Apollo 11 was launched into space in 1969 and was quite different from the Apollo 10. The successful lunar landing of Apollo 11 made the United States a respected and competitive player in space technology. On July 16, 1969 a spacecraft named the Apollo 11 was sent into orbit by the United States to explore the moon. The three astronauts on board of the Apollo 11 were Neil
The Apollo 13 was not only one of Nasa’s most famous missions, but one of its most perilous missions of all. The mission and it’s story got plenty of well deserved attention.

Neil Armstrong Background Neil Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio in the year 1930. His services as a pilot were called upon during the Korean War.

At the time the functions of the N.A.C. were to plan, direct, and conduct all United States aeronautical and space activities, except for those that were primarily
The Apollo 13 Mission had a huge impact on space exploration. The Determination of the crew helped them return back to earth. People may think that Apollo 13 would have been a better success if they changed the launch date. Even though they failed at their goals the overall result was success. If they had changed the launch date NASA would have had more time to check the spacecraft and make sure that it was safe. If this event had not happened NASA wouldn't have learned how to make spaceships safer
Lost Moon vs. Apollo 13 “Houston we have a problem,” those words caught the attention of the world on April 13, 1970 during the flight of Apollo 13.
