12 astronauts landed on the moon between 1969-1972 as part of the Apollo missions, including Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969 who were the first to walk on the moon. Animals like monkeys and dogs were early passengers in rockets and space flights during the 1950s and 1960s to test the effects of space travel. Rocket propellants undergo chemical reactions to produce thrust by ejecting hot gases. The Soviet Union's Luna 2 was the first man-made object to land on the moon in 1959.

2. How many journeys have there been to
the moon.
During 6 lunar landing operations, 12 humans landed on the moon:
Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin in 1969
Charles Conrad and Alan Bean in 1970
Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, David Scott and James Irwin in 1971.
And last of all John Young, Charles Duke, Eugene Cernan and Harrison
Schmitt in 1972.
12 People have also orbited around the moon:
Apollo 8: Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Andres.
Apollo 10: Thomas Stafford, John Young, Eugene Cernan.
Apollo 11: Michael Collins, Apollo 12: Richard Gordan, Apollo 13: James Lovell
Apollo 14: Stuart Roosa, Apollo 15: Alfred Worden, Apollo 16: Ken Mattingly
Apollo 17: Ronald Evans. And Apollo Is the Name of the Space-Ship that the
astronaughts fly and the number is the number of the ship.

4. • The first thing in a rocket was a dog and
its name was laika and died from over
heating. The first rocket which could fly
enough to get in space was the v2 missile
which was first lunched by the Germans in
1945. The first rocket which actually
launched something into space was used
to launch sputnik, the first satellite, on
October 4, 1957. The rocket that launched
sputnik was a R-7 ICBM rocket.

5. Rocket Propellant is a material that is used to
produce a chemical reaction. This reaction mass
that is ejected, typically at high speed, from a
rocket engine to produce a thrust. For those who
don’t know what a thrust is, it is a sudden jolt up
or forwards.
In a chemical rocket, propellants undergo
chemical reactions to produce hot gas. For
smaller altitude, control thrusters, the
compressed gas escaped the spacecraft.

6. The first man made thing to land on the moon was the soviet
union Luna 2 13 September 1959.
The United States of America Apollo 1 was the first manned
to land on the moon on the 20th of July 1969. 6 manned
Moon landings between 1969 and 1972
Some people say moon landing were fake. But evidence
proves Moon landings were real. anyone with the right laser
and telescope set up can bounce lasers of retro reflectors
which are fancy mirrors

7. NASA
NASA’S vision: To reach for new heights and to reveal the unknown so
that we do and learn will benefit all humankind. To do that
thousands of people have been working around the world and off it
for 50 years to answer some basic questions. President Dwight
D.Eisenhower established the national aeronautics and space
administartion

8. Projects
• Project Gemini focused on experiments to do with practicing techniques for lunar missions. It
ran from 1962-1966.
Lunar missions- A moon landing is the arrival of a spacecraft on the surface of the Moon.
• Project Mercury was the first human space flight program of the U.S.A. It ran from 1959-1963
• Project Apollo was one of the most expensive American scientific programs ever. It is estimated
to have cost $202 billion in present-day US dollars. It ran from 1961-1972
• Project Skylab was the United States' first and only independently built space station. It ran from
1973-1979.
• Project Space shuttle became the major focus of NASA in the late 1970s and the 1980s. It ran
from 1981 – 2011.

9. Planets
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and the smallest planet in the solar system.
Venus is second closest to the sun and named after the roman goddess of beauty and love.
Earth is the planet we live on and its got a gravitational pull so it keeps us on the ground.
Mars has reddish colour and was named after the god of war of the ancient Romans.
Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system and has more than 63 moons.
Saturn is the second largest planet. It is the next planet after Jupiter. Saturn is named after a
Roman God and is famous for its beautiful rings.
Uranus is the third largest planet in the solar system, is a Gas Giant and is the seventh planet from
the sun. Planet Uranus has rings like Planet Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune.
Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. It is also known as the Blue Giant.

10. Space Station
A space station is a spacecraft capable of supporting a crew
which is designed to remain in space for long periods of time.
The two recent space stations were built in the years 1998 and
2011. They are called the International Space Station (ISS) and
the Tiangong 1.
The ISS is an artificial satellite in Low Earth Orbit. The ISS
components were launched by American Space Shuttles in the
year 1998.
The Tiangong 1 is China’s first space station. It successfully
docked with a module in November 2011.
Up to ten people can stay in a space station for more than two
days.
The International Space Station is 108.5 meters by 72.8 meters.
It weighs 450 tons, which is the size of 450 small passenger
cars.

11. Because of gravity if you drop something it
falls down instead of up. Well everybody
knows that. Gravity has played a big part in
making the universe the way it is.
