Why is the sea of tranquility chosen for eagle's landing site on the Apollo 11 mission?

The Sea of Tranquility was chosen as the landing site for Apollo 11 because it is a relatively flat and smooth area on the Moon's surface, which reduced the risk of landing complications. Additionally, it provided a safe and stable location for the lunar module to touch down and explore. The site's smoother terrain also made it easier for the astronauts to move around and collect samples.

Which Apollo mission landed the first humans on the Moon?

Apollo 11, which was launched on July 16, 1969, successfully landed astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the Moon on July 20, 1969. Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the lunar surface, followed by Aldrin about 20 minutes later.

Why has the Apollo11 moon-landing been the only landing properly documented to the world?

Apollo 11 was actually the shortest and least documented of the moon landings. As technology improved over the three active landing years they went from a very poor-quality grainy black and white television camera mounted to a static tripod coverage to high quality, color, ground-controlled pan/tilt camera mounted to the lunar rover on Apollo 17.

The fact that people believe Apollo 11 is the only properly documented mission (a "fact" likely gleaned from conspiracy websites) shows that they have done almost zero actual research into the other missions. Even a Wikipedia search of the other missions will reveal large amounts of data. The truth is very readily available and much of it is right here on this website.

Who was the first man to land on the moon and what year was it?

The first man to land on the moon was Neil Armstrong, in 1969 as part of NASA's Apollo 11 mission.

Alan Shepard and his crew was supposed to fly Apollo 13, but he got an ear infection close to the launch, so the crew of Apollo 14 were moved up a place allowing Alan Shepard to fly Apollo 14. The reason the whole crew switched was because they trained with each other and were put together to compliment each others skills.

How did Apollo change space exploration?

The Apollo program changed space exploration in many ways. It landed 12 people on the moon between 1969 and 1972,it helped us further understand what happens in long term missions, it helped develop the first American space station and the most advanced one at the time, and it proved to the world that democracy triumphs over socialism.

How did the Apollo 11 leave space?

After completing its mission on the moon, Apollo 11 utilized its propulsion system to leave lunar orbit and return to Earth. The spacecraft's engines fired to break free from the moon's gravitational pull and begin the journey back home. The spacecraft then carefully calculated its trajectory to re-enter Earth's atmosphere and safely splash down in the ocean.

What was left on the moon after the first landing?

A number of items were left behind after every mission. They left behind trash, their PLiSS's (personal life support system, aka the backpack), science equipment (the Apollo 11 science package was called the EASEP, Early Apollo Scientific Experiment Package, future missions left behind an ALSEP, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package), American Flags, the Descent Stages (the legs) of the Landing Modules, and some personal items which many astronauts have kept to themselves. Apollo's 15, 16, and 17 also left behind the Lunar Rovers.
