	Project Apollo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Project Apollo was a series of human spaceflight missions undertaken by the United States of America (NASA) using the Apollo spacecraft and Saturn launch vehicle, conducted during the years 1961–1975.
		The Apollo program was at least partly motivated by psycho-political considerations, in the context of the Cold War and the Space Race.
		Apollo returned 381.7kg (841.5 lb) of rocks and other material from the moon, much is stored at the Lunar Receiving Laboratory in Houston.

	Apollo 11 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apollo 11 was the fifth human spaceflight of the Apollo program, the third human voyage to the moon, and the first manned mission to land on the Moon.
		Apollo 11 passed behind the Moon on July 19 and soon after fired its main rocket, entering lunar orbit.
		The crew decided the Roman numeral XI would not be understood in some nations and went with Apollo 11; they decided not to put their names on the patch to "allow it to symbolize everyone who worked on the moon landing".

		pollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon.
		The first steps by humans on another planetary body were taken by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on July 20, 1969.
		Apollo 11 achieved its primary mission - to perform a manned lunar landing and return the mission safely to Earth - and paved the way for the Apollo lunar landing missions to follow.

	Apollo 11 Summary
		As Jack Schmitt relates in his Apollo 17 commentary, six hours of intermittent sleep in orbit can be as restful as six hours of uninterrupted sleep on Earth and, during the outbound trip from Earth, the Apollo 11 crew had been getting between 9 and 10 hours during each of the rest periods.
		The Apollo 11 "landing ellipse" contains dozens of craters a hundred meters across or more, and the important point is that the LM had plenty of range so that Armstrong could avoid even the largest of them.
		However, it wasn't until Apollo 15 that the lunar stays were long enough - and the astronauts and mission planners had confidence enough - that the crews got out of their suits during the rest periods and, with the help of earplugs to cut down on the noise, really got some sleep.

		Apollos 9 and 10 were launched in early 1969 to test equipment and practice procedures for the lunar mission.
		Apollo 10 astronauts Thomas Stafford, John Young and Eugene Cernan flew a “dress rehearsal” of the first lunar landing mission, with Stafford and Cernan descending to within 50,000 feet (14,240 meters) of the Moon's surface.
		Apollo 13 suffered a catastrophic explosion in a Service Module oxygen tank at about the midpoint of its lunar journey on April 13, 1970, but the three astronauts, James Lovell, Fred W. Haise, and John L. Swigert, safely returned to Earth through the heroic efforts of their ground support team in Houston.

		At dawn on 16 July, 1969, the crew of Apollo 11 breakfasted on the now traditional low fibre, low waste meal of steak and eggs; donned their spacesuits; and took the transfer van to the waiting spacecraft, which was steadily progressing through the final countdown to Takeoff (T).
		On Apollo 11, the crew gave several transmissions of the crafts interior, demonstrated weightlessness with various objects floating in front of the camera, and showed the earth from space through the CM's observation windows.
		The priority of the Apollo 11 mission was to establish a landing and, due to weight and time constraints, it carried only a limited scientific package.

		Most of the rocks collected on Apollo 11 are believed to be material that was ejected when West Crater formed about 100 million years ago.
		One important objective of the Apollo 11 mission was to observe the properties of the regolith and assess how these properties affected the crew's ability to move about and to work on the lunar surface.
		This investigation was known as the Soil Mechanics Investigation, which on Apollo 11 consisted of verbal descriptions by the crew and close-up photographs of the regolith, including three-dimensional stereo photographs.
