The large multi-stage rocket called the Saturn V launched men to the Moon from 1968 to 1972. The new vehicle (2017) will be called the Ares 1 booster. (The Space Shuttle is not a lunar-capable vehicle.)
It takes astronauts about three days to travel from Earth to the moon in a spacecraft. This journey includes launch, travel time, and lunar orbit insertion before landing on the moon.
Astronauts use small bursts from little jets pointed in the direction of travel to slow down the ship when they approach the moon.
No, astronauts would not be able to hear an explosion on the moon because there is no atmosphere to transmit sound waves. Sound requires a medium like air to travel through, and since the moon is airless, there would be no way for sound to propagate and reach the astronauts' ears.
No astronauts have died on the moon. All astronauts who have traveled to the moon returned safely to Earth.
People who go to the Moon are called astronauts. This term generally refers to individuals trained to travel and work in space, including missions to the Moon. Notably, those who have walked on the lunar surface, such as the Apollo program astronauts, are often specifically referred to as lunar astronauts.

No female astronaut has ever been to the moon. There have been only 12 Astronauts who have landed on the moon. All of them were men.

Astronauts are people who travel in space.
They are used so that astronauts can travel faster when on the moon. Hence, they can travel further before they run out of oxygen

No astronauts littered the moon.
The total distance Apollo astronauts traveled to the moon and back was approximately 477,000 miles (768,800 kilometers). The one-way distance from Earth to the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers).
