How tall was the Apollo 13?

The Apollo 13 was not a tangible object it was a mission problem SOLVED.

Why didn't they skip from Apollo 12 to Apollo 14?

Apollo 13 occurred between Apollo 12 and Apollo 14. The numbering of the Apollo missions was determined by their launch sequence, so skipping directly from Apollo 12 to Apollo 14 would have disrupted this order. Additionally, each mission had specific objectives and goals, so skipping missions would have meant missing out on valuable scientific data and progress in the Apollo program.

How much fuel did Apollo 11 have when it landed?

"If you mean when it landed on the moon, it had about 20 to 25 seconds left"

Actually, it had about 45 seconds remaining. The design of the fuel tanks allowed fuel to slosh in the low-grvity Lunar environment. This sloshing uncovered a low-fuel sensor which triggered the low-fuel warning lamp.

The anti-slosh baffles in the fuel tanks were later re-designed and the improved tanks were flown on later missions.

Did Apollo 13 win any Oscars?

Apollo 13 won two Oscars in 1996: Best Film Editing Best Sound

Facts about Apollo 11?

  • it took 3 days to get to the moon
  • they were the first to land on the moon
  • Neil and Buzz explored the surface on foot for about 2.5 hours
  • there are no still pictures of Neil on the surface because he had the only camera

Who were the first people to go to the Moon?

The first people to go to the Moon were Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, astronauts of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Neil Armstrong famously became the first person to walk on the lunar surface.

What are the names for the crew members of Apollo 8?

Frank Borman - Command Module

Pilot James Lovell

Lunar Module Pilot William Anders

They became the first humans to travel beyond low Earth orbit, the first to see Earth as a whole planet, and then the first to directly see the far side of the Moon.

Could astronauts land on a star in the same way that they landed on the moon?

No, it is not possible for astronauts to land on a star like they did on the moon. Stars are extremely hot, with temperatures reaching millions of degrees Celsius, making it impossible for any spacecraft or human to survive the journey to its surface. The sun, for example, is a star and its surface temperature is about 5500 degrees Celsius, which is far too hot for any known material to withstand.

How many any men have walked on the Moon?

Twelve men have walked on the Moon, all of whom were part of NASA's Apollo program between 1969 and 1972.

You can walk by day and night but when the moon arises so does the beast?

This riddle describes the howl of a wolf. Wolves are nocturnal animals that are more active during the night, especially when the moon is in the sky. The howling of wolves can often be heard in the night when the moon is out.

Can you land on the moon?

Yes, astronauts have landed on the moon during NASA's Apollo missions in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Since then, no humans have landed on the moon, but there are plans for future missions to return to the moon.

What is Apollo 11 ship made of?

The command module's inner structure was an aluminum "sandwich" consisting of a welded aluminum inner skin, a thermally bonded honeycomb core, and a thin aluminum "face sheet". The central heat shield consisted of 40 individual panels interspersed with several holes and openings for the reaction control engines and after-compartment equipment access. The central compartment structure consisted of an inner aluminum face sheet with a steel honeycomb core, a glass-phenolic ablative honeycomb heat shield, a layer of q-felt fibrous insulation, a pore seal, a moisture barrier, and a layer of aluminized PET film thermal strips.

The aft heat shield consisted of four brazed honeycomb panels, four spot-welded sheet metal fairings, and a circumferential ring. The fairing segments were attached to the honeycomb panels and ring with conventional fasteners. The steel honeycomb core and outer face sheets were then thermally bonded to the inner skin in a giant autoclave. The aft heat shield is nearly identical to the central, with the exception of the outer alluminized PET film layer.

How many Apollo missions failed?

Two Apollo missions experienced fatal accidents - Apollo 1 during a pre-launch test in 1967 and Apollo 13 which suffered an onboard explosion in 1970. However, neither mission was fully in flight when the accidents occurred. No Apollo mission that launched failed to return its crew safely to Earth.

What happened during the landing of the Apollo eleven mission?

During the landing of the Apollo 11 mission, the lunar module, named Eagle, encountered several issues with fuel and difficult landing conditions. Despite these challenges, Neil Armstrong successfully landed the Eagle on the moon's surface on July 20, 1969, becoming the first human to set foot on the moon. Armstrong's famous words "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" were broadcast to the world as he stepped onto the lunar surface.

Who were the three astronauts to first land on the moon and when?

Uptil this day only two astronauts have landed on the moon, and never three .

When and where did the Apollo 11 landed?

Apollo 11 landed in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20th 1969. Although called a sea, the Sea of Tranquility is just an area of land.

When it landed on Earth, it landed in the Pacific Ocean southwest of Hawaii at 12:51 p.m, July 24.

What is the best evidence that the lunar Apollo missions were not faked?

The best evidence that the Apollo missions were not faked is the physical evidence left on the Moon, such as the footprints, lunar rovers, scientific experiments, and retroreflectors that can still be measured by scientists on Earth. Additionally, the multiple independent sources of data, including photos, videos, and eyewitness accounts, all support the authenticity of the Apollo missions. Finally, the sheer number of people involved in the missions and the difficulty of maintaining such a large-scale conspiracy for over 50 years make it highly unlikely that the missions were faked.

What country put a man on the moon?

All of the 12 human beings who landed and walked on the moon between

1969 and 1972 were white male US citizens, trained and deployed as part

of the Apollo program conducted by NASA.

Which Apollo Blew Up?

The Apollo 13 mission experienced an oxygen tank explosion while en route to the moon in 1970, forcing the crew to abort the mission and return safely to Earth. The explosion occurred in the Service Module, damaging critical systems and putting the crew in a life-threatening situation.

Who was the First human to orbit the moon?

As he was the commander of the craft, Frank Frederick Borman, II is recorded as the first man to fly around the Moon.

The others on board Apollo 8 with him were Jim Lovell and Bill Anders.

When did Dave Williams first go to space?

Dave Williams first went to space in 1998 as a mission specialist on the Space Shuttle Columbia's STS-90 Neurolab mission.

When did Dave Williams first go to the moon?

Dave Williams has not bin on the moon, nor did any other Canadian astronaut has.

How long will footsteps stay on the moon?

Footsteps on the moon will stay visible for a very long time, possibly for millions of years. This is because there is no wind or water on the moon to disturb the surface and erase the footprints. The lack of atmosphere means that there is no erosion process like on Earth.
