Project Apollo was a series of human spaceflight missions undertaken by the United States of America (NASA) using the Apollo spacecraft and Saturn launch vehicle, conducted during the years 1961 � 1975. It was devoted to the goal (in U.S. President John F. Kennedy's famous words) of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" within the decade of the 1960s. This goal was achieved with the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969. Apollo 8 became the first manned mission to travel to the moon in December 1968, with Frank Bormann, Jim Lovell (later to be the Commander of Apollo 13), and Bill Anders.
