	MSN Encarta - Apollo Program
		Depending on the specific mission, the time in lunar orbit ranged from less than one day for Apollo 8 to over six days for the final three missions, and the time on the lunar surface ranged from less than one day for Apollo 11 to over three days for Apollo 15, 16, and 17.
		On January 27, 1967, the launch crew and flight crew of the first manned Apollo mission were conducting a simulated countdown to test the operations and compatibility of the CSM and the launch vehicle prior to their scheduled launch the following month.
		Apollo 7 was the first manned earth orbit flight test of the CSM.

	Project Apollo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grumman Apollo LM The Lunar Module itself was composed of a descent stage and an ascent stage, the former serving as a launch platform for the latter when the lunar exploration party blasted off for lunar orbit where they would dock with the CSM prior to returning to Earth.
		Two of the flights (Apollo 7 and Apollo 9) were Earth orbital missions, two of the flights (Apollo 8 and Apollo 10) were lunar orbital missions, and the remaining 7 flights were lunar landing missions (although one, Apollo 13, failed to land).
		The Apollo program was at least partly motivated by psycho-political considerations, in response to persistent perceptions of American inferiority in space technology vis-a-vis the Soviets, in the context of the Cold War and the Space Race.

	Cancelled Apollo missions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the early Apollo missions he had used a rotation system of assigning a crew as backup and then three missions later they would be the prime crew.
		Apollo 8 was originally slated to be a D mission, flying the LM and CSM in Earth orbit.
		A modified Apollo CSM was prepared, with two crew spaces and three additional bunks crammed in beneath them; however, the problem was fixed without requiring a rescue flight, and the mission was stood down.

		Apollo 18 was a cancelled flight within the (A program of space flights undertaken by US to land a man on the moon) Apollo Program, which would have been the eighth attempted lunar landing.
		Apollo 15 was originally meant to be a H mission—like Apollo (The cardinal number that is the sum of eleven and one) 12, (The cardinal number that is the sum of twelve and one) 13 and (The cardinal number that is the sum of thirteen and one) 14.
		These cancellations meant that Apollo 15 became a J mission—three day stay on the moon with the lunar rover and that Apollo 18 would no longer be launched.

		Before Apollo, however, the origin of lunar impact craters was not fully understood and the origin of similar craters on Earth was highly debated.
		Early in its history, the Moon was melted to great depths to form a "magma ocean." The lunar highlands contain the remnants of early, low density rocks that floated to the surface of the magma ocean.

	Bill Keel's Space Bits - Tracking the Apollo Flights
		Apollo 8 was extensively tracked, owing to the great interest in the mission and the novelty of the lunar trajectory, as well as somewhat better illumination than some later missions.
		Sightings of Apollo 11, and a Table Mountain photo, were reported in "Observations of Apollo 11", Sky and Telescope, November 1969, pp.
		Since Apollo, spacecraft in very high orbits have been imaged by well-equipped amateurs (Chandra, XMM-Newton) and reflections from deliberately oriented solar panels have allowed NEAR-Shoemaker to be detected with modest means at a range of 25,000 km or so.

		During the Apollo missions, the movie cameras were fitted with special night lenses to compensate for the lack of light.
		However the walls of the Apollo craft and capsule were made as thin and as light as possible and as a result the craft initially could not carry enough air inside to withstand the equivalent to sea level air pressure.

		Major objective of the mission was achieved during the fourth revolution when the spacecraft rendezvoused with the GATV at 5 hours 23 minutes ground elapsed time and docked with it about 30 minutes later.
		The objectives of the mission included the study of: (1) lunar gamma- and X-ray emissions in order to determine the Moon's chemical composition; (2) lunar gravitational anomalies; (3) the concentration of meteorite streams near the Moon; and, (4) the intensity of hard corpuscular radiation near the Moon.
		The primary objective of the Gemini XI mission was to rendezvous with the Gemini Agena target vehicle (GATV) during the first revolution and dock.

		The Lunar Orbiter 1 robotic (unmanned) spacecraft was designed primarily to photograph smooth areas of the lunar surface for selection and verification of safe landing sites for the Surveyor and Apollo missions.
		The spacecraft was tracked until it impacted the lunar surface on command at 7 degrees N latitude, 161 degrees E longitude (selenographic coordinates) on the Moon's far side on October 29, 1966 on its 577th orbit.
		The early end to the nominal one year mission was due to the small amount of remaining attitude control gas and other deteriorating conditions and was planned to avoid transmission interference with Lunar Orbiter 2.

		Although it is common knowledge throughout the world that the Apollo Moon missions were faked by NASA back in the 60's, many gullible people still accept NASA's claim of landing men on the Moon, without bothering to carry out any research, or investigation, to see if NASA are indeed telling the truth.
		Those who will not accept that Apollo was a fake, have been brain washed into believing 36 years of lies emanating from NASA, whereby they become brain damaged, and lose touch with reality.
		It is the latter missions, ie, 15/16 and 17 where the anomalies are plainly obvious.

	Xenophilia - Moon Hoax Debate
		Yet after the Apollo missions, Time magazine July 25, 1969 said "At a point of 43,495 miles from the moon, lunar gravity exerted a force equal to the gravity of the Earth, then some 200,000 miles distant" In 1973 Encyclopedia Britannica, gave a new neutral point distance of 39,000 miles.
		A spokesperson for NASA confirmed this and stated that the astronauts would return to the lunar capsule to change film magazines or lenses, but there was no pressure in the LM so the astronauts could not have removed their gloves without first re-pressurising the cabin.
		CLAIM: The Apollo Lunar TV Camera Operations Manual stated that the camera should never be allowed to reach a temperature colder than minus 30F or hotter than plus 120F but the surface temperature was between 180 to 250F.
