Did one of the Apollo rockets fail to land on earth?
No, all Apollo missions successfully landed back on Earth after completing their missions to the moon.
Is niel Armstrong's flag still on the moon?
Yes, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin placed an American flag on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. The flag is likely still standing on the moon as there is no wind to knock it over, but it may have been bleached and damaged over time due to the harsh lunar environment.
Can the space shuttle fly to the moon?
No, the space shuttle was designed for missions in low Earth orbit and did not have the capability to fly to the moon. The Apollo missions, not the space shuttle, were responsible for sending humans to the moon.
Whats a good poem of Neil Armstrong?
Neil Armstrong is an astrounot He might have eaten from a pot. When he was on the moon He didn't let anything go KABOOM.
As of now, no women have landed on the moon. The first and only humans to set foot on the moon were all men as part of the Apollo missions. NASA is actively working towards sending the first woman to the moon in the near future through the Artemis program.
Where was the man who leaped out the bath and said eurika from?
The story of the man who supposedly leaped out of the bath exclaiming "Eureka!" comes from ancient Greek history. The man in question was the mathematician and physicist Archimedes, who made this exclamation when he discovered a method to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object.
Neil Armstrong meant that the spacecraft had successfully landed on the moon, bringing a sense of peace and accomplishment to the mission control center in Houston. The reference to "tranquility" and "eagle" was a nod to the name of the lunar module, Eagle, that safely carried them to the lunar surface.
Why did JFK want the US to be the first on the moon?
JFK wanted the US to be the first on the moon to demonstrate American technological and scientific prowess during the Cold War space race against the Soviet Union. It was seen as a way to showcase American dominance in space exploration and innovation.
When did Michael Collins retire?
Michael Collins declared before the launch of Apollo 11 that this would be his last space flight.
What important things were discovered on the moon landing?
What the Moon was really like, what it is actually made of. Perhaps the most interesting thing is that scientists, for the first time, had access to rocks that were not from Earth, to compare Earth rocks to. You can learn a lot from comparing different things, not so much by comparing same things. And the Moon rocks, with no water or air to corrode them, were essentially identical to how they were billions of years earlier. From this a lot could be learned about how the Solar System was formed.
The instruments left behind told us of moonquakes and temperatures and radiation background (negligible for the short period of time the Apollo astronauts were in space).
The solar wind experiment was the first time actual material from the Sun itself was captured for analysis.
And one of the Apollo missions carried a small portable "automatic observatory". It was shielded from the sunlight that kept standard photos from showing stars, and so was able to take nearly 200 pictures of the stars, and Earth, in frequencies never seen before, as Earth's atmosphere keeps those frequencies from reaching Earth-based telescopes. These then-unique pictures have been compared to later space telescope images from various countries, and found to match. So much for the "Apollo never went to the Moon" nonsense-- the information needed to fake those star pictures did not exist until *after* those pictures were returned to Earth!
The Apollo astronauts left behind two reflectors. Scientists can fire lasers at them to determine precisely how far away the Moon is, how much it is moving away from the Earth (about 8 feet since Apollo's day!). And scientists in different places on the Earth can fire lasers at them, and determine how much Earth's continents are moving and flexing, a key to understanding Earth's geology and perhaps, someday, be able to predict quakes.

How do you land safely on the moon?
You descend in lunar module, a special space ship designed to work in the lesser (compared to earth) gravitational pull of the moon. The LM fires it's rocket engine to slow down the descent of the craft until it lands. The LM is in two pieces. The lower part lands on the moon. The upper part fires it's engine and lifts off the moon and goes up to link with the command module orbiting the moon for the return journey back to earth.

July 20, 1969 was the date Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon.
Why did people stop going to the moon?
There are many reasons why people stopped going to the moon, including high costs, shifting political priorities, and lack of perceived return on investment. Additionally, after the success of the Apollo program, focus shifted to other space exploration projects such as the Space Shuttle program and the International Space Station.
