-The Apollo project began when [[United States]] President [[John F. Kennedy]] proposed we put a man on the [[Moon]] by the end of the 1960s. In 1969 his dream came true when [[Neil Armstrong]] became the first man on the moon.  The aborted mission Apollo 13 almost resulted in the death of the crewmembers.  Only extraordinary measures by the flight team on the ground and in the spacecraft prevented it from becoming a tragedy.

-Beginning with Apollo 15, a small electric car was used to transport the astronauts across the surface of the moon. A total of twelve men walked on the moon, but after Apollo 17 in 1972, the program came to an end.  The Saturn 5 booster constructed for Apollo 18 carried Skylab, America's first space station, into orbit.

-There has been speculation that the Apollo moon landing missions never took place, and that it was all staged for the benefit of the public. Supporting this interpretation is the fact that the American flag placed on the Moon should not wave,though it appears it does. Also there appears to be no stars in the sky as would be expected in space. [[NASA]] has thoroughly debunked these conspiracy theories.<ref>[http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast23feb_2.htm , The Great Moon Hoax (NASA)]</ref>
