When did Eugene Cernan land on the moon?
11th of December 1972. I learnt this answer for my homework so I am pretty sure its true!
What was the name of the rocket that brought the astronauts to the moon?
The name of the rocket was the "Saturn V" It was a 3 stage rocket
Scientists continue to study the moon to learn more about its formation, evolution, and its potential resources, as well as to gain insights into the early history of our solar system. Various types of data collected include high-resolution images, gravity measurements, mineral composition analyses, surface temperature mapping, and studies on its atmosphere and seismic activities.
How did Apollo 13 astronauts fix the problem of the oxygen leaking?
The Apollo 13 astronauts fixed the problem of the oxygen leak by improvising a makeshift filter using materials they had available on the spacecraft. They used duct tape, a sock, and other materials to create a device that helped remove carbon dioxide from the air, allowing them to conserve enough oxygen to survive the journey back to Earth.
How high was the Apollo 11 spacecraft?
The Saturn V rocket stood at 363 ft (110.6m) and weighed 6,699,000 lbs (3,038,500 kg)
Why is neil Armstrong's quote important?
Well, it just about summed up a generation worth of triumph,tragedy, successes and failures.
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"
It also compares the literal to the figurative. Literally, Armstrong made a small step off the LEM, figuratively that one small step was as important as inventing the wheel or discovering fire, because it was SUPPOSED to "leap mankind" into the next generation of humanity, that involved space exploration, regular visits to the Moon, Mars and beyond, new science and engineering, among many other things.
The real question is "why didn't that happen?"
I hope I am not answering a homework assignment for someone here, Neil Armstrong, NASA, the Apollo Project are all topics of amazing wonderment, I suggest you google around or visit NASA.gov for more of the story of the greatest event in humankind, ever.
What are the names of the Apollo missions?
Some notable Apollo missions include Apollo 11 (first successful moon landing), Apollo 13 (mission that experienced an oxygen tank explosion), and Apollo 17 (final manned moon landing mission). There were a total of 17 Apollo missions.
What was the name of the commander of Apollo 13?

What toy did the Apollo 8 take with them to space?
The Apollo 8 astronauts took along a small 3-inch tall figurine of a Snoopy character from the Peanuts comic strip created by Charles Schulz, acting as a mascot for their mission. "Snoopy" is still recognized as a symbol of space exploration today.
During Apollo 11 man walked on the moon for the first time.
Why were Apollo 11 astronauts kept in isolation for 17 days?
The Apollo 11 astronauts were kept in isolation for 21 days to prevent the spread of any potential contaminants they may have encountered on the Moon. This was done to ensure they did not bring back any harmful microbes that could put the Earth's population at risk.
What was the job of the Lunar Modules and where are they now?
The Lunar Modules were spacecraft designed to land astronauts on the moon during NASA's Apollo program. They were left on the moon's surface after each mission, so they are still there today, with no plans for retrieval.
What was the date of the peoples first moon landing?
The first moon landing by humans was on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first people to walk on the moon.
What was the name of the main capsule on Apollo 13?
The command module was named "Odyssey", and the Lunar Module "Aquarius."
Where did Apollo 11 travel to?
Apollo 11 traveled to Earth's moon. It was the first successful shuttle to make it to the moon. Aboard this shuttle were astronaunts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Alrdin, two men who became famous because of this. They planted the American flag that is still there to this day.
Which Apollo mission was made into a movie?
The Apollo 13 mission was made into a movie and released in 1995. It included Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Ed Harris, Gary Sinsie, and more. It is based on the true story of the moon-bound mission that ran into dangerous problems and the dedicated, hard-working men who brought their astronaunts home safely.
The following men have walked on the moon:
~Neil Armstrong
~Buzz Aldrin
~Pete Conrad
~Alan Bean
~Alan Shepard
~Edgar Mitchell
~David Scott
~James Irwin
~John W. Scott
~Charles Duke
~Eugene Cernan
~Harison Schmitt
How many lunar orbits did John Young do alone on Apollo 10?
John Watts Young, made three orbits in the first manned Gemini flight, Gemini 3.
What is the first food eaten in the moon?
In 1962 John Glenn ate applesauce packed in a tube, and sugar tablets in water to demonstrate that people could eat, swallow, and digest food in a weightless environment. However, this was not on the moon.
The three men on board during were Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Edward H. White II, and Roger B. Chaffee
How did the Apollo 11 picture make it to earth?
if you are asking about the live television footage, the signal was sent via radio waves from an antenna on the LM and received by the Parkes radio telescope in Australia.
If you are asking about the still pictures, they were brough home by the astronauts and developed on site at NASA.
