What were failures in the first moon landing?

Some of the failures during the first moon landing, Apollo 11, included a software error in the lunar module's guidance computer that caused a landing delay, shortage of fuel during descent, difficulties in finding a suitable landing spot due to rough terrain, and challenges with the communications systems between the astronauts and mission control. Despite these setbacks, the mission ultimately succeeded in landing astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Moon on July 20, 1969.


Why did Apollo 11 badly miss its intended landing site?

Apollo 11 missed its intended landing site due to incorrect information entered into the guidance computer during descent, uncertainties in the lunar terrain mapping, and the need to find a safe landing spot amidst the rocky and cratered surface. The astronauts manually took over control to spot and navigate to a suitable landing site in the final moments to make a safe touchdown on the Moon.


Who were the three men who first landed on the moon?

You're question is not very clear since only 2 men landed at any one time. The first lunar landing mission (Apollo 11) was flown by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Armstrong & Aldrin landed on the moon while Collins stayed in lunar orbit. The pilot during the actual landing was Armstrong. Aldrin fed information to Armstrong so Armstrong could keep his eyes on the surface and search for an appropriate landing spot. The second crew to land was Pete Conrad and Alan Bean aboard Apollo 12. Richard Gordon was the CMP who stayed in lunar orbit. Conrad performed the actual landing with Bean feeding him speed and rates of descent, etc. The third crew was Apollo 14's Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell and Stuart Roosa. Roosa was the CMP. Shepard flew the landing with Mitchell acting as his source of landing information.


What problems did neil Armstrong have on his journey to the moon?

Neil Armstrong encountered several problems on his journey to the moon, including issues with the lunar module's guidance computer, which caused the landing to be more challenging than anticipated. Additionally, he had to navigate around boulders and find a suitable landing spot with limited fuel reserves. Armstrong also had to deal with communication difficulties with mission control due to static interference.


What was the first crew to land on the moon?

The Apollo 11 crew of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Michael Collins circled the moon while his crewmates walked below. Armstrong was the commander who actually flew the Lunar Module to the surface of the moon. Aldrin's job as Lunar Module Pilot was to feed Armstrong information such as speed (both forward and descending) and fuel. Aldrin also ran the computer while Armstrong kept his eyes outside the vehicle searching for a safe landing spot on the Sea of Tranquility. The landing occurred at 4:17pm EDT on July 20, 1969. 6 1/2 hours later, Armstrong descended the ladder to become the first man to walk on the moon. Aldrin followed him down about 20 minutes later.
