Manned lunar missions refer to spaceflights where astronauts travel to the Moon to conduct research and exploration. The most famous of these missions was Apollo 11, which landed the first humans on the lunar surface in 1969. These missions aim to study the Moon's geology, gather samples, and test technologies for future space exploration. In recent years, space agencies like NASA have planned new manned lunar missions, such as the Artemis program. This initiative aims to return humans to the Moon by the mid-2020s, focusing on sustainable exploration and preparing for future missions to Mars.
