Apollo 11
There were 2 astronauts on each Project Gemini mission.
Project Mercury.
As soon as NASA landed on the moon back in 1969, the general public started getting less and less interested in space exploration. The logic behind the thinking was that they have beaten the Russians to the moon, why continue to invest money into the program? Not long after the first moon landing of Apollo 11, congress started cutting at NASAs budget and cancelled Apollo 18-to 21. This is just a comment but they acually sent Apollo 18 to the moon and it never returned!

Film media has played a significant role in boosting NASA's popularity by portraying astronauts as heroes and showcasing their adventures in space. Films such as "Apollo 13" and "First Man" have captivated audiences and generated interest in space exploration. This exposure has helped increase public support for NASA's missions and initiatives.

from what I have heard NASA have started to look at the old Apollo style capsules as they are safer than the shuttle and also travel deeper into space as the shuttle can only orbit the earth. in the mean time they will be using the Russian capsules to travel to the ISS As of yet NASA have not said what their next objective is after Obama declined funding for a moon base and NASAs idea of traveling to mars
Due to limitation in budget, the NASA is going to quit manufacturing Space Shuttles and again start making ordinary rockets.
