The fastest the Apollo missions got was on Apollo 10 which got to 24,790 mph on the return trip home. You achieve the highest speed during this portion of the trip due to gravity of Earth helping you accelerate towards itself.

Why didn't they skip from Apollo 12 to Apollo 14?

Apollo 13 occurred between Apollo 12 and Apollo 14. The numbering of the Apollo missions was determined by their launch sequence, so skipping directly from Apollo 12 to Apollo 14 would have disrupted this order. Additionally, each mission had specific objectives and goals, so skipping missions would have meant missing out on valuable scientific data and progress in the Apollo program.


How many missions to moon?

There were 6 manned moon landings. One more mission (Apollo 13) was intended to be a manned landing, but malfunctioned and returned to Earth after rounding the Moon without landing. Apollo 10 didn't actually land, but got within a few miles of the lunar surface. Apollo 8 also went "to" the Moon in the sense that it orbited the Moon before returning to Earth. That's 9 manned missions that made it at least as far as lunar orbit (Apollo missions 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17). "Apollo 18" is just a cheesy horror movie with no basis in fact, and Apollo 9 was an equipment test performed in Earth orbit. There have been a lot of unmanned probes sent as well.

How many people have just landed on the Moon and not walked on it?

None. All 12 astronauts that landed there got out and walked around, mostly picking up rocks. There were 9 manned missions that reached lunar orbit: Apollo 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17. Apollo 8 just orbited, Apollo 10 just tested the Lunar Lander in lunar orbit (dress rehearsal), and Apollo 13 had a severe malfunction that meant they could not land on the Moon. The other six missions landed 2 astronauts each.


Why did Apollo get the lyre from Hermes?

Apollo got the lyre from Hermes because he traded his cattle for it. Hermes had stolen Apollo's cattle when he was just a newborn, and to make amends, Hermes gifted the lyre to Apollo as a peace offering.

Can you safely launch and return space shuttles?

No. Some Apollo missions got held down on overheat. Apollo 14 missed and failed the mission. Also, Apollo 14 got crashed, but ran down to a %17 air tank! It landed safely on the crust of the Earth. But in space, it had suspension problem and the boosters turned back to %30 turbo.
