	MSN Encarta - Apollo Program
		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.
		It was preceded by the manned Gemini program, which engineers used to develop the techniques that would be needed for the ambitious trip to the moon, and the unmanned Surveyor Program, which scientists used to probe the lunar surface.

	Apollo program (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Apollo 2 through Apollo 6 were unmanned test flights; the Apollo 1 designation was retroactively applied to the originally planned first manned flight which ended in a disastrous fire during a launch pad test that killed three astronauts.
		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.

	Apollo Program
		The Apollo Program was nevertheless approved, and development of the Saturn family of launch vehicles, spacecraft, and a deep-space tracking network began.
		By 1968, the first Earth-orbital mission, Apollo 7, was flown, followed within months by the first lunar-orbiting mission, Apollo S. The Apollo 9 mission tested the Lunar Module in Earth orbit and, Apollo 10 tested the Lunar Module in lunar orbit, paving the way for the first manned landing in July 1969.
		The Apollo Program was the central element of a much broader space initiative that included the Gemini, Lunar Orbiter, Skylab, and Apollo-Soyuz programs.

		The Apollo Program, begun in 1961 as a response to the challenge of Soviet space activities, rapidly became the backbone of the American space program.
		The Apollo 9 mission tested the Lunar Module in Earth orbit and, Apollo 10 tested the Lunar Module in lunar orbit, paving the way for the first manned landing in July 1969.
		The program is generally agreed to have been the supreme technological achievement of a millennium now drawing to a close, a unifying experience for the human race, and the beginning of humanity's expansion into the universe.

		Anticipation was a major contributor to their sleeplessness; but, as with Apollo 12, the mission simply wasn't going to be long enough for them to get out of the suits.
		The Apollo missions were so short - the first three in particular - that all the astronauts really had time to do was make an intelligent selection of samples that emphasized variety.
		Apollo 14 was an important bit of preparation for the sophisticated Rover missions with which the Apollo series ended.

		The Apollo Program began with a tragedy, when fire swept through a Block One Apollo spacecraft on January 27, 1967 killing Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Edward White, and Roger Chaffee during a "plugs out" test on the pad.
		The subsequent redesign produced a safer and superior spacecraft for the 45 astronauts that flew in them from Apollo 7 in October of 1968 to Apollo-Soyuz in July of 1975.
		In all, twelve men, starting with Neil Armstrong and ending with Eugene Cernan, walked on the moon before Apollo was completed.
