Which Apollo mission was the first to orbit the moon?

Which man stayed spacecraft when Apollo 11 reached Moon?

What was the name of the US spacecraft that first landed on the moon?
The name of the US spacecraft that first landed on the moon was Apollo 11.
What is the max speed of a manned spacecraft?
The maximum speed reached by a manned spacecraft was during the Apollo 10 mission in 1969, when the spacecraft reached a speed of about 24,791 mph (39,897 km/h) relative to Earth. This speed was necessary to escape Earth's gravity and travel to the Moon.
The mini-series From the Earth to the Moon detailed the missions of what spacecraft?
The mini-series "From the Earth to the Moon" detailed the missions of the Apollo spacecraft, specifically focusing on the Apollo program that aimed to send astronauts to the Moon.
What was Apollo 8 used for?

In which spacecraft did Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon?
Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon on the Apollo 11 lunar module called the Eagle.
What was the Apollo spacecraft's altitude?
The Apollo Moon Missions took several steps in getting to the Moon. After launch, the craft adopted an initial Earth orbit with an altitude of 99 Nautical miles. The second step, tranlunar injection, carried the craft to the vicinity of the Moon where it was captured into Lunar orbit at an average altitude of 60.3 Nautical miles above the Moon's surface. Of course while orbiting the Moon, the craft could be considered to have been effectively orbiting the Earth at the average altitude of the Moon, about 240,000 miles. The figures are for Apollo 11 and are from Rocky, who has a "flashbulb memory" of watching Neil Armstrong step onto the Moon
