Apollo Moon Missions

because he is so cool.

jokes

he was chosen because of his space experience before that and so people at NASA where like who has pretty good acting skills (for the moon scene walk) and made up a crash landing story n all that n yer. he was cool

The mission commander on the Apollo 11 space mission was Neil Armstrong. He was the first person to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, followed by Buzz Aldrin.

Command Module Pilot Stuart Roosa remained in orbit in the "Kitty Hawk" while Commander Alan Shepard and Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell landed the "Antares" in the "Fra Mauro" formation on February 5th of 1971. They had launched on January 31st and returned to the Earth on February 9th.

Two Apollo missions were unsuccessful: Apollo 1, which ended in a cabin fire during a pre-launch test in 1967, and Apollo 13, which experienced an oxygen tank explosion in 1970 but managed to return safely to Earth.

Neil Armstrong collected about 47.5 pounds (21.5 kilograms) of moon rock during the Apollo 11 mission. This rock and soil were brought back to Earth for scientific study.

The following Apollo mission each brought moon rocks back to earth, they were Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17.

No the Apollo 13 astronauts were not killed , they returned to the earth in the lunar module.

The Apollo missions generally launched to the Moon and took about 3 days to reach its orbit before landing. The journey back to Earth took another 3 days. So, in total, it took about 6 days for Apollo missions to travel to space and back.

Apollo 13 traveled in a spacecraft called the Command Module Odyssey, which was part of the Apollo program conducted by NASA. The Command Module housed the astronauts and provided a safe environment for them during their journey to and from the Moon.

The Luna 2 spacecraft crash-landed in the Sea of Serenity on the Moon's surface in 1959.

The first astronauts to go in a Apollo spacecraft after the fire were Walter Schirra, Walter Cunningham and a third astronaut to test the new craft after the fire.

Walter Schirra becomes the only man to fly in a Mercury, Gemini and a Apollo spacecraft.

The Saturn V rockets used by NASA during the Apollo missions stood at a height of 363 feet (111 meters).

The crew members of Apollo 13 were commander Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert Fred Haise. Originally Thomas K.Mattingly was supposed to have gone but Mattingly caught measles and Swigert took his place.

The 6 missions were all in different places on the moon.

Apollo 11 - The Sea of Tranquility

Apollo 12 - The Ocean of Storms

Apollo 14 - Fra Mauro

Apollo 15 - Hadley Appenine

Apollo 16 - Descarte Highlands

Apollo 17 - Tarus Littrow

He played Gary Sinise, but don't remember how big a part that was.

After their safe return to Earth, the astronauts of Apollo 13 underwent debriefings, medical examinations, and received hero's welcomes. They continued to work for NASA, with some participating in subsequent space missions while others pursued different career paths. They are often remembered for their remarkable teamwork and ingenuity in overcoming the challenges of the mission.

Apollo 13 did not land on the moon because an oxygen tank exploded in the service module, leading to a loss of power, water, and life support systems. The mission had to be aborted, and the focus shifted to safely returning the astronauts back to Earth.

The Apollo mission with the main engine failure that prevented a moon landing was Apollo 13. The crew, led by Jim Lovell, successfully aborted the mission and returned safely to Earth in a dramatic and heroic effort.

Apollo 7 was the first crewed mission of the Apollo program and launched from Earth. It was the first time astronauts tested the lunar module, the Command and Service Module, and the rendezvous procedures in space.

The three astronauts, Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee, died in a fire during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967, while preparing for the Apollo 1 mission.

Just one- the United States of America, for a total of twelve men on six missions, the first one in 1969, the final one in 1972.

It is not supposed it very much was done by N.A.S.A the men were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin.

At 9:32AM eastern time on July 16, 1969.

Men went to the moon as part of the Apollo space program to demonstrate American technological and scientific prowess during the Space Race with the Soviet Union. The mission helped advance space exploration and our understanding of the universe.
