How old were the lunar rocks brought back by the Apollo missions?

What metals are used for a spaceship?
Different metals are used for different parts where appropriate...there is no one metal that is best for everything.
Titanium is a common spacecraft metal, but it's very hard to machine, so look to use it for castings.
Inconel is used for very high temperatures as it retains it properties and forms a skin to protect it from corrosion at high temperatures.
Hastelloy is another metal similar to Inconel.
17-4 PH Stainless is a common steel used in aircraft / spacecraft.
All of these metals are expensive to buy and very hard to machine, which drives up cost.
Which astronaut read from the Bible on a lunar mission?
Astronaut Frank Borman the comander of Apollo viii spacecraft read from the bible . He read from the book of Genises chap 1 verse 1 , the creation of the world.
What are manned space missions?
Manned space missions involve sending astronauts into space to conduct various tasks such as scientific research, maintenance of spacecraft, or exploration. These missions require life support systems to sustain human life in the harsh conditions of space, and astronauts undergo rigorous training to prepare for the challenges they may face while in space.
What were the names of the astronauts on the Apollo 8 mission?
Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders.
Neil Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio, USA. He was born August 5,1930.
Who was involved with the 1969 moon landing?
The 1969 moon landing was carried out by NASA, with the Apollo 11 spacecraft being the mission that successfully put astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the moon's surface. Michael Collins piloted the command module in lunar orbit while Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the surface in the lunar module.
Most deadly poison used in the Apollo program to power equipment?
The most deadly poison used in the Apollo program to power equipment was polonium-210. It was used in the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) to provide electrical power to the spacecraft. If released, polonium-210 can be lethal if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin.
Was the last stage in the American effort to land people on the moon?
The last stage in the American effort to land people on the moon was the Apollo program. The Apollo missions, particularly Apollo 11 in 1969, successfully landed astronauts on the lunar surface, fulfilling President Kennedy's goal set in 1961 to land a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth before the end of the decade.
Who was the First country to land a probe on the moon?
The Soviet Union's unmanned spacecraft Luna 9 was the first man-made probe to make a soft landing on the moon on February 3rd, 1966.
What were the crew members names for Apollo 12?
Charles "Pete" Conrad (Commander), Richard Gordon (Pilot of the Yankee Clipper command module) and Alan Bean (pilot of the Intrepid lunar module).
When did the first Australian man land on the moon?
No Australians have landed on the Moons, only Americans.
Where did Apollo 1 take off from?
Apollo 1 did not take off. It was a mission launched by NASA that ended in tragedy during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967, when a cabin fire resulted in the deaths of astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee.
When was the last manned journey to the moon?
Apollo 17 was the last human mission to the moon; December 7-19, 1972. The astronauts were Eugene A. Cernan, Harrison H. Schmitt, and Ronald E. Evans.
The actual last landing on the Moon to date was on December 11, 1972, and Cernan and Schmitt were on the lunar surface for three days. Gene Cernan was the last man to walk on the moon, on December 14, 1972.
In total, there were 6 Apollo missions that landed on the Moon, from 1969 to 1972.
Which book did the astronauts on Apollo 8 quote at Christmas 1968?
The astronauts on Apollo 8 quoted from the book of Genesis in the Bible during their Christmas Eve broadcast in 1968 while orbiting the Moon. Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot Jim Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders took turns reading the verses to millions of people listening back on Earth.
When did humans first land on the earth?
Humans did not "land" on Earth, as humans evolved on Earth. Modern humans, Homo sapiens, are believed to have originated in Africa around 200,000 years ago and have since spread across the globe. It is important to note that Earth is our home planet where humans evolved, rather than a destination we traveled to.
What countries have flags on the moon?
The United States, the former Soviet Union, Japan, and China.
The European Space Agency (ESA), which is a consortium of 17 countries, also has a flag on the moon.
Japan and China currently each have scientific satellites orbiting the Moon, though China has not yet put a spacecraft on the moon's surface.
What Is The Lunar Landing Hoax?
The Apollo moon hoax is a claim by misguided (or deliberately lying) individuals who claim to have evidence that NASA faked the 6 manned moon landing missions.
The theory was first written about in 1974 by Bill Kaysing in his book We Never Went to the Moon: NASA's 30 Billion Dollar Swindle jumped in the fray from there.
The facts, however, show that the moon landings were real. The evidence supporting the truth of the landings is voluminous. Anybody claiming the moon landings are fake have either been misled or are deliberately lying.
Why are there still footprints on the moon?
The lack of atmosphere means there is no wind, or rain, etc. to either erode or wash away the footprints. The only way for the footprints to be disturbed would be from an impact event, such as a meteor striking the moon's surface near the prints and disturbing the surface.
What time does the moon come up?
The moon rises almost an hour later each day/night. So it "comes up" all different times.
