Challenger and Columbia shuttles killed 14 astronauts but they were not destined for the Moon. The Space Shuttle only ever orbits the Earth. 3 Apollo 1 astronauts were killed on the launch pad when their cabin caught fire after a spark ignited the oxygen atmosphere they were breathing. No Apollo astronauts were killed after this disaster. Apollo 13 on it's way to the Moon came close but they managed to get all three home.
No female astronaut has ever been to the moon. There have been only 12 Astronauts who have landed on the moon. All of them were men.
no, all the astronauts on the final mission of columbia died during reentry.
Astronauts are exploring the space and the moon , as all of us can not go out there. They are also exploring the space and the moon to find new things.
Approximately 463 astronauts have been to space, but usually there are only three at once - the astronauts on the International Space Station. When the shuttle is on a mission there are a total of ten or eleven people in space.
The early Soyuz and Mercury astronauts found out that man could survive in space. That meant eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom, and even manipulating the spacecraft in space. Astronauts on both sides of the Space Race found out in the mid 1960s that man could work outside the spacecraft with proper restraints. Gemini astronauts performed the first rendezvous and docking in space, an important milestone in reaching the moon. The Apollo astronauts achieved the first manned flight to the moon, showing that man can survive a trip through the Van Allen Belt. Apollo 11 showed man could land on the moon and return safely to the earth. Astronauts on Soviet space stations, Mir, Skylab, and the Space Shuttle showed that man can survive in space for months at a time. They also built the International Space Station, and continue making advances in all scientific areas.
As of 2011, no Canadian astronauts have been to the Moon. All astronauts who have walked on the Moon have been American.
No scientists went to the moon , the men who flew to the moon were all asronauts.
First of all there is gravity on the moon. If there was not astronauts would be floating in space nothing to stand on. Well, the astronauts would know by the first tests on the moon.
Michael Adams reached space and died on the moon that's why all the all the international rules said that he didnt so he did but he died on the moon and the other astronauts had to take him home. one of the astronauts was Roger chaffe and the other one is unknown.
So far the 12 astronauts who walked on the moon were all Americans, no Arab has gone or walked on the moon.
No. All 12 astronauts who walked on the moon were American.
Yes all the Apollo astronauts were men.
So far all the noon landing astronauts were astronauts not artists.
None! Of seven manned Apollo missions to the Moon, using 21 astronauts all together, six missions were successful. Twelve astronauts successfully landed on the Moon, explored it, and returned to earth. Apollo 13 was our greatest successful failure, in that it did not complete its mission but did return its three astronauts. This is all easily researched at www.nasa.gov. I hope this question is from someone very, very young, because it betrays a complete lack of understanding of history.
they used radar waves to make it possible to speak on the big blue cheese moon. All astronauts have to use their helmets to do tat
No female astronaut has ever been to the moon. There have been only 12 Astronauts who have landed on the moon. All of them were men.
At the moment, Astronauts cannot go to any planet but Earth.
