The Apollo missions were started in the '60's during the Space Age. The goal was to send a man to the moon and collect samples for scientific study. This is what Neil Armstrong went to the moon for. There were 13 missions: the last one ended in a failure. Also, some others that I don't know failed as well.
There were 7 missions planned to go to the moon, but only 6 made successful landings. Apollo missions 11 through 17 all landed on the moon, excluding Apollo 13 which suffered an explosion on its way to the moon.
In order to give the impression that the Apollo program was motivated by the desire
for real, substantial scientific research. Remember, there were six (6) moon landings,
and each one returned samples from a different part of the lunar surface.
Back at the beginning of the space race with the Soviet Union, the ultimate conceivable goal at the time was to land men on the moon, and return them to earth. The Soviets had made the first launch of a satellite with Sputnik, embarrassing the united States. They also achieved the first person in space with Yuri Gagarin. Once Once smaller goals like putting a man-made object in space, putting a man in space, orbiting the earth, space walks and such had been achieved, the moon was the last goal. The "final leg" of the space race was on. We won that leg of the race when Neil Armstrong became the first human to step onto the surface of the moon. The mission was Apollo 11, and they walked on the moon on July 20, 1969.
The three astronauts for the mission were Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin. Collins remained in the command module (Columbia), while Armstrong and Aldrin took the lunar module (Eagle) to the Moon's surface.
The Apollo 11 was launched on July 16, 1969 and its mission was called Translunar Injection. This means that "it's time to head for the moon".
It was to gather info about the moon and the space around it.
Because They want to be famous and be on national television nah really they just go so they can visit the little mashans And to visit E.T
The Lunar Rover was used by the astronauts to increase the range of their exploration.
..because it was there..
It was USSR vs the USA in a space race, to prove to each other and to the world that they were the most powerful and technologically advanced nation.
Apollo 11's mission was to send a man to the moon. It was successful, and it led to the United States victory in the space race.
Sound will not travel on the moon because on the moon there is no air, and sound works by vibrating particles next to each other. YES IT WONT TRAVEL AT ALL
2 Light years...
Yes.
about a month
Armstrong traveled with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Aldrin went with Armstrong to the lunar surface. Collins remained in the command module in orbit around the moon.
Travel to the moon.
Yes. This is how Armstrong stepped on the moon.
They think they might but those things on the moon but their not sure.
No. Man did travel and land on the moon.
It can travel through the moon's crust, yes - it is solid. But it cannot travel through the air on the moon, of course, because there Is no air on the moon!
Astronauts are people who travel in space.
Its not completely safe for ANYONE to travel to the moon.
I don't think you travel "in" the moon...
What was the name of the rocket used to travel to the moon?
The moon is opaque. Light cannot travel through it.
what it is not right it must be how long it takes to travel to the moon!!!
Sound can travel on the moon because there is no atmosphere. Space is a vacuum that does not allow sound to travel.
