In other words, "What are you asking?"

Apollo 8, the mission that went to the Moon without a Lunar Module to test its capabilities in Lunar orbit. Apollo 10, the mission that took the Lunar Module and had to test the mission abort procedure as the astronauts were flying the first stages of the descent, with no intentions of landing.
When did the moon missions end?
July 19th 1996
The last manned mission was in December 1972.
Missions were launched in 2011 and more are planned for the future.

The names of the first men on the moon?
Neil Armstrong was the commander of Apollo 11, and Buzz Aldrin was the Lunar Module pilot. Armstrong guided the Lunar Module, Eagle, to the actual lunar landing, while the LMP fed the commander information such as altitude and speed. This was necessary because the commander had to keep his eyes on the landing site to make sure they landed in a safe place and not in a crater or on a boulder.
The 3rd crewmember, Michael Collins, orbited 60 miles overhead in Colombia while his crewmates landed.
Who is the first Russian man who went to the moon before Armstong did?
No Russian cosmonauts have ever made it to the moon although the Russians have sent a robot to the moon once even before the US made it to the moon.
Was the Apollo 11 flag metal or fabric?
All the Apollo flags were simple, nylon, store-bought flags. They were actually purchased from Sears at the last minute before the LM was sealed for launch readiness preparations.
NASA was not originally going to include a flag on each mission but changed their minds shortly before the A11 launch. As such, they sent three secretaries out during their lunch hour to buy flags, each of them reported they bought flags off the shelf at Sears.
What was the name of the first spacecraft to take humans to the moon?
Launched by the Saturn 5 rocket (the largest rocket ever built), the first spacecraft to take men to the moon was the Apollo spacecraft.
What Apollo assistant minded the shuttle for Armstrong and Aldrin?
Michael Collins was no "assistant". At the time of Apollo 11 he was a veteran test pilot and an astronaut in charge of one of the most important aspects of the lunar mission: rendezvous with the Lunar Module for the return trip.
Today he is an accomplished author, a Brigadier General (Ret) in the USAF, he is the former Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs, he was the Director of the National Air and Space Museum and was undersecretary for the Smithsonian Institution.
His awards include the NASA Distinguished Service Medal, the Air Force Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Force Command Pilot Astronaut Wings, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Congressional Gold Medal.
Relegating his role in the Apollo 11 mission to that of "assistant" is an insult and a disservice to him and his amazing accomplishments, both before, during, and after the mission.
What was the date did the first man land on the moon?
Apollo 11 was the spaceflight which landed the first humans, Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, on the Moon on July 20, 1969, at 20:18 UTC. Armstrong became the first to step onto the lunar surface 6 hours later on July 21 at 02:56 UTC. A third member of the mission, Michael Collins, remained alone in lunar orbit until they returned from the surface about 15 hours later. All 3 returned to Earth safely after travelling in space for 8 days.
How long did Apollo 11's lunar module spend on the moon?
Neil Armstrong walked on the surface for 2hours 36minutes and 40seconds.
Buzz Aldrin walked on the surface approximately 20minutes less than Neil.
The Segment which launched the astronauts back into Lunar orbit was on the surface for 21hours 36minutes and 21seconds.
And the descent stage is still on the Lunar surface today.
Which is the first rocket and the first man who went to the moon?
The first man to put foot on the moon was Neil Armstrong followed shortly by Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. The rocket that took them into Earth orbit was a Saturn V (five). The spacecraft that took them to the moon and into orbit around it was an Apollo and the spacecraft that took them from moon orbit to the surface of the moon was a Lunar Module.
How many astronauts were in the first moon landing?
3. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon while Mike Collins stayed in orbit.
How did Apollo 11 help space exploration?
