How many people were astronauts when the first people landed on the moon?
Before you can land on the moon, or even survive in space or the space craft, you need years and years of training. Also, you need special suits which only places like NASA have. So you need to become an astronaut before you can train to get the qualifications to fly to outer space.

Who were the first man to land on the moon in 1969?
Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin of NASA's Apollo 11 mission were the first men to land on the moon on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong was the first to set foot on the lunar surface, followed by Buzz Aldrin.
When did the first American man land on the moon and what was his name?
It wasn't a man who landed on the moon, it was 2 men.
On Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first men to land on the moon on July 20, 1969. Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon. Aldrin followed him out 22 minutes later.
Yes, the Apollo 18 mission was canceled. Some People refer to the Apollo Soyuz Test Project as Apollo 18, but the original plans for 18 were canceled
Why was Apollo 17 the last mission?
Apollo 17 was the final mission of NASA's Apollo program because of budget cuts, shifting priorities, and a declining public interest in further manned moon missions. The focus of space exploration shifted towards the development of the Space Shuttle program and other projects.
Who designed the lunar module tires for the Apollo Moon Missions?
The lunar module tires for the Apollo Moon Missions were designed by The Bendix Corporation, an American manufacturing and engineering company. They were specially designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the lunar surface and provide traction for the lunar module during landing and exploration.

Who funded the Apollo missions?
The Apollo missions were funded by the United States government, primarily through NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). The funding came from federal budgets allocated for space exploration during the 1960s and 1970s.
Is Apollo 18 a real moom launch?
Eliminate the Impossible- nothing in the film was beyond probability except possibly the alien attack, whatever is left standing, however improbable, Must be the Truth- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, known as Doyle"s postulates. I agree it could have happened as described in the film, which shows NASA in a very bad light and was rated NO STARS by the Daily News, unique in movie-dom as far as I can recall.
What was the exact date of the first man that manned the moon?
The exact date was June 20, 1969 at 10:56 P.M. E.S.T.
What was purpose of mercury Gemini and Apollo missions?
The purpose of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions was to develop and test the technologies and capabilities needed to send astronauts to the Moon and safely return them to Earth. Each program built upon the achievements and lessons learned from the previous one, with Mercury laying the foundation, Gemini focusing on developing skills for spacewalks and rendezvous, and Apollo ultimately achieving the goal of landing humans on the Moon.
Which Apollo mission landed the first humans on the Moon?
Apollo 11, which was launched on July 16, 1969, successfully landed astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the Moon on July 20, 1969. Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the lunar surface, followed by Aldrin about 20 minutes later.
Why has the Apollo11 moon-landing been the only landing properly documented to the world?
Apollo 11 was actually the shortest and least documented of the moon landings. As technology improved over the three active landing years they went from a very poor-quality grainy black and white television camera mounted to a static tripod coverage to high quality, color, ground-controlled pan/tilt camera mounted to the lunar rover on Apollo 17.
The fact that people believe Apollo 11 is the only properly documented mission (a "fact" likely gleaned from conspiracy websites) shows that they have done almost zero actual research into the other missions. Even a Wikipedia search of the other missions will reveal large amounts of data. The truth is very readily available and much of it is right here on this website.
What was the name of the first US mission to orbit the moon?
Apollo 8 was the first mission to orbit the moon. Its crew was Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders.
What were the names of the 2 projects before project Apollo?
The two projects before project Apollo were Project Mercury and Project Gemini. Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program in the United States, while Project Gemini was the second program that focused on developing space travel techniques to prepare for the Apollo missions to the moon.
Apollo 4 did not fail; it was the first unmanned test flight of the Apollo program and it was successful. Apollo 4 was launched on November 9, 1967, and it demonstrated the capabilities of the Saturn V rocket, the Command Module, and the reentry system.
Who was the fourth women to go to the moon?
No women have been to the moon. As of now, only male astronauts have traveled to the moon.
What were the names of the men on Apollo 18?
Warren Christie as Lunar Module Pilot Captain Benjamin "Ben" Anderson
Lloyd Owen as Commander Nathan "Nate" Walker
Ryan Robbins as Command Module Pilot Lieutenant Colonel John Grey
What were the names of the four astronauts that were on Apollo 18?
Three - Warren Christie as Lunar Module Pilot Captain Benjamin "Ben" Anderson
Lloyd Owen as Commander Nathan "Nate" Walker
Ryan Robbins as Command Module Pilot Lieutenant Colonel John Grey
After the lunar landing of Apollo 11 in 1969, nine more lunar missions were planned. But in 1970, Apollo missions 18, 19, and 20 were cancelled. It is said that Apollo 18 was supposed land near the lunar south pole, which is shown in the movie.
When did astronauts reach the moon for the first time?
Three men were the first to go to the "vicinity" of the Moon, on the Apollo 8 mission that orbited the Moon on December 24, 1968. The astronauts were Frank Borman, James Lovell, and Willliam Anders.
After Apollo 10 successfully orbited to test the Lunar Lander in May, 1969, the Apollo 11 mission became the first to take men to the lunar surface.
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed the Eagle at the Sea of Tranquility basin on July 20, 1969. Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the Moon, followed by Aldrin. Between 1969 and 1972, five more missions landed on the surface, for a total of 12 men who explored on the lunar surface.
The Apollo program aimed to land humans on the Moon and return them safely to Earth, which was accomplished with Apollo 11. There were plans for Apollo 2 and 3, but they were canceled to focus on perfecting the technology and techniques needed for landing on the Moon. Skipping directly to Apollo 4 allowed NASA to begin testing the hardware for the lunar missions.
How many lunar rover vehicles are still on the moon?
Three from the Apollo missions and two from the Soviet Unions Moon Walker program, so five total.
What Apollo exploded at take off?
The Apollo 13 mission experienced an explosion during takeoff in 1970. An oxygen tank in the service module ruptured, causing the explosion that led to a critical situation for the crew. Thankfully, the astronauts were able to safely return to Earth after a challenging series of events.
