*History Lesson of the APOLLO MOON MISSIONS* for an conspiracy enthusiast. In October 1968, following several un-crewed Earth-orbit flights, Apollo 7 made a 163-orbit flight carrying a full crew of three astronauts. Apollo 8 carried out the first step of crewed lunar exploration: from Earth orbit, it was injected into a lunar trajectory, completed lunar orbit, and returned safely to Earth. Apollo 9 carried out a prolonged mission in Earth orbit to check out the LM. Apollo 10 journeyed to lunar orbit and tested the LM to within 15.2 km (9.4 miles) of the Moon’s surface. Apollo 11, in July 1969, climaxed the step-by-step procedure with a lunar landing; on July 20 astronaut Neil Armstrong and then Edwin (“Buzz”) Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the Moon’s surface. Apollo 13 almost ended in tragedy. But five more missions made it out to the Lunar surface. Apollo 12. 14. 15. 16 and 17. There were supposed to be three more missions. Apollo's 18 19 20, but these were cancelled by the Nixon Administration owing to the ongoing huge cost. But the political contest with the Soviet Union was won anyway, which was the original purpose of the Missions. *MISSION ACCOMPLISHED*
Yeah, it's about time we go back to the moon, this time for real !!!
