Is the spacecraft Apollo 13 named after the god Apollo?
Of course. Yes, the space program uses many names related to ancient religions.
What powered the Apollo 11 spacecraft?
The spacecraft's electrical power came from storage batteries (also called fuel cells), carried onboard. They generated a maximum of about 2300 watts. The fuel to launch the spacecraft was liquid oxygen (with kerosene, and liquid hydrogen for the upper stages), with nitrogen tetroxide to steer, adjust and make course corrections.
What was the second day of Apollo 13 like?
The second day of Apollo 13 was much the same as the second days on Apollo 8, Apollo 10, Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 before it with the crew performing a brief television tour for audiences back on Earth of their spacecraft while coasting to the moon. Astronauts Jim Lovell and Fred Haise also powered up the Lunar Module Aquarius to check its systems before their planned Lunar landing on April 14th 1970.Of course, mere hours after completing their television broadcast Jack Swigert was instructed to stir the hydrogen and oxygen tanks, famously causing an explosion which crippled the spacecraft and made impossible any Lunar landing.
What type of rocket launched the Apollo spacecraft?
The mammoth Saturn V 3-stage liquid fueled Lunar Launch Vehicle was responsible for the successful launch of all of the Apollo spacecraft (except of course Apollo 1, destroyed by fire on the launch pad during testing). The Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida, was specifically designed and built to assemble and service the Saturn V. When being rolled out on the crawler to the launch pad, the tip of the nose cone cleared the top of the doorway by only 6'. With the Apollo spacecraft aboard, the Saturn V was 363' tall and 33' wide, and weighed 6,699,000 lbs. It was just 1 foot shorter than St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
What planet was the first to be visited by spacecraft?
Every planet except Pluto has been explored by spacecraft.

Is Rutledge's account of Apollo 20 a Hoax?
A hoax of course. A Saturn V moon rocket is impossible to launch in secret. All the Apollo capsules are accounted for. Nixon canceled the Apollo project as quickly as he could as it was the idea of Democratic president JFK. He saw to it that the gear created for Apollo 18 was wasted on Apollo Soyuz, just to use it up so scientists wouldn't ask to go to the Moon any more. The stated purpose of Apollo Soyuz was to see if American spacecraft could be docked with Soviet spacecraft via a special adapter. However, since that was the last flightworthy Apollo capsule of that design, there would be no point in testing whether it could dock with a Soyuz!
When will a mass of a spaecraft change?
Since the spacecraft's fuel supply is mass, then the mass will decrease whenever the engines are started. If the spacecraft collides with space dust or a rock, then the total mass will increase slightly. Of course, if it's a big rock, the spacecraft may be destroyed in the collision.

Did they have a car accident?
Of course they got in a car accident!
Who loves Charlene Lam?
Apollo Lo, of course!
Is the lunar landing hoax real?
No. Every Apollo mission reached the moon except of course Apollo 13.
What is accident policy?
An accident policy is an insurance policy that will pay all or a portion of medical expenses incurred in the course of an accident.
Was making chewing gum an accident?
Well of Course it was
