory).
Apollo is the greek sun god. He drives a chariot carrying the sun around so the spacecraft were most likely named that to give the trips a blessing and good fortunes. I am not exactly sure but i think this is why.
The purpose was to put man on the moon and return him and the spacecraft safely. But they also wanted to establish new technology and develop man's abillity to work in a lunar enviorment. The Apollo program is the most remembered and most significant of all the programs. Sincerely, Phantomfreak6377
Most of the core races in Pathfinder originate from other Pathfinder products.
Jim Lovell is famous for being an astronaut who participated in several important space missions, including the Apollo 13 mission. Lovell became well-known for his role in helping to safely return the crew of Apollo 13 to Earth after a critical failure on their spacecraft.
The main parts of Apollo 13's mission include the launch, the oxygen tank explosion, the improvised repairs to the spacecraft, the successful re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, and the safe return of the astronauts. These events were crucial in making Apollo 13 one of NASA's most dramatic and heroic missions.
Apollo is noted as having shoulders that glisten like a wild beast's fur. This description is most notably from "Archaic Torso of Apollo" by Rainer Maria Rilke.

Yes, the Apollo 8 mission of December 1968 was a success. It had the first manned spacecraft to leave earth orbit, the first manned spacecraft to reach the moon and to orbit another celestial body; enabled the first direct views of the far side of the moon, and generated one of spaceflights most famous photographs, that of earthrise during lunar orbit. It paved the way for remaining missions in the Apollo program including the later lunar landing of Apollo 11. The three crew, Borman, Lovell and Anders, completed mission objectives and returned safely to Earth.
The first planet to be visited by spacecraft was Venus. The Soviet spacecraft Venera 1 was the first to fly by Venus in 1961, followed by flybys and landings by subsequent missions from various countries.
