the apolo missions what do you guys think about them are they real or not and why ?
Yes, the Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 missions were real, and they were historic achievements in space exploration. Both missions were part of the Apollo program, which was a series of space missions conducted by NASA in the 1960s and 1970s. Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the moon in 1969, and Apollo 17 was the final mission in 1972.
The Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 missions made significant contributions to space exploration. Apollo 11 was the first mission to land humans on the moon, and it provided valuable information about the moon's surface and its composition. Apollo 17 was the longest and most complex Apollo mission, and it collected the largest amount of lunar samples, allowing scientists to learn more about the moon's history and formation.
The Apollo 11 mission was crewed by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Armstrong and Aldrin were the first humans to walk on the moon, while Collins orbited the moon in the command module. The Apollo 17 mission was crewed by Eugene Cernan, Ronald Evans, and Harrison Schmitt. Cernan and Schmitt were the last humans to walk on the moon, while Evans orbited the moon in the command module.
The Apollo 11 mission lasted 8 days, from July 16 to July 24, 1969. The crew spent about 21 hours on the moon's surface. The Apollo 17 mission lasted 12 days, from December 7 to December 19, 1972. The crew spent about 75 hours on the moon's surface.
The Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 missions were significant for several reasons. They demonstrated the technological and scientific capabilities of the United States in the space race against the Soviet Union. They also provided valuable information about the moon and its formation, and they inspired future space exploration and scientific research. Additionally, the Apollo 11 mission marked the first time humans walked on another celestial body, while the Apollo 17 mission marked the last time humans have done so to this day.
