Apollo 11
The USSR's Luna 3 probe in 1959
The first pictures of the back of the moon were taken by the Soviet probe Luna 3.
she took pictures of the moon and studied it.
They collected samples, took pictures, reported back via radio what their impressions were, and placed science packages out to collect data.
It took about 199,000 gallons to the moon and 189,001 gallons back
The back side of the Moon always faces away from Earth and is not visible. The Apollo 8 astronauts were the first people to view the back side of the moon directly, when they orbited the moon. The first pictures of the back side of the moon were taken by the Soviet Union's Luna 3 space probe in 1959.
The rocket that took astronauts to the moon was called the Saturn V. The Apollo missions used the Saturn V rocket to launch astronauts to the moon and back.
Ranger 7 took its first close-up pictures of the Moon on July 31, 1964. This spacecraft was the first to transmit high-resolution images of the lunar surface, capturing over 4,000 pictures before it impacted the Moon. The mission significantly contributed to lunar exploration and paved the way for future missions.
It took the crew of Apollo eleven seven days to go to the moon and come back.
I shined my flashlight at the moon; it took about 1.3 seconds to get there, and another 1.3 seconds to bounce back to me.
The Soviets launched a series of Luna probes that took the first pictures of the far side of the Moon. In 1966, Luna 9 made the first successful landing on the Moon and sent back television footage from the Moon's surface.
The total duration of the Apollo 11 mission was around 8 days. The spacecraft took about 3 days to travel to the Moon, where astronauts spent approximately 21.5 hours on its surface before returning to Earth. The journey back from the Moon to Earth took another 3 days.
