Apollo Lunar Landings
The Apollo program was a human spaceflight plan carried out by NASA from 1961 to 1972. The primary goal of the Apollo missions was to conduct a manned moon landing. The Apollo program, specifically the lunar landings, is often cited as one of the greatest achievements in human history. At its peak, the Apollo program employed 400,000 Americans and required the support of over 20,000 industrial firms and universities. The 11 crewed missions include two Earth orbiting missions, two lunar orbiting missions, a lunar swing-by and six Moon landing missions.
Apollo 11, commanded by Neil Armstrong, was the first to make a lunar landing and thus Armstrong went down in the history books as the first man to step on the lunar surface on July 20 1969. The success of Apollo 11 was followed by five more lunar landings. Apollo 13 was the only unsuccessful moon landing, but thankfully, the crew was not lost in space.
After Apollo 17, all future moon landing missions were cancelled due to budget limitations. Humans have never been back to the lunar surface since. In summary, the Apollo Program, properly defined, was much broader than most people realize.
