no it was not.

it made us feel sad
As of now, the best-known and most historically important US space program would be the Apollo missions, from 1967 to 1972. Collectively, they produced the following milestones:The first manned orbit of the moon. (Apollo 10)The first men on the moon. (Apollo 11)The first manned vehicle on the moon. (Apollo 15)The last men on the moon to date. (Apollo 17)The most famous space disaster with a happy ending. (Apollo 13)What at the time was the most famous space-related disaster with a tragic ending. (Apollo 1, since superseded by the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters)
They are watching the Apollo 11 mission, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon for the first time.
Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon, with Buzz Aldrin being the second, on July 20, 1969 (US time). But they were on the Apollo 11 mission, not Apollo 13. Apollo 13, launched on April 11, 1970, had an onboard explosion that prevented a lunar landing. Instead, they circled the Moon and safely returned to Earth. It was the only inflight failure of the 9 Apollo missions to the Moon.
Some of the Apollo crew members include Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins from Apollo 11; Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert from Apollo 13; and Gene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt, and Ronald Evans from Apollo 17.
Apollo 13 was the spacecraft that had an oxygen tank explosion, not the lunar module that landed on the moon. The lunar module that landed on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission was called the Eagle, piloted by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
Neil Armstrong commanded Apollo 11 with fellow astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Neil Armstrong walked on the moon on July 21st, 1969 at the Sea of Tranquility after several hours of sitting on the surface in the Lunar Module. With him was Buzz Aldrin, while Michael Collins orbited in the Command and Service Module about 60 miles above the Moon. Neil and Buzz spent approximately 2 hours and 18 minutes doing various experiments, setting up flags, collecting rocks and deploying a primitive version of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) called the "EASEP". 5 flights to land on the moon followed theirs including an aborted landing on Apollo 13. A good movie was made about Apollo 13 called "Apollo 13". Watch it. Hopefully this answer was more detailed than you ever wanted. lol. The guy before me had a really crappy answer...
Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on Apollo 11 Pete Conrad and Alan Bean on Apollo 12 Alan Shepard and Stu Roosa on Apollo 14 Dave Scott and Jim Irwin on Apollo 15 John Young and Charlie Duke on Apollo 16 Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt on Apollo 17. (the Apollo missions before Apollo 11 did not make moon landings and the Apollo 13 mission landing was aborted).
Apollo 11 was the mission that successfully landed the first humans on the moon on July 20, 1969. It was commanded by Neil Armstrong, who famously took the first steps on the lunar surface, followed by Buzz Aldrin.
The twelve men who walked on the lunar surface were: From Apollo 11: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin Apollo 12: Alan Bean, Pete Conrad. Apollo 14: Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell. Apollo 15: James Irwin, David Scott Apollo 16: John Young, Charlie Duke Apollo 17: Harrison Schmitt, Gene Cernan
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first and second persons to ever walk on the surface of the moon. See the related link for more information.
Well, I can give you a few names of men. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went up for Apollo 11 in 1969, first men to walk on moon. Aldrin supports pioneers to Mars. John Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth in 1962. Ed White was the first man to walk in space in 1965 Jim Lovell flew in the Apollo 8 and 13 missons. He was very skilled. Hope that helped.
The three astronauts were Neil Armstrong, Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin and Michael Collins. Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the Moon, while Collins remained in orbit in the command module.AnswerActually what people forget, sadly, is that there were two missions to the moon long before Neil Armstrong's. Apollo 8 was manned by Frank Borman, William Anders and Jim Lovell (who went on to captain Apollo 13). This took place in late Dec 1968 and was the first time anyone had moved out of earth's orbitApollo 9 was a test flight in earth orbit.Apollo 10 was manned by Thomas Stafford, John Young and Eugene Cernan and took place in May 1969 and was a 'dry run' for Apollo 11.Neither of these missions was designed to land on the moon (although the lunar module of Apollo 10 got within 8.4 nauthical miles of the surface) but they were the first official voyages TO the moon, paving the way for the Apollo 11 landing ON the moon later in July 1969.
The Apollo 11 astronauts were Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first to land on the moon. However, the first manned mission to the moon (which did NOT land, but whose astronauts were the first men to see the dark side of the moon directly), was Apollo 8. Its astronauts were James Lovell, Frank Borman, and William Anders.
