The Earth's rotation is very gradually slowing down. So, we occasionally add leap seconds to clocks to keep the daily cycle (as measured by accurate "atomic clocks") as close to the "mean solar day" as possible. Without leap seconds, "Coordinated Universal Time", based on atomic clocks, would slowly drift farther and farther away from any standard based on the Sun's position in the sky due to Earth's rotation. The "second" used by atomic clocks was fixed in relation to the Earth's rotation period about a hundred years ago. That's why the two time measurements are now "out of synch". Of course, the gap will continue to grow.
When they reached the moon? They were more nervous than happy: the mission had thousands of variables and a high probability of failure at any given time. This fact can be heard in the famous "one step" phrase:"One small step for [a] man, one giant leap for Mankind".
Yes. "Retrograde motion" occurs when the apparent path of a planet through the background of the stars appears to turn backward from its usual direction. The cause is that the Earth and other planets are in orbit around the Sun. The inner planets orbit more quickly than the outer ones. At times in its orbit, the Earth seems to "leap ahead" as it passes the outer planet.
