The Apollo mission was NASA’s historic program that successfully landed humans on the Moon between 1969 and 1972. Astronauts walked on the lunar surface, collected rock and soil samples, and conducted scientific experiments. The most famous mission, Apollo 11, marked the first time humans stepped onto another world. These missions helped scientists understand the Moon’s formation and strengthened future space exploration. A historic achievement that changed humanity’s view of space forever. 🌙🚀

Before the Moon, Armstrong nearly died on Earth. In 1968 his lunar landing trainer lost control and he ejected just seconds before it slammed into the ground. The mission continued, but this moment shows how razor thin the margins were. Follow @spaceeves #NeilArmstrong #Apollo #NASA #SpaceHistory | SpaceEve
