Why was there only 3 people on Apollo 11?
All Apollo missions had a crew size of 3. The crew size of any spacecraft is limited by weight. The larger the crew the larger the craft needs to be and the larger the amount of consumables carried into space to keep the crew alive while off the earth must be. Eventually the weight of the spacefraft will be greater than the rocket lifting it off the Earth (or whatever planet it happens to be on) can handle. For the Apollo missions, the maximum crew size was 3.
Where do astronauts sleep in a spacecraft?
In the Mercury and Gemini spacecraft, the astronauts had no place to float to, so they slept in the seats. In the Apollo Command Module, the astronauts could sleep in either, the part looking at the instrument panel, and a small area behind the seats, where they were able to stretch there legs. In the Apollo Lunar Module, while it was landed on the Moon, one astronaut would sleep on the floor in front of the hatch, and the other would sleep curled up on the engine bell cover, below the docking hatch. Aboard space stations, the crew had individual bedrooms, the size of a telephone booth, which has a sleeping bag fastened to wall.
How did duct tape save the lives of the Apollo 13 crew?
It helped save the crew because it put together the pieces of the land Rover so they could get back to their space craft. The preceding answer is completely bogus. Apollo 13 suffered a series of malfunctions and a major explosion on the first day of the mission, which immediately required an improvised mission abort plan. Because the service module was badly damaged by the explosion, the 3 man crew evacuated to the lunar landing module. The CO2 filtering system for the LM was designed for only 2 people for only 3 days, and the filter quickly became saturated. NASA engineers on the ground figured out how to use the spare CO2 filters from the command module, which were of a different size and configuration from the LM filter, piecing together space suit hoses, cardboard from a supply box, plastic bags and holding it all together with lots of DUCT TAPE. They talked the Apollo 13 astronauts through the steps required to make and install the make-shift filter, now referred to as the "mailbox" and it worked. Without this solution, the Apollo 13 crew would have died from CO2 poisoning. Duct tape was used on Apollo 17's lunar rover...to hold together a makeshift fender after they discovered that gritty lunar dust thrown up by the rover's tires was clogging the instruments and space suit filters.
Is there any interest in building full size home built Apollo command modules?
I'm sure there must be people like that, but to tell you the truth they would probably start smaller, just the capsule. FWIW I once saw a web page devoted to making replicas of the DSKY (Display Keyboard) used in the capsule, the ancestor to the screen and keyboard you are looking at now. Not only were they making a replica of the DSKY, they were also building replicas of the computer itself, and NASA even dug out the software to load in it!
How did Apollo 8 change other Apollo missions?
Among other things, Apollo 8 proved that the things that were said by astronauts on board the spacecraft could have implications back on Earth. NASA was actually sued over the Apollo 8 mission because the crew read from the Bible while in orbit around the moon. This angered activist groups who sued over a government agency participating in prayer, violating the separation of church and state. From this mission forward NASA and the Apollo crew were much more aware of the size of their audience and were more careful in what they said over the air.
What was the Apollo command and module size?
It is hard to tell
How many people went to Apollo 13?
All Apollo missions had a crew size of three, consisting of the Commander (CDR), the Command Module Pilot (CMP) and the Lunar Module Pilot (LMP)
How big was the spacecraft that Neil Armstrong went to the moon in?
The approximate size of the Apollo 11 rocket was 363ft high, or 111m (It was a Saturn V) - it was 33ft round, which is approximately 10m, and at launch, between the command module, the service module and the lunar module (excluding fuel), the whole thing would have weighed around 96,770lbs, 43,894.1kgs, or to put it in better terms - 44 tons. As I say, that EXCLUDES fuel, which would have weighed a heck of a lot more - you can probably stick another 2M lbs or so of fuel onto that.

Where is the ignition control module located on a Dodge Ram 250 full size van?
The ignition module for your van is located under the hood against the firewall. It has a fair size harness connected to it, with a bolt through the center of it to connect it to the module
What module is about one half the size of a PC card?
Ipod
Was Apollo the Greek god tall or short?
Whatever size he chose.
What does the spd chip on a memory module do?
It declares to system BIOS at startup the module's size, speed, voltage, and data path width.
If memory modules density is given as 16 x 64 what is the size of the module?
A+ "A guide to hardware" by Jean Andrews, pg240. It says if a density is 16x64, the size of the module is 16x(64/8) =16x8=128MB
