Buzz Aldrin took communion about 10 minutes after the landing. He ate a wafer host and washed it down with a small thinble full of wine.
Apollo 8 astronauts were the first to view the cratrs on the moon, Apollo 11 astronauts had a vey close view as they walked on the moon.
No. Thanks to some amazing jerry-rig technical advice from Ground Control, all three made it back safely. Jack Swigert died of cancer in 1982, 12 years after the flight. As of August 2011, Jim Lovell and Fred Haise are still alive.
The first lunar landing took place in the sea of tranquility.
The Apollo 8 astronauts Jim Lovell, Frank Borman and William Anders were the first men to orbit the moon, they were aldso the first men to see the back side or dark side of the moon. As we can only see one side.
The original video tape recording of the first steps on the moon by Apollo 11 astronauts was not physically lost but was accidental erased and recycled by NASA. In 2009, other copies of the footage were used to produce a restored version in time for the 40th anniversary of the moon landing.
Apollo 8 was the first one to send astronauts to orbit the moon, but they did not land on it. Apollo 11 was the first manned lunar landing.
The mission that took the first astronauts to the moon was Apollo 11. The actual landing module that carried the crew to the surface was codenamed Eagle.
The Apollo 11 moon landing occurred on July 20th, 1969. Neil Armstrong was the first astronaut to touch the surface after landing was complete.
The program's name was Apollo, and accomplished the first manned landing on the Moon with Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969.
The Apollo program sent astronauts to the Moon from 1968 to 1972, with the first landing made by Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969. No human has been to the Moon since 1972.
On the first manned lunar landing, in the lander Eagle on July 20, 1969, there were two astronauts: Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. They became the first and second men to walk on the Moon. The five following missions (Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17) likewise included landing teams of two astronauts.
Neil Armstrong flew his mission with Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins. This was not the first lunar mission, however, but it was the first lunar landing. Apollo 8 had orbited the moon in December of 1968, and Apollo 10 astronauts flew the lunar lander within 50 miles of the moon's surface as a test flight for Apollo 11's first moon landing attempt.
The names of the first lunar landing astronauts were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin.
The first moon landing by Apollo 11 was on July 20, 1969. The final moon landing by Apollo 17 was on December 11, 1972. The Apollo 17 Lunar Module departed the Moon on December 15, 1972, and no human has set foot on the Moon since.
The Apollo program landed astronauts on the Moon. There were six landing missions between July 1969 and December 1972. Twelve astronauts in total explored the lunar surface and obtained rock samples.
The first lunar landing mission was Apollo 11, which sent astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the lunar surface on July 20, 1969.
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.
