Apollo Moon Missions

The Saturn V rocket played a crucial role in the Apollo space program as it was the launch vehicle that propelled astronauts to the Moon. It was the only rocket powerful enough to carry the Apollo spacecraft out of Earth's orbit towards the Moon. Overall, the Saturn V rocket enabled the successful lunar landings of the Apollo program.

Astronauts on the Moon's surface stay grounded due to the Moon's weaker gravity, which is about 1/6th that of Earth. They also wear space suits with weighted boots to help them stay stable and balanced. Additionally, they can use tools like tethers and handrails attached to the lunar lander for further support.

Yes, moon landings really happened. NASA's Apollo missions successfully landed astronauts on the moon between 1969 and 1972, with each mission providing evidence through photographs, samples, and scientific experiments that they reached the lunar surface. Multiple countries and independent sources have also confirmed the authenticity of the moon landings.

The Soviet Union, not Russia, tracked their moon missions using a network of ground-based tracking stations around the world. These stations would receive signals from the spacecraft and helped to maintain communication throughout the mission. Additionally, the spacecraft itself had guidance systems and instruments to navigate the journey to the moon.

No Yuri Gagarin did not walk on the moon. But he only orbited the earth once in the year 1961.

Neil Armstrong met all the requirements and had a desire to fly in space. Because of his work on the X-15 program Neil was actually the only Apollo-era astronaut to have his astronaut pin before joining NASA.

Scientists learned a great deal from the Apollo missions, including the geology of the Moon, the composition of lunar rocks, and the effects of space travel on humans. They also gained insights into the origin and evolution of the Moon, Earth, and the solar system. Additionally, the Apollo missions contributed to advancements in technology and engineering that continue to benefit space exploration today.

The Apollo 11 splashdown occurred on July 24, 1969 at 16:50:35 UTC (12:50pm EDT)

Apollo 11, which launched on July 16, 1969, was the mission that successfully landed the first men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, on the moon on July 20, 1969. Armstrong famously became the first person to walk on the moon's surface.

There were 12 American astronauts who walked on the Moon, two on each of six Apollo missions flown by NASA between 1969 and 1972.

Apollo 11 -

Neil Armstrong (Commander, first person to walk on the Moon)

Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin (Lunar Module pilot)

Apollo 12 -

Charles Conrad, Jr. (Commander)

Alan LaVerne Bean (Lunar Module pilot)

Apollo 14 -

Alan Shepard (Commander, also first US man in space, 1961)

Edgar Mitchell (Lunar Module Pilot)

Apollo 15 -

David Scott (Commander)

James Irwin (Lunar Module pilot)

Apollo 16 -

John Young (Commander)

Charles Duke, Jr. (Lunar Module pilot)

Apollo 17 -

Eugene Cernan (Commander, last man to walk on the moon December 14, 1972)

Dr Harrison Schmitt (Lunar Module Pilot, first scientist-astronaut to land on Moon)

Apollo 11 had necessary components for its lunar mission such as the Lunar Module which landed astronauts on the moon, the Command Module that housed the crew during the mission, and the Saturn V rocket that launched the spacecraft into space. Additionally, it had specialized navigation and communication systems to ensure the success of the mission.

It was not a successful moon mission. But for man and science it was a big success.

YES, without a doubt, American astronauts landed on the moon.

The things that some people are not educated enough to understand, are confusing them. Yes, the flag was held up by a bent wire, so that it would look as though it was waving. But footage shows it being rock-still except when the astronauts are moving it or the flagpole around- or have just done so and it is still settling down. One piece of footage shows an astronaut brushing past the flag, which swings the front edge like a pendulum- it does not billow, as there is no air for it to catch.

The most popular moon pics are the ones that turned out well, so some think the fact that so many moon pics look good, is suspicious. Look up on the Net- there are sites out there that show *all* the lunar pics, and many are duds.

The astronauts landed on the Moon during daylight, but while the Sun was still low and it hadn't heated up. And there are those who think it is suspicious that pictures taken in *broad daylight* have no stars in them!

If you park in the core of the Van Allen belt for a month, you will die. If, like the astronauts, you just shoot through the outer fringe in about an hour, you won't. Most space radiation can be stopped cold by polyethylene shielding, which they had- or even their skin or a few inches of air! people who say it would take "six feet of lead" are either lying or know nothing about the different types of radiation. No astronaut took even 1/500 of a lethal dose during the whole trip. There were no major solar flares during the trip that headed in their direction- precisely as predicted.

Sites like clavius.org or the badastronomy site will help you understand what the less educated don't.

Proof? Well, just try to make a fake moon rock, or find a meteor, that will fool scientists around the world, using techniques undreamed of back then, into thinking it was real. Money is no object, as money won't help. It can't be done. Rocks take many decades to crystallize. If NASA started making rocks on the day they started up, they wouldn't be done now- and they'd have crystals in them distorted by Earth's level of gravity, and show their Earthly origin this way.

Try making fake lunar footage that looks like the real thing. Kubrick couldn't, Disney couldn't, no studio ever has been able to do so. Again, money doesn't help as money can't buy tech like antigravity, which would be needed, which does not exist. And find a studio miles across with a perfect vacuum inside, from which the Rover footage could have been shot! To build one would cost far more than Apollo- and its gravity would still be that of Earth, so that wouldn't work either.

People used telescopes and radio dishes to follow the flights to and from the Moon. Not all of them were in nations friendly to the USA, and would have loved exposing a hoax.

As it was impossible to hoax, and would have been cheaper to actually do, obviously there was no hoax. Yes, we did go to the Moon.

Alan Shepard was born November 18, 1923, and died July 21, 1998, at age 74.

It must be Aquarius.

A total of 12 people have driven moon buggies on the moon. The lunar roving vehicles (moon buggies) were used during the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions to allow astronauts to explore the lunar surface more efficiently.

The mid-year population estimate for 1969 shows there were approximately 3,631,478,167 people on the planet. It is estimated that around 600 million people watched the Apollo 11 landing live on T.V. 600,000,000 / 3,631,478,167 = 0.16522.

Roughly 16.5% of the world population watched the first lunar landing.

They were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin.

Apollo 17 was created and launched by NASA, the United States space agency. It was the final mission of NASA's Apollo program and the last mission to land astronauts on the Moon. The mission took place in December 1972.

No, there are no plans for more Apollo missions. The Apollo program ended in 1972 after the successful moon landings. NASA's focus has shifted to other space exploration missions, such as the Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon and eventually send astronauts to Mars.

There were no deaths associated with the Apollo 13 mission. Despite a critical explosion on board, all three astronauts, James Lovell, John Swigert, and Fred Haise, managed to safely return to Earth. The mission is often remembered for the successful rescue and teamwork involved in bringing the astronauts home.

ECCOM (Emergency Configuration CONtrol) played a crucial role during the Apollo 13 mission by helping the astronauts and ground control navigate the spacecraft's systems and configurations in order to safely return to Earth after the oxygen tank explosion. It assisted in optimizing power usage and facilitating communication between the spacecraft and mission control.

Apollo 13 astronauts were brought back safe to earth, and the only person of the three astronauts to die is John, jack Swigert, he died in 1983 of bone marrow cancer.

Neil Armstrong is the first human ever to set foot on the moon; he did so in 1969, on the Apollo-11 moon landing mission.

Apollo 11 orbited the moon 10 times before landing.
