Manned Mission to the Moon

The Manned Mission to the Moon was a NASA project aimed at sending astronauts from Earth to explore the Moon. It involved developing advanced rockets and spacecraft to travel approximately 240,000 miles through space. The first successful mission, Apollo 11 in 1969, saw astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk on the lunar surface, conducting experiments and collecting samples, while Michael Collins orbited above. These missions demonstrated human capabilities in space exploration, expanded scientific knowledge about the Moon, and marked a major achievement in space technology and international effort during the Cold War era.
