Apollo Moon Missions

The spaceship that carried the first men to land on the moon on July 20th, 1969, was called the Apollo 11 spacecraft. It consisted of the command module, Columbia, and the lunar module, Eagle, which landed on the moon's surface with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.

NASA did not build the aircraft for the Apollo missions. Instead, NASA used rockets and spacecraft to send astronauts to the moon during the Apollo program. The Apollo 16 mission used a Saturn V rocket to launch the spacecraft carrying the astronauts.

Apollo 8 astronauts were the first to orbit the Moon in December 1968. They did not land on the Moon, but their mission was crucial in paving the way for future Moon landings.

No, the Apollo 1 capsule was destroyed by fire, killing her entire crew, in January, 1967.

The Apollo moon landing missions came to a close in December, 1972.

Apollo 13 didn't land on the Moon. Due to an explosion on board, the mission was aborted and the spacecraft returned to Earth on April 17, 1970.

The Apollo Guidance Computer used by the Apollo missions had a storage capacity of 72 kilobytes (not megabytes) of read-only memory (ROM) and 2 kilobytes of random-access memory (RAM). This capacity was significantly smaller than what we use today for space missions.

The country that second had men land on the moon was the United States. The first country to have men land on the moon was the United States in 1969 with the Apollo 11 mission, followed by the Soviet Union's Luna 2 mission in 1959.

A total of 12 astronauts have walked on the moon as part of the Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972.

Some people believe the moon landing was fake due to conspiracy theories that suggest the footage was staged or altered. These theories often point to perceived inconsistencies in the footage, photographs, and technology used during the Apollo missions. However, overwhelming evidence from multiple sources, including NASA and independent scientists, confirms the authenticity of the moon landing.

The Apollo 11 mission landed the first humans on the Moon. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Mission Commander Neil Alden Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Eugene 'Buzz' Aldrin, Jr. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above.

The first moon landing, Apollo 11, took off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 16, 1969.

Apollo 11 traveled to the moon at an average speed of about 3,600 kilometers per hour (2,237 miles per hour) during its three-day journey.

The first people to go to the moon were astronauts Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders, they went to the moon in the Apollo8 spacecraft. It was the first test of the Saturn 5 rocket, the test was to see if it could reach the moon. They circled the moon three times during Christmas 1968.

Neil Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the moon on July 20, 1969 during the Apollo 11 mission.

The typical garb is a 1-piece Nomex coverall "flight suit". Of course, if they are about to perform Extra-Vehicular Activity in space they will need to don an EVA suit.

The first moon landing happened on July 20, 1969, when NASA's Apollo 11 mission successfully landed astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the lunar surface. Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the Moon, with his famous words "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind".

There have been several rockets used to go to, or orbit around, the moon. They've been launched by the US, the USSR (now Russia), China, Japan, and India.

Which moon rocket are you referring to, from which country?

To date no astronomers have landed on the moon. The only scientist to walk the surface is Jack Schmitt, a geologist.

The Apollo 1 mission took place at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, United States. The spacecraft caught fire during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967, resulting in the deaths of astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee.

Neil Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission on July 20, 1969.

When a report asked Gene Kranz (flight director during the Apollo 13 mission) how long the radio blackout lasted during reentry, he statedPer my mission log it started at 142:39 and ended at 142:45- a total of six minutes. Blackout was 1:27 longer than predicted…. Toughest minute and a half we ever had.

They were originally planned through Apollo 20, but the last three were cut ,leaving the total number of manned missions at 10 (of which 6 were successful moon landings)

Gemini had two man crews and their objectives were to learn how to fly, navigate, rendezvous, and dock spacecraft while in orbit. In addition, they had to learn how to work outside of the spacecraft in zero gravity and discover the long term impacts of spending the amount of time in space it would require to go to the moon and back. All of these mission objectives built a knowledge base which then allowed the US to do all the things we needed to do in order to complete a mission to the moon

The Apollo program had three man crews and their objective was to take the collected knowledge of the Mercury and Gemini programs and fly to the moon and land there. Once there their objectives were to conduct scientific research about the origin and geological make up of the moon.

There were no astronaut fatalities in the Gemini program.

Two of the three astronauts who died in the Apollo-1 accident had been in the Gemini program.
These were Gus Grissom, and Ed White; Roger Chaffee was also killed in the Apollo-1 accident.

There is no evidence to suggest that Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, had an affair. Armstrong was known for being a private and dedicated astronaut who focused on his career and family.
