	The Moon...Astroppo.com
		It may seem curious that the inclination of the lunar orbit and the tilt of the Moon's axis of rotation are listed as varying considerably.
		The plane of the lunar orbit maintains an inclination of 5.145 396° with respect to the ecliptic (the orbital plane of the Earth), and the lunar axis of rotation maintains an inclination of 1.5424° with respect to the normal to that same plane.
		Lunar Prospector results, however, indicate the presence of hydrogen in the permanently shadowed regions, which could be in the form of water ice.

		The points where the Moon's orbit the ecliptic are called the " lunar nodes ": the North (or ascending) node is the Moon crosses to the North of ecliptic; the South (or descending) node it crosses to the South.
		The lunar crust is composed of a of primary elements including uranium thorium potassium oxygen silicon magnesium iron titanium calcium aluminum and hydrogen.

		While in lunar orbit they made a Christmas Eve television broadcast that is thought to be one of the most watched of all time.
		Of all the components of the Apollo system, the Lunar Module (LM), which would eventually be used to land on the Moon, had the most issues.
		It was in retrograde (against direction of travel) and slowed the spacecraft down by 2.0 ft/s (0.6 m/s), in effect lowering the closest distance that the spacecraft would pass the moon.

		In the 1960s, NASA's Lunar Orbiter missions acquired meter scale imaging for a small percentage of the Moon, Robinson said, mostly in equatorial mare regions of the nearside.

		Geologic samples returned from the Moon by the Apollo lunar surface exploration missions (1969-1972), along with associated data records, are physically protected, environmentally preserved, and scientifically processed in a special building dedicated for that purpose at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

		Seismometers allowed studying the lunar interior, both from response to natural moonquakes and impacts when spent S-IVB stages that boosted Apollo to the Moon and Lunar Modules (after the astronauts had departed, of course!) were deliberately crashed into the Moon.

	List of astronauts by selection Summary
		The most significant achievements by a woman astronaut at NASA were made by Eileen Collins (1956-), who was the first female pilot selected by NASA (1990), the first female space shuttle pilot (1995), the first female pilot to dock with the Russian space station Mir (1997), and the first female space shuttle commander (1999).
		Gordon Cooper was a backup commander for the Apollo lunar dress rehersal flight, and would have commanded another mission, but was bumped from the rotation after a disagreement with NASA management.
		Thus in 1978 a new group of 35 astronauts was selected after 9 years without new astronauts, including the first female astronauts, and also the first fl astronaut Guion Bluford.

		Each mission explored new areas of the lunar surface and left behind nuclear-powered scientific instruments that continued to send data back to Earth years after the last astronaut left the Moon.
		And beginning with Apollo 15, astronauts conducted their explorations with the aid of a Moon car--a Lunar Roving Vehicle--that allowed them to travel and work miles away from their Lunar Module.
