Gemini
Apollo 11 was a spaceflight mission conducted by NASA. The mission lasted 8 days, from the launch on July 16, 1969, to the splashdown on July 24, 1969.
The Apollo 18 spacecraft docked with the Russian Soyuz 19 spacecraft in orbit during the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. This was the first international human spaceflight mission conducted by NASA and the Soviet space agency.
If you NASA, it is just off Interstate 45 s. which runs through Houston. From the center of town, without too much traffic, you could definitely get to NASA in 20 minutes. So it's like a Houston burb. Close to a the Clear Lake another town.

The name for the early spaceflight programs were chosen by the NASA managers in charge. Abe Silverstein is credited with naming Apollo, after the Greek god of light and music, mainly because he thought of it as bringing the "light of knowledge" to man.The USSR space program was more straightforward in their Moon probes, naming them Luna (Lunik).

Apollo 11 was the first spaceflight that landed humans on the moon. It was launched by NASA in 1969 and famously saw astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin take their historic steps on the lunar surface, while Michael Collins orbited above in the command module.
Apollo 13 was not a shuttle, as it was not reusable.
The city of Houston, Texas, is home to the NASA Johnson Space Center, which is responsible for human spaceflight training, research, and mission control. This center plays a critical role in the United States' space exploration efforts, including the Apollo missions and the International Space Station program.

The Gemini space program officially began on January 3, 1962. It was developed by NASA as the second human spaceflight program after the Mercury program and aimed to test technologies and techniques needed for the Apollo missions to the Moon.
NASA did not build the aircraft for the Apollo missions. Instead, NASA used rockets and spacecraft to send astronauts to the moon during the Apollo program. The Apollo 16 mission used a Saturn V rocket to launch the spacecraft carrying the astronauts.
