While Michael Collins will circle the moon and exactly that happened Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon for the first time ever on the 20th of July 1969. But not every thing went to plan the over shot the site about 7km and that they didn’t know if they could walk on the there was one other problem that also meant they had re calculate what time they left because Michael Collins was already circling the moon but it turned out fine.

  5. How Was the Saturn V Rocket Different to the Space Shuttle? The Space Shuttle can be used more than once and the Saturn V Rocket can only be used once. While the Saturn V Rocket carries it fuel internally and the Space Shuttle carries most of fuel externally Interesting Fact-The fuel from a Saturn V Rocket was enough to fill 1 ½ Olympic pools

  6. What Happened on Apollo 13? The Apollo 13 rocketsuffered an explosion in the oxygen tank Service due to an electrical fault which resulted in a shortage of electrical power and oxygen. The Lunar Module was used as a lifeboat but it was only built for 2 people for 48hours in order to conserve power for the re-entry procedures. Because the power was turned off it was freezing but they made it back safely.

  7. How Was Australia Involved in the Apollo Program? Because Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin over shot the landing site the NASA radio telescope couldn’t reach were they were but the Honeysuckle Creek Radio telescope could so if it wasn’t for Australia we wouldn’t have seen the footage of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon.
