Brief Timeline of the Apollo Missions.. 1955–1972 US and Soviet Union (U.S.S.R) Cold War battle between capitalism and communism Mrs. Cohn "[L]et us not fool ourselves into thinking we went to the Moon because we are pioneers, or discoverers, or adventurers. We went to the Moon because it was the militaristically expedient thing to do.“ ~Neil Degrasse Tyson Brief Timeline of the Apollo Missions..

Apollo 1 Never launched. January 27th 1967, a fire erupted in the Apollo command module during a test, destroying the module and killing 3 astronauts The Saturn 1B launch vehicle was undamaged and later used for the Apollo 5 mission.

Apollo “2-6” were unmanned due to Apollo 1 February 1966- April 1968

Apollo 7 11 October 1968 Test Flight Apollo 8 21 December 1968 The crew were the first humans to see the far side of the Moon and earth rise over the lunar horizon with their own eyes. Live television pictures were broadcast to Earth.

Apollo 9 and 10 9: March 3rd 1969 10: May 18th, 1969 10 days in Earth orbit conducted the first manned flight test of the Lunar Module -"dress rehearsal" for the lunar landing, -Apollo 10's Lunar Module was flown manned around the Moon - descended to 8.4 nautical miles (15.6 km) without landing

Apollo 11 July 20, 1969 Apollo 11 Lunar Module performed the first manned landing on the Moon in the Sea of Tranquility Neil Armstrong steps on the moon for the first time in human history

Apollo 17 December 7th, 1972 he final Apollo lunar mission landed at Taurus–Littrow. -Schmitt, a geologist, was the first professional scientist to go on a NASA mission Last mission to the moon…

Apollo 12 and 13 12: November 14th, 1969 13: July 16th, 1969 -performed the first precise manned landing on the Moon in the Ocean of Storms near the Surveyor 3 probe. -astronauts recovered portions of Surveyor and returned them to Earth mission was aborted after an SM oxygen tank exploded on the trip to the moon, causing the landing to be cancelled. After a single loop around the moon, the LM was used as crew "lifeboat" for safe return. Famous movie in U.S.

Concocting a Lasting Conspiracy Thesis We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle (1974), Bill Kaysing. NASA Mooned America: Did man Ever land on the Moon? (1994), Ralph René. Three degrees of Moon landing deniers: Naïve doubters. Willful charlatans. Tinfoil hat brigade. Bill Kaysing Ralph René

Bart Sibrel “it’s ‘an absolute fact’ the astronauts didn’t go to the moon.”—Bart Sibrel Asserted Apollo crews faked missions, used trick photography—accepts the Earth orbital missions. Claims astronauts could not go to the Moon because going beyond the Van Allen Radiation Belts irradiate them. Several films: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon (2001) Astronauts Gone Wild (2004) Apollo 11 Monkey Business (2004) Accosts astronauts demanding they swear on the Bible that they walked on the Moon. .

Moon Hoax at Forty Moon hoax continues to resonate among the public. Journalistic attention in 2009 brought on by competition for new angles. 2004 poll showed that 6 percent of public questioned Moon landings but among Americans 18-24 “27% expressed doubts that NASA went to the Moon.” Younger Americans have no personal recollection of Apollo and for others it is receding into background quickly. Three spheres of memory: Personal Experience. Related Experience. Detached Experience.
