Apollo Moon Missions

The number of people that can fit in a spacecraft varies depending on the spacecraft's size and design. The capacity can range from 2-3 astronauts in smaller spacecraft like the Soyuz, up to 7-8 astronauts in larger spacecraft like the SpaceX Crew Dragon or NASA's Orion.

The first three people to land on the moon were Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Armstrong and Aldrin were the two astronauts to walk on the lunar surface, while Collins remained in lunar orbit aboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft.

Apollo 13 experienced a critical failure during its journey to the moon in 1970, when an oxygen tank exploded. The crew successfully aborted the mission and returned safely to Earth, showcasing NASA's ability to adapt and problem-solve in emergencies.

Yes they did. By using the Lunar Module (LM or LEM) built to land on the surface of the moon as a lifeboat. The crippled command module and the damaged service module had to be shut down to conserve power and resources for the astrnauts to survive.

Neil Armstrong is known for being the first person to walk on the Moon on July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission. He famously declared, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Armstrong's historic achievement solidified his place in history as a pioneering astronaut and a symbol of human exploration.

Apollo 17 stayed on the moon the longest, with astronauts Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spending about 75 hours on the lunar surface in December 1972. This mission also holds the record for the longest total lunar surface extravehicular activities (EVAs) time, with over 22 hours spent outside the lunar module.

Bits of rock and dust and the word of the people that say they were there they also left hardware behind including their wheels. so to find definite proof you would have to go and have a look yourself or send out a probe with a camera to check it out in real time.

The first manned mission to space was called Vostok 1 and was launched by the Soviet Union on April 12, 1961. It carried cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into orbit around the Earth, making him the first human to travel to space.

The first person to make a lunar landing on the moon was Neil Armstrong, an American astronaut and the commander of the Apollo 11 mission. Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969, with his famous words, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

During a manned mission, you have to keep the man alive and coherent. This means taking food, air, and water into space, as well as designing the spacecraft with enough empty space to be occupied by the human body and a mission timeline that allows for sleeping and rest of the crew member. Secondly, a mission failure means potential loss of human life. None of these provisions need to be taken into account for robotic missions.

The lunar rovers used in the Apollo missions, such as the Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle, weighed about 460 pounds (210 kilograms).

The last men to walk on the moon were NASA astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt as part of the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972. They spent approximately three days on the moon's surface conducting experiments and collecting samples.

Yes, they did. There are things on the Net which could make an unwary person think there were no Moon missions, including a supposed lack of any disturbance of soil under the lander and the wrong shadows. Or at least that's what the spoofers say. Most seem to know better, they simply enjoy misleading people. Some even fake up and alter footage etc. and post it on YouTube.

Actually, the things that "tend to disprove" it are simple things that the hoax believers just don't understand. Go to clavius.org or badastronomy.com and they will explain what the Moonhoaxers misunderstand. Then go to Wikipedia and search for "third party evidence of Apollo". Yes, they really went to the moon!

The shadows aren't wrong, for example; people simply don't understand what they are seeing. Go out in the Sun, and look around. Objects in the distance will seem to be casting shadows at a different angle than your own shadow. Your shadow will change, if you are on raised or lowered ground. When people see these identical things happening in the Apollo pix, they think it means the pix are faked!

As to the dust under the lander... the engine was barely ticking over on landing, and literally pushed on the lunar surface far less than a leaf blower pushes on your sidewalk. It blew away a lot of the dust, leaving the hard rock layer beneath undisturbed. People think the engine should have drilled a crater underneath, but your leaf blower doesn't leave craters in the sidewalk, does it? For some reason people look at the maximum output of the engine, as if this had some bearing on what was going on at landing. Your car may go 80, but you don't do it in your driveway, do you?

The Apollo spacecraft had a maximum capacity of three people. Each mission typically consisted of three astronauts: a commander, a command module pilot, and a lunar module pilot.

The Apollo 13 crew consisted of Commander James Lovell, Command Module Pilot John Swigert, and Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise. They were on a mission to land on the moon, but had to abort their mission due to an oxygen tank explosion.

Apollo 8 was the first manned mission to orbit the moon. The crew members were Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, Jr., William A. Anders. The first time man stepped on the surface of the moon was during Apollo 11. Flight Commander Neil Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the lunar surface. Air Force Colonel Edwin Aldrin later accompanied him. The last of the crew, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michael Collins, stayed in the command module.

The first machine to land on the moon was the Soviet spacecraft Luna 2, which successfully impacted the moon on September 13, 1959. Luna 2 was an unmanned space probe launched by the Soviet Union as part of their Luna program.

Splashdown speed of the Apollo capsules in the ocean was 8.5 m/s (19 mph) with all three parachutes, although the Apollo 15 capsule landed at roughly 10 m/s (~22.4 mph) due to one of the main parachutes failing to deploy.

The first US man in space was John Glen in Friendship 7. He orbitted the earth in space but never went out into space. But the first man technically considered to be put in space by the US was Alan Shepard aboard the Freedom 7 on a sub-orbital flight. Hope this helps.

The only human's remains on the moon are those of geologist Eugene Shoemaker who was an expert on planetary collisions. His ashes was carried to abroad NASA's lunar prospector spacecraft who crashed into crater on 31 July 1999.

If you ask the number of manned Apollo space missions then the number is eleven, starting with Apollo 7 and ending with Apollo 17.

The Apollo space dollar is a collectible item issued by the Robbins Company in the 1970s to celebrate the Apollo space missions. Its value can vary depending on factors such as condition, rarity, and collector demand, but typically they sell for around $10 to $50 each.
