Moon landings

Moon landings involve spacecraft traveling from Earth, entering lunar orbit, and descending to the Moon's surface using rockets. Astronauts then explore, conduct experiments, and gather samples before returning to Earth. The key challenge is navigating through space's vacuum, managing fuel and system operations, and ensuring safety. The most famous mission, Apollo 11 in 1969, was powered by precise engineering, teamwork, and scientific planning, demonstrating human capability to reach and land on another celestial body. These missions have expanded our understanding of the Moon and demonstrated the potential for future exploration beyond Earth.
