		Apollo Program, American manned lunar-space program designed to land an astronaut on the Moon and return him safely to Earth, as well as to overtake the former Soviet Union in the race to dominate space exploration.
		Following the Apollo program, Apollo spacecraft were used to shuttle astronauts to and from the Skylab space station, and an Apollo spacecraft docked with the orbiting Soviet spacecraft Soyuz 19 in the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project.
		During the Apollo program, 12 Saturn V rockets were launched from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida, and all were successful.

	Contact Light - a personal retrospective of Project Apollo
		The Apollo project was dealt a major setback in early 1967 with the tragic Apollo 1 fire and death of its crewmen during training, and it wasn't until October of 1968 (23 months after the final Gemini flight) that manned missions resumed with the launch of earth orbital mission Apollo 7.
		Apollo 15 was on its way to the moon, carrying with it a new vehicle...the Lunar Rover.
		Apollo 17 set records for total duration of lunar EVA's (22 hours), distance driven with the LRV (36 km.) and lunar samples collected (254 lbs.), and brought the manned lunar landing missions to conclusion in grand fashion with a spectacular televised lunar liftoff.

	Apollo 15 Summary
		Part of the reason was that the Apollo 15 site is well north of the Moon's equator and the photo coverage didn't have the resolution that had been available for the earlier sites; and, the net effect was at, as Scott looked out the window, he couldn't find the patterns he had hoped to see.
		The Apollo 11 and 12 crews had brought back the mare samples with which geochemists dated the great lava floods that made the mare; and the 14 crew had brought back the breccia samples which confirmed general impressions about the age and composition of the ejecta from the large basins like Imbrium.
		Studies of the deep cores obtained on Apollos 15, 16, and 17 provided details that were critical to an understanding of the processes that produce the soil layers.

	RE: Apollo 15 landing site - Astronomy.com Forums
		However, one argument presented is that the Apollo 15 landing site has actually been imaged from lunar orbit by the Clementine spacecraft.
		However, cameras on the Apollo 15 rover actually imaged the take-off remotely (one picture of this is shown in the same issue).
		If indeed the Apollo 15 landing site has been observed from orbit, we can't just throw this into the pot without explaining how this can actually be so, given the small amounts of dust raised.
