Apollo Moon Missions

I have not landed on the moon. The only missions where humans have landed on the moon were the Apollo missions conducted by NASA between 1969 and 1972.

This is quite possibly the most sought for question by non believers. It is easily solved for and Avg. rate of speed. the moon is an avg of 238,855 miles from earth...mind you I typed "avg." Now if you take the time from when they stopped their exploration on the moon at 12:14 am on July 21, 1969 to the time they splashed into the pacific at 11:50 am on July 24, 1969 that is roughly 84 hours. Some say that the actual lift off time is later and I would agree that the astronauts would not just hop in the lander and leave. So some say 59 hours. either way its easy math. Just take the distance 238,855 and divide it by either 84 or 59 whichever you like. The speed comes out to some where between 1500-2000mph. This is the travel back of course the shuttle was going much faster when leaving to compensate for the gravity of Earth. So there you have it. It only took a couple of days to come back.

12 men have stepped on the moon, all of them were NASA astronauts from the United States during the Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972.

yes i can yes i can! Then why don't you? With no atmosphere on the moon, the US flag had to be stiffened with wires to keep the moon's meager gravity from dragging it down. On one of the lunar flag-plantings, the flag ripples as if caught by a breeze, indicating that the landing was actually filmed on a terrestrial movie set instead of the moon.

If one thinks a Moon landing is the arrival of an intact (i.e not a crash into the Moon) unmanned spacecraft onto the Moon's surface, then the Russians were the first to do this in 1966

However, if one thinks of a Moon landing as the arrival and return of a manned spacecraft onto the Moon's surface then the people of US were the first to do this in 1969. No other nation has yet made a manned moon landing.

The cost of a space mission can vary widely depending on factors such as the destination, complexity of the mission, and equipment involved. For example, a mission to the International Space Station may cost around $150 million, while a mission to Mars can cost billions of dollars.

it was the same speed as the other space shuttles till it had the explosion.

Till now 12 people have set foot on the moon. The first man to set his foot on the moon was Neil Armstrong and the second man was Edwin Aldrin. They landed on the moon on 20 July, 1969 and stayed there for 21.6 hours abroad Apollo 11.

They were built throughout the 60's and into the 70's. The spacecraft and various modules went through many, many iterations and versions. There was not just a single design that was used throughout the program.

Apollo 11 was made by a team of engineers and scientists from NASA, with key figures including Wernher von Braun, the chief architect of the Saturn V rocket, and George Mueller, the NASA administrator overseeing the Apollo program. The astronauts who flew on Apollo 11 were Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins.

The true secret of the moon landing is that it was a remarkable achievement of human innovation, technology, and collaboration. There is no evidence to support any conspiracy theories suggesting the moon landing was faked.

John F. Kennedy started the program to send men to the moon, but died in 1963. After his death, Richard Nixon continued to fund John Fitzgerald Kennedy's space program and in 1969, while Richard M. Nixon was president, the first men landed on the moon.

The Apollo 7 experiments included tests of sextant calibration, attitude control, evaporator, navigation, rendezvous radar, thermal control system, and service module propulsion systems. Really the whole flight was an experiment as it was the first manned mission of the Apollo spacecraft.

Most of the huge Saturn V rocket used in the Apollo 11 mission was destroyed. This was all planned as most of the rocket ship was just a container for the enormous amount of fuel necessary for the mission. The only parts that actually went to the moon were the command module, the service module and the lunar module... altogether not much bigger than a bus - all that remained from a Saturn V rocket ship that was over 360ft in height. The base of the Lunar module is still resting on the moon, on the Apollo 11 landing site after acting as a launchpad for the lunar module on its return from the moon. The lunar module itself was crashlanded on the surface after it was dispensed with. The service module was detached from the command module on entry to the earth's atmosphere and burned up on re-entry into the atmosphere. The command module, containing the 3 astronauts, was the only part to return. This is now on display at the National Air and Space Museum, Washington DC, USA.

All of the Apollos used the same fuels, although they used two different boosters.

Spacecraft (CSM) - Aerozine 50 and Nitrogen Tetroxide

LM - Aerozine 50 and Nitrogen Tetroxide

The launch vehicles used RP-1 (basically kerosene) and liquid oxygen for the first stage and liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen for the upper stages.

The last "manned" moon landing was Apollo 17 on December 11, 1972.

The first person to land on the moon was astronaut Neil Armstrong on July 20, 1969 during the Apollo 11 mission. He famously declared, "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind," as he set foot on the lunar surface.

The Apollo program was started by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, with the goal of landing a man on the Moon and bringing him back safely to Earth before the end of the decade.

Gus Grissom, Ed White ( the first US spacewalker), and Roger Chaffee were killed in a launch pad practice test on 27th January, 1967 when fire broke out in the cockpit of the command module of Apollo 1.

Crying tears does not function the same way in space due to the lack of gravity to pull tears down the face. Tears can pool on the eyes or even collect as a floating bubble, not providing the same emotional release as on Earth.

There were six moon landings, each at different sites. Google Moon is an excellent way to see where these landings were, and you will find a link to it below.

That would be the German V-2 short-range ballistic missile. After WWII, Allied forces obtained the blueprints and even some of the scientist for the rocket, and it paved the way for modern rockets. America even used the V-2 as a base for the Saturn V.

There are likely no golf balls on the moon, as they are not something typically found there. However, during the Apollo missions, astronauts did hit golf balls on the moon as a way to conduct experiments on gravity and physics in the moon's lower gravity environment.
