As far as has been made known to the public, the USA is the only country which so far has landed
human beings on the moon and returned them safely to earth.
The USSR has sent unmanned spacecraft around the moon and back to earth, and has crashed
an unmanned vehicle onto the moon's surface.
As of now, no Indian has landed on the moon. Only three countries have successfully landed on the moon: the United States, the Soviet Union, and China. India does have plans to land on the moon in the future with its Chandrayaan missions.
No. We cannot send manned missions anywhere near that far. The travel time alone would take years.
Yes. There are rocks on the moon. Some were retrieved by the Apollo missions.
It allowed the astronauts a greater speed and range of movemet and enabled them to carry more gear. In addition it was an experiment to see if they could build a vehicle that would operate in null atmosphere.
Eight space missions orbited the moon, carrying 24 astronauts. All were men from the USA who traveled to the moon as part of NASA's Apollo program during the period from 1968 to 1972. Six missions landed on the moon, and their 12 astronauts walked on its surface. No man walked on the moon more than once. And nobody except the 24 astronauts on the eight Apollo missions has ever been farther into space than "low earth orbit".
There have been six Apollo missions that have landed on the moon. But many other unmanned missions.
Other countries do travel to the moon. The initial landing was a race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, to see who could make the giant leap first. Other countries do travel to the moon. The initial landing was a race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, to see who could make the giant leap first.
The space shuttle does not travel to the moon. The Apollo missions used spacecraft, not space shuttles, to travel to the moon. It took the Apollo missions around 3 days to travel from Earth to the moon.
A total of 101 missions have been launched to the Moon by various countries since the 1950s. These missions include both orbiters and landers that have been sent to study the Moon's surface, geology, and composition.
What was the name of the rocket used to travel to the moon?
No. The Space Shuttle were built for near Earth obital missions.
The U.S. has 6. No other countries have flags there.
About 12
No country besides the US has successfully put a man on the moon. The only manned missions to the moon were conducted by NASA's Apollo program.
No, there is overwhelming evidence, including moon rocks brought back during the Apollo missions, that confirm NASA's successful missions to the moon. Multiple countries and independent organizations have also tracked and verified the Apollo missions.
The Apollo missions took about three days to reach the moon from earth orbit
During the early 1970s, when the Apollo missions were going on, it took about 3 days to travel to the Moon. Here in 2010, it will be at least another 10 years before any person will again walk on the Moon, and it will probably be longer.
