The Apollo program was first thought up during the Eisenhower administration. On May 25, 1961, President Kennedy committed the US to going to the Moon, so you could say this was when Apollo was "created" rather than "thought about".

Yes. Basically, it's a mythical creature that originates from Ancient Greece. Apollo found it at the bottom of Mount Olympus; it was tiny! He took it back to the temple to show other Gods, but all the other Gods banished because it had poisonous fangs that could kill a God if it got into the wrong hands. Apollo was sure the creature was good so he raised it to health. Soon, the Miptor became a good friend to Apollo and helped him with things. But as the creature grew, it became too big to live with Apollo so he asked Poseidon (who had believed too that the creature was good) to give it the gift of breathing underwater and take it under the sea. So he did. And there, Zeus and the other Gods were pleased because they thought it was dead. The Miptor got attached to Poseidon, who nicknamed it Mipeto. The Miptor began to attack ships on the warpath. When Zeus found out the Miptor was still alive, he struck it with lightning and the Miptor landed in the sea of monsters.
