Apollo Moon Missions

Although there is gravity on the Moon, the flag had wire strips in it to stop it falling down. This also allowed the flag to look like it was "waving".

The Apollo 11 mission flag fell over due to the exhaust blast of the returning flight.

The only Apollo missions that were designed to go to the moon were Apollo 8,10,11,12,13,14,15,16and 17. The others were test missions or missions within earth's own orbit. They all reached the moon without exception. Apollo 8 and 10 were designed to reach the moon, but not to land. Instead their mission was to test equipment and to search out possible landing sites. They were successful in this. Apollo 13 was designed to land on the moon, but because of an explosion on board, was unable to land. Instead it reached the moon and used the moon's gravity to perform a 'slingshot' manoever and return to earth in an emergency rescue. The rest of the Apollo missions (11,12,14,15,16,17) all landed on the moon as planned.

The exact time a spacecraft lands on the moon depends on its trajectory and mission plan. The Apollo missions typically landed on the moon in the lunar morning, which provided better lighting for visibility and thermal control. The landing phase usually occurred around dawn on the moon's surface.

Neil Armstrong descended to the surface on 02:56 UTC on July 21.

You can watch the moon landings on websites like NASA's official YouTube channel or the NASA website, as well as on streaming platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video that may have documentaries on the subject.

Apollo 11 spacecraft splashed down safely in the Pacific ocean, and were picked up by the Aircraft carrier The Hornet.

Apollo 11 launched on July 16, 1969 at 9:32 a.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The first successful flight to the moon was Apollo 11 in 1969. It took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, FLA.

Assuming Apollo 11.

According to Wiki the landing occurred at 20:17 UTC on July 20 1969. Neil Armstrong descended to the surface on 02:56 UTC on July 21.

The Apollo missions, which landed man on the moon, were part of the United States' space race against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Landing on the moon was a significant achievement showcasing technological and scientific prowess while demonstrating superiority in space exploration. Additionally, it was a symbolic victory and a way to inspire and unite the nation during a turbulent time.

What date and year man landed on the moon?

Answer: On the 20th of July, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldwin landed on the moon.

Neil Armstrong was the first man to be on the moon, then Buzz Aldwin was the second.

As Neil Armstrong set feet on the moon, he said his famous words, they were: "Thats one small step for man, one giant leap for man-kind.

different opinions on this issue. The US went to the moon as a show of superiority to the Russians. Times were different then and as history shows, the world was turning either toward democracy or communism. The Space race (to the moon) preceeded the nuclear arms race. since the goal was achieved, there was no 'political will' to return. The other simple answer is that it is too expensive to go.

Apollo 9 was a manned spaceflight mission in 1969 that tested the Lunar Module (LM) in Earth orbit for the first time. The mission was successful in demonstrating the operation of the LM and its ability to rendezvous and dock with the Command Module (CM). It was a critical step in NASA's preparations for the upcoming Apollo 11 mission that landed humans on the Moon.

There is voluminous proof at NASA that the Apollo missions (1968-1972) landed men on the Moon in 6 out of 7 attempts. Astronomical observations show the landers, even the rover tracks left behind. The technology to fake the VIDEO evidence existed in 1969, but worldwide monitoring of the missions cannot all have been falsified, nor the detailed photographs and rock materials brought back.

The last Apollo moon mission was Apollo 17, that launched on December 7 1972 and returned to Earth on December 19 1972.

There were 6 missions to the moon, and 12 men walked on the moon.

Apollo space capsules are white on the ground to help reflect sunlight and heat, as they spend a lot of time on launch pads exposed to the sun. Once in space, the white paint would have no significant benefit, so they are left in their natural silver color to reduce the weight of the capsule.

Yes, the Apollo astronauts could take their suits off when they were inside the lunar module or the command module. However, they had to wear their spacesuits when they were outside the spacecraft, such as during moonwalks or spacewalks.

Apollo 1 and her crew were destroyed in an electrical fire on board the spacecraft during a training session while on the launch pad. Gus Grissom, Ed White - the first US citizen to walk in space, and Roger Chaffee lost their lives within minutes, well before anyone could open the cumbersome hatch or even get close enough to the craft due to the intense heat.

The training session had been plagued with problems, and Grissom was furious at the multiple problems the craft had. After the fire, the entire craft design was overhauled and the extra safety features quite likely preserved the Apollo 13 mission when the cabins became saturated in condensation, and it is thought the attention to insulating the wiring after the Apollo 1 fire prevented serious problems on Apollo13.

Apollo 1 is the official name that was later given to the never-flown AS-204 mission. Its command module was destroyed by fire killing the 3 astronauts aboard during a test and training exercise on January 27, 1967

AS-203, and umanned flight of the Saturn 1B rocket, is sometimes called Apollo 2. AS-202, a suborbital flight is sometimes called Apollo 3. However, the first official Apollo flight to fly was Apollo 4, the first flight of the Saturn V rocket. Apollo 4 was unmanned.

The first manned Apollo flight was Apollo 7, an 11 day low earth orbit mission.

Six.

Apollo 11, 1969, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins

Apollo 12, 1969, Charles (Pete) Conrad, , Alan Bean, Richard Francis Gordon

Apollo 14, 1971, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, Stuart Roosa

Apollo 15, 1971, David Scott, James Irwin, Alfred Worden

Apollo 16, 1972, John Young, Charles Duke, Thomas Mattingly

Apollo 17, 1972, Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt, Ronald Evans

In call cases, two men landed while the third circled.

The first moon landing in 1969 was not faked. It was accomplished by the Apollo 11 mission, led by NASA, and astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. There is substantial evidence, including moon rocks and lunar module trajectories, to support the authenticity of the mission.

While I personally believe that humans have actually stepped foot on the moon I am more than willing to provide a theoretical situation as to why America might have faked such a historic moment.

One of the most important aspects to remember would be the time period in which this occurred. The late 1960's and early 1970's was a time period in which the Cold War was reaching its climax. The Cuban Missile crisis had just been resolved as the world narrowly escaped a nuclear war. The Soviets were well ahead of America in the space race, having already put both man and machine into orbit years before we did. And among all of this John F. Kennedy had set forth a decree to reach the moon by the end of the decade (the '60s that is). So needless to say, if the Soviets had beaten America to the moon our government would've looked like a bunch of incompetent fools, which in the world of politics is a fate worse than death. Had we been unsuccessful in achieving the goal of winning the space race the natural choice would be to let the world's greatest fakers, Hollywood, give us a little boost if you will. Not only to save face but also as an act of global supremacy. America was looking weaker and weaker in the global community. And as history has shown so many times, weakness leads to collapse and inevitable downfall.

So, in short, the moon landing whether you believe it happened on the moon of a Hollywood set is, in my opinion, one of the key victories for America during the Cold War and that is why it would have been faked if necessary.

Twelve people have walked on the moon as part of the Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972. They are Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Charles Conrad, Alan Bean, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, David Scott, James Irwin, John Young, Charles Duke, Eugene Cernan, and Harrison Schmitt.

The three-stage Saturn V rocket was used in the Apollo launches of the 1960s and 1970s. It stood 111 m/365 ft high, as tall as a 30-story skyscraper, weighed 2,700 tons when loaded with fuel, and developed a power equivalent to 50 Boeing 747 jumbo jets.
