Apollo Moon Missions

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.

The exact date was June 20, 1969 at 10:56 P.M. E.S.T.

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.

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.

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.

Apollo 8 was the first mission to orbit the moon. Its crew was Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders.

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.

No women have been to the moon. As of now, only male astronauts have traveled to the moon.

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.

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.

Three from the Apollo missions and two from the Soviet Unions Moon Walker program, so five total.

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.

NASA was still a young agency when Apollo was introduced. The first space program was Mercury, whose mission was to launch astronauts, one at a time, into space and then into orbit.

Following Mercury was the Gemini program. Gemini spacecraft held two astronauts and saw was the first to really start with science and gear experiments. It was during Gemini that Ed White became the first American to perform an EVA (spacewalk).

Apollo directly followed Gemini, and the Space Shuttle program followed Apollo.

Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon, with Buzz Aldrin being the second, on July 20, 1969 (US time). But they were on the Apollo 11 mission, not Apollo 13.

Apollo 13, launched on April 11, 1970, had an onboard explosion that prevented a lunar landing. Instead, they circled the Moon and safely returned to Earth. It was the only inflight failure of the 9 Apollo missions to the Moon.

there were 9 Apollo trips to the moon:

A-8, A-10, A-11, A-12, A-13, A-14, A-15, A-16 and A-17.

Each Apollo mission carried three men, so 9 x 3 =27.

BUT, 3 of those 27 went twice, so 27 - 3 = 24 individual men.

As far as landings on the moon, there were only 6 landings, which carried 2 men each time, so 6 x 2= 12 people who've walked on the moon (so far).

Not sure I understand this question, but if you're asking if Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon with his right foot first, the answer is no, he stepped onto the moon with his left foot first.

No, NASA has provided extensive evidence to confirm the authenticity of the Apollo moon landings, including photos, videos, moon rocks, and testimonies from astronauts and scientists. Conspiracies claiming the landings were faked have been widely debunked by experts in various fields.

The moon landings were filmed on the lunar surface by the astronauts themselves using specially designed cameras. The footage was then transmitted back to Earth where it was broadcast to the world.

The Apollo program changed space exploration in many ways. It landed 12 people on the moon between 1969 and 1972,it helped us further understand what happens in long term missions, it helped develop the first American space station and the most advanced one at the time, and it proved to the world that democracy triumphs over socialism.

A Saturn V rocket, developed by a NASA team lead by Wernher von Braun. The Saturn IB rocket was also used.

The lunar rover, (or LRV, Lunar Roving Vehicle) was brought on the last three missions in order to extend the working area of the crew. Without the LRV, the astronauts could only travel about a mile from the lander (the LM), and they had to carry all their tools and the return samples. With the LRV they could treavel many miles in a much shorter time frame, carry more tools, and return more samples. An added benefit is that it gave NASA a mounting point for a TV camera that could be controlled from Earth, which is why we have so much fantastic video of the last three missions.
