Getting off the Moon and returning to the relative safety of the command module was a feat that literally defined the mission plan. NASA even named it lunar orbit rendezvous (LOR) in view of the important benefits the technique promised in overall we

The Moon - that inconstant orb; a glorious bright light in our night sky; an ancient vehicle for human myths and deities; and now a world become known. For thousands of years before the rise of the scientific method, humans gazed at Earth’s one nat

There is a poetic beauty to the Apollo flights which lies in the fact that the crews navigated between worlds by sighting on the very same stars their ancestors would have employed to guide boats and ships across the oceans of Earth. The maritime con

In only 11½ minutes, the Saturn V had accelerated the Apollo spacecraft to nearly eight kilometres per second. The length of the stack had been reduced by two-thirds and the remaining stage, along with the spacecraft, had been lifted to an altitude

A large part of the Apollo journey was spent in coasting flight; a period of time, usually somewhere between the Moon and Earth or in orbit around the Moon, when the three crewmen waited to reach a destination or when the command module pilot was wai
