Description
In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, NASA landed six manned spacecraft on the moon. This achievement was the culmination of intense planning and execution of earlier missions. The first manned landing on the moon occurred after only eight years after the start of the Apollo program. Len Duda will review the history and scientific results from these missions from Apollo 11 through Apollo 17.
