How fast did Apollo 11 travel at on its way to the moon?
Apollo 11 traveled to the moon at an average speed of about 3,600 kilometers per hour (2,237 miles per hour) during its three-day journey.
How many miles per hour did Apollo 13 travel on the way to the moon?
Apollo 13 traveled at an average speed of approximately 24,000 miles per hour on its way to the Moon.
Apollo 8 astronauts were the first to do what?
Apollo 8 astronauts were the first to orbit the Moon in December 1968. They did not land on the Moon, but their mission was crucial in paving the way for future Moon landings.
Why did it take the Apollo moon missions 3 days to reach the moon if they were traveling at 25K mph?
The Apollo missions had to travel a curved trajectory to reach the moon, rather than a straight line. Additionally, they needed to perform maneuvers to enter lunar orbit. These factors, combined with gravitational forces, required about 3 days to reach the moon.
What Apollo mission never reached the moon?
Apollo 13 is the mission that experienced a critical failure on its way to the moon and had to abort the mission. The crew famously managed to safely return to Earth despite the challenges they faced.
What happen on the Apollo 11 and Apollo 13 what were the differentces?
The Apollo 11 went to the moon and returned safely to earth. But Apollo 13, did not land on the moon, as it exploded on the way to the moon, but it returned safely.
How fast did Apollo 11 travel at on its way to the moon?
Apollo 11 traveled to the moon at an average speed of about 3,600 kilometers per hour (2,237 miles per hour) during its three-day journey.
How many miles per hour did Apollo 13 travel on the way to the moon?
Apollo 13 traveled at an average speed of approximately 24,000 miles per hour on its way to the Moon.
Will they extend Apollo 11 in the future?
Apollo 11 was a single mission in the Apollo Program. There is no way to extend a moon landing from 1969 into the future.
What did the crew of Apollo 11 do while on their way to the moon?
eat and sleep
Apollo 8 astronauts were the first to do what?
Apollo 8 astronauts were the first to orbit the Moon in December 1968. They did not land on the Moon, but their mission was crucial in paving the way for future Moon landings.

What was the first Apollo to orbit the moon?
The first Apollo mission to orbit the moon was Apollo 8. Launched on December 21, 1968, it carried three astronauts and completed 10 orbits around the moon before returning to Earth. This mission was a significant milestone in the Apollo program and paved the way for the subsequent lunar landings.
Why was the Apollo space program important?
It started a change in the way scientist studied the moon
How fast did Apollo 11 travel to the moon?
Let me clarify Stu's answer below. When the Apollo spacecraft left earth's orbit they executed what they referred to as a TLI burn (Trans-Lunar Injection). This burn accelerated the spacecraft from an earth orbital velocity of approximately 17,500 mph to the TLI velocity of about 25,000 mph. The engines were then cut off, and the spacecraft "coasted" to the point where the earth's gravitational pull was equaled by that of the moon. At this point, the spacecraft had slowed due to the continuing (albeit decreasing) pull of earth's gravity to a mere 2,000 mph. At that "tipping point" the moon's gravity took over and began accelerating the spacecraft again until it reached the vicinity of the moon, at which point it's speed was around 5,000 mph. At that time the spacecraft executed an LOI (Lunar Orbit Insertion) retro-burn designed to slow it to a velocity which would place it in a specific orbit around the moon, approximately 3,600 mph. Stu: At the time when Apollo 11 left Earth orbit for the Moon, it was traveling at approximately 36,700 ft./sec. Its velocity was slowed all the way to the Moon, by the Earth's gravity. On the return journey, the Earth's gravity accelerated the Command Module, so that just before it hit the Earth's atmosphere, it was traveling approximately 36,300 ft./sec. There was nothing special about Apollo 11's velocity; any vehicle traveling to the Moon, manned or unmanned, would have to achieve the same velocities. I'm assuming that you knew that 9 Apollo missions went to at least lunar orbit, and that 6 Apollo Lunar Modules actually made landings.
