How many times has neil armstrong landed on the moon?
Neil Armstrong landed on the moon only once, during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
How did the Lunar Roving Vehicle get on the moon?
The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) was transported to the moon on the Apollo lunar missions. It was folded and stowed on the lunar module, and astronauts assembled and deployed it once they landed on the moon's surface.
How many astronauts have been on more than one Apollo missions?
3 astronauts flew on multiple Apollo missions * Jim Lovell - Apollo 8, Apollo 13 (intended to land) * John Young - Apollo 10 (later landed on Apollo 16) * Eugene Cernan - Apollo 10 (later landed on Apollo 17) No astronaut has walked on the moon more than once. Additionally 3 astronauts would have flew on multiple Apollo missions and possibly walked on the moon more than once had the program continued past Apollo 17 * Dick Gordon - Apollo 12 (had been slated to land on Apollo 18) * Fred Haise - Apollo 13 was scheduled for Apollo 19 * Stuart Roosa - Apollo 14 (he had also been slated to land on the moon with Apollo 20)
How did Apollo fly?
Apollo spacecrafts were launched into space atop a Saturn V rocket. Once in orbit, the spacecraft used its own propulsion system to travel to the Moon. The crew module detached from the rocket's third stage, turned around, and docked with the lunar module before continuing the journey to the Moon.
Was Apollo 13 close to the moon?
Yes, Apollo 13 was close to the moon, approximately 205,000 miles away, when the oxygen tank exploded on April 13, 1970. This incident led to a critical situation for the crew as they had to abort their mission and work on returning safely to Earth.

Why did science once think there were volcanoes on the moon What evidence from the Apollo landing this unlikely?
The Apollo evidence was that there WERE volcanoes on the moon.
What would you find on the moon that would be useful?
The Eagle's landing base and the reflector the Apollo astronauts left (this would prove they actually landed once and for all).Huge amounts of natural resources.Water on the moon would be useful for us.

How many people have stood on the surface of the Moon?
If you mean actually walked on the moon, there have been 12 : two each from six NASA missions as part of the Apollo program.24 astronauts have traveled to the moon in total, some of them twice, and some on missions which only orbited or went around the moon. On July 20, 1969, US astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin landed on the moon. Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the lunar surface. Five additional landings were made from 1970 to 1972 (the last manned exploration there). (see related question)
What was the purpose of the Apollo 12?
The purpose of Apollo 12 was to land on Luna, again. Although NASA astronauts already landed on the moon once, in Apollo 11, NASA wanted to learn more of our dear moon.During launch, Saturn V was actually struck by lightning! But after a while of the power off, flight control managed to get the power back up, and the emergency plans weren't used.The three astronauts landed safely on Luna and back to earth.
How many times did Neil Armstrong go to space before landing on the moon?
Only once, on the Gemini 8 mission. He was listed as a backup pilot for the Gemini 11 but did not go into space on that mission, staying on Earth until he reached the moon with Apollo 11.
How many times did neil Armstrong walk on the moon?
Neil Armstrong walked on the moon once, during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
Did the US make it to the moon?
No, the landing was not faked. The moon is only about 235,000 miles from the earth. Although it was an ambitious endeavor for 1969 technology, with little room for error; it was completely within the expectations of those of us who studied physics and (astronomy as a hobby). The Van Allen belt posed no more threat than a few chest x-rays for the short trip through the "hot-spot". The moon's 1/6 earth-gravity combined with no atmospheric pressure, made the dangerous landing a little more predictable. Landing that type of vehicle down through earth's gravity and atmosphere would have been much more difficult. Once the lander was on the moon's surface, the difficult part was done. Remember - we had to abort the Apollo 13 mission, and narrowly escaped losing the whole crew - live and on TV. Does anyone think we faked that one as well?
