Well, you see, during all of the years that the design and development project
was going on to take men to the moon, there was also a similar design and
development project going on with the purpose of bringing them back.
When it was time to launch Apollo 11, they put it all together, and launched three
astronauts toward the moon ... don't forget Michael Collins. He went into orbit
around the moon with Armstrong and Aldrin, but he didn't descend to the lunar
surface with them.
Armstrong and Aldrin dropped down to the surface of the moon, stayed there for a
while, then came back to orbit, joined up with Collins again, and all three of them
returned to Earth. They all lived happily ever after, and 42 years later, in mid-2011,
they're all alive and well.
Every Apollo astronaut who was launched and got as far as Earth-orbit returned
safely to Earth, including all of the ones who walked on the moon.

Who was the third person to go on the rocket ship with neil Armstrong?
Michael Collins was the third member of Apollo 11 with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Collins was unable to go to the moon in the Apollo 11 mission because the lander could only fit two people, and the command module was not able to run on auto-pilot for the mission-critical activities such as rendezvous and docking of the LM. Instead he was in the Columbia, orbiting the moon.

What did Neil Armstrong do in project Gemini?
Neil Armstrong served as backup commander and Capsule Communicator for the 8 day Gemini 5 mission. Buzz Aldrin was also a Capcom for Gemini 5. As backup for Gemini 8, Armstrong fell into the position of Commander of Gemini 8. Most of the crews who were backups rotated to prime 3 missions later. Armstrong's backup Co-Pilot for Gemini 5 was Elliott See. However NASA felt that See should be Commander of his own flight and was assigned to Command Gemini 9, and Dave Scott replaced See on Gemini 8. During Gemini 8, Armstrong performed the first docking between 2 vehicles in space when he docked with an unmanned Agena vehicle. A few hours after docking, the 2 vehicles began an uncontrolled spin, turning one revolution every second. On the verge of blacking out, Armstrong was able to bring his vehicle under control. The flight rules dictated that Armstrong bring the vehicle back to earth on the next revolution. He performed the only emergency landing in NASA history. Had he not been able to gain control of the vehicle, the 2 astronauts would have blacked out and died. They were beginning to get tunnel vision when Armstrong gained control Tunnel vision is the begining of blacking out. Armstrong's performance during Gemini 8 put him at the top of the list of astronauts to make the first landing on the moon. Following Gemini 8, Armstrong became the backup commander of Gemini 11. He was the backup commander for Apollo 8. He did not fly again until Apollo 11. Apollo 11 was his last spaceflight.

When people went to the moon were there any scary parts?
When people went to the moon they where a little scared that they could died. But they did not die on the way to the moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first people on the moon. Neil said" one big step" when they landed on the moon. The scariest part of the moon missions came in Apollo 13. An explosion on the spaceship on the way to the moon made it very difficult for the astronauts to make it safely back to the earth. They were finally able to return safely, but it was very scary for a few days.
