Apollo was the name of the project that was attempting to get men to the moon. The program was named after the Greek god of light and music by NASA manager Abe Silverstein. There were various parts of the mission, starting with basic tests of the components that would be used, such as the modules and the rockets. Some of the missions sent unmanned rockets into space. The first mission was Apollo 1, then Apollo 2 and so on. Apollo 7 was the first of the Apollo missions to take men into space. Apollo 11 was the first one to land on the moon. Apollo 17 was the last Apollo mission.
