Which Apollo flight was launched with a Saturn c-1 booster?

The Saturn C-1 (also known as the Saturn 1) was only used for ten flights near the beginning of the Apollo Program, to test various aspects of the Apollo spacecraft and other technology. There were never any manned launches.


What is a spacecraft?

NASA uses the term spacecraft to mean devices, either manned or unmanned, which are designed for spaceflight. That is, for flight in the vacuum of space.NASA literature is replete with phrases like ". . the Pioneer spacecraft returned the first detailed information on the planets Venus, Jupiter and Saturn." And, ". . . Network used for tracking planetary exploration spacecraft such as the Voyagers, Vikings and MarinersThe Wikipedia article linked below does a good job of explaining the meaning of the term spacecraft. A spacecraft is a machine designed by humans to function by human control in space. All manned orbital vehicles are technically spacecraft, as are those remotely controlled from the Earth. Some aircraft have the capability to reach altitudes associated with space, but only for short times and distances. These are not considered true spacecraft.


What is a spacecraft that can be used again and again?

The shuttle program was a spacecraft that was reusable.


What new Spacecraft has been designed to eventually replace what is being used today?

There are no current American manned spacecrafts flying today. Lockheed Martin is designing and testing the Orion spacecraft which will fly 4 astronauts into space. The first unmanned testflight is scheduled at the end of 2013. Orion is scheduled to fly the first men to the moon since 1972in 2019.

Is gravity used in space travel?

If you mean do any manned spacecraft use artificial gravity, the answer is, not so far. But, in the future, large spacecraft may create artificial gravity by rotating them. To conserve fuel, the gravity of the moon/planets is used to pull spacecraft toward them. And of course the gravity of earth is used to hold/pull on spacecraft so they orbit (circle) around it instead of flying off into space.
