The Apollo moon-landing missions were a series of spaceflights conducted by NASA between 1969 and 1972, aimed at landing humans on the Moon and bringing them safely back to Earth. The most famous of these missions, Apollo 11, successfully landed astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface, marking a significant achievement in human history. In total, there were six successful moon landings, with the last being Apollo 17 in 1972. These missions not only advanced our understanding of the Moon but also demonstrated the capabilities of human space exploration, paving the way for future missions beyond our planet.
