The Apollo Program was a series of space missions conducted by NASA with the goal of landing humans on the Moon and bringing them safely back to Earth. It began in the early 1960s and culminated in the historic Apollo 11 mission in 1969, where astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the lunar surface. The program included a total of six successful lunar landings, with Apollo 17 being the last in 1972. The Apollo missions not only advanced our understanding of space but also showcased human ingenuity and the spirit of exploration, leaving a lasting legacy in the field of space science.
