Apollo Programme

The Apollo Programme was a NASA-led effort in the 1960s and early 1970s to send humans to the Moon and safely return them to Earth. It involved designing and building advanced spacecraft, rockets, and technology to achieve space travel beyond low Earth orbit. The program's most famous achievement was Apollo 11 in 1969, when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the lunar surface. The Apollo Programme advanced science, engineering, and international prestige, laying the groundwork for future space exploration. It ultimately completed six successful Moon landings, demonstrating human ingenuity and technological capability.
