In a broad sense, not very. Sure we can go and visit our celestial neighbor; but we can't survive there indefinitely. I know it was a big thing on the news all over the world when it happened; but we need to think about living in space for longer periods than that. When we survive there we can truly say we have accomplished something great for our race.

Lunar module is the landing craft design to transport astronaut from Moon's orbit down to surface and return astronaut back to orbit. Lunar module is the key part in Apollo project led by NASA.
The Moon gives the Earth tides and the Earth keeps the Moon orbiting the Earth because of the gravitational pull.
No because the Moon reflects the light of the Sun.
when the moon is said to be "waxing" it basically means that it's getting bigger. the sun reflects off of more of its surface that is visable to the earth. from the new moon, it slowly becomes a waxing crescent, then waxing gibbous, to eventually a full moon. then begins "waning" or getting smaller until it's back to the new moon again.
Cause the us was comprying with Russia at the time
The landing of the US spacecraft Surveyor on the moon was significant because it was the first time a US spacecraft successfully landed on another celestial body. It provided valuable data for future manned missions, particularly the Apollo program, by demonstrating the feasibility of soft landings on the moon. Additionally, Surveyor's images and data helped scientists better understand the lunar surface for potential human exploration.
The Surveyor 1 was the first U.S.A. spacecraft to perform a controlled landing on the moon on March 30,1966. It took 11,100 pictures (film not digital) over a six week mission. It was not a manned mission.
The first spacecraft to make a soft landing on the moon was the surveyor 1 spacecraft in 1966.
It proved a soft landing was possible, and that the lunar surface would support the weight of a lander. There was some concern the lunar surface might be of such thick and fluffy dust as to allow a lander to sink into it.
The only answer I got was apollo, but it did not state what year that happened. Was there a landing on the moon first without it being manned, and later was there the landing with men on board?
Surveyor 1 was the first American spacecraft on the moon. It landed in 1966
Apollo 12, the second manned mission to land on the Moon, was successful in achieving its primary goal of landing a crew on the lunar surface. The astronauts conducted two moonwalks, retrieved parts from the Surveyor 3 spacecraft, and collected lunar samples. It also demonstrated precision landing, landing within walking distance of the Surveyor spacecraft.
It was the surveyor spacecraft.
The Surveyor 5 spacecraft landed on the Moon on September 10, 1967. It was part of the American Surveyor program that prepared for the Apollo manned missions to the Moon.
One reason why landing a spacecraft on the moon takes careful planning is that the moon move along its own path (its own orbit).One reason why landing a spacecraft on the moon takes careful planning is that the moon always moves along its own orbit.
The Soviet Union's unmanned spacecraft Luna 9 was the first man-made probe to make a soft landing on the moon on February 3rd, 1966.
