The Soviet Luna program had launched Luna 1, the first spacecraft to fly past the moon on January 4, 1959. Its successor, Luna 2, was the first spacecraft to land on the moon, while Luna 3 took the first photos of the far side of the moon on October 7, 1959. Luna 9, launched by the USSR on February 3, 1966, performed the first "soft landing" on the moon; and Luna 10 became the first spacecraft to orbit the moon on April 3, 1966.\n\nThere have been no Russian cosmonauts on the surface.\n\nFollow the link for more information.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing

Man has landed on the moon six times.  Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 (Apollo 13 never landed as it had to abort its mission due to problems en route).

A month. That's why we only see one side of the moon. (Hence the Pink Floyd song Dark Side of the Moon). :)

“Buzz” Aldrin\n\n\nSix hours after landing at 4:17 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (with less than 30 seconds of fuel remaining), Neil A. Armstrong took the “Small Step” into our greater future when he stepped off the Lunar Module, named “Eagle,” onto the surface of the Moon, from which he could look up and see Earth in the heavens as no one had done before him.\n\nHe was shortly joined by “Buzz” Aldrin, and the two astronauts spent 21 hours on the lunar surface and returned 46 pounds of lunar rocks. After their historic walks on the Moon, they successfully docked with the Command Module “Columbia,” in which Michael Collins was patiently orbiting the cold but no longer lifeless Moon.

"Moon Hoax" proponents claim that the Moon landings of Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969 and subsequent missions never happened, but were instead staged and pre-filmed on Earth. The idea grew significantly in popularity after the release of the movie Capricorn One (1978), which portrays a NASA attempt to fake a landing on Mars, implausibly using a Lunar Module, designed to land on the airless Moon, on a planet with an atmosphere.\n\nIt is possible that a brief sequence in the James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever (1971) which appears to show a Moon landing being simulated, may coincide with some of the first suggestions of the landings being faked. British playwright Desmond Lowden wrote a play called The News-Benders in 1967 in which all major technological advances since 1945 were shown to have been simulated; the play was televised in January 1968 and showed a Moon landing faked with models.\n\nThe now-defunct Flat Earth Society lodged one of the earliest complaints about the veracity of the Apollo missions (Schadewald 1980) (also see the external link to the Flat Earth Society). They claimed the various "earthrise" photos from Apollo 8, with the Moon in the foreground and the Earth in the background, were fakes. The primary basis of their claim was that it did not square with their belief that the Earth is flat (Newsweek 1969).\n\nIn his book A Man on the Moon, Andrew Chaikin mentions that at the time of Apollo 8's lunar orbit mission in December 1968, such conspiratorial stories were in circulation as rumoured facts. The first published attempt to establish such claims as factual was Bill Kaysing's self-published book We Never Went to the Moon in 1974 (Plait 2002:157), although perhaps the best known is NASA Mooned America by Ralph Rene.\n\nHoax skeptics claim that the Moon landing hoax accusations are conspiracy theories — claims that conspirators in the possession of secret knowledge are misleading the public in pursuit of a hidden agenda. In the Moon Hoax's case the hidden agenda is the United States of America's eagerness to land on the moon before their space race rivals, the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.), who had beaten them into orbit by launching Yuri Gagarin into space in 1961, and achieved several other "firsts" in space exploration.\n\nTo know more about Issues and controversies please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_moon_landing_hoax_accusations

They are American, and have been on the moon.

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It has no formal name other than "The Moon", although in English it is occasionally called Luna (Latin for moon), or Selene (Greek for moon), to distinguish it from the generic "moon" (natural satellites of other planets are also called moons). Its symbol is a crescent. The terms lunar, selene/seleno-, and -cynthion (from the Lunar deities Selene and Cynthia) refer to the Moon (aposelene, selenocentric, pericynthion, etc.).\n\nThe average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles). The Moon's diameter is 3,476 kilometres (2,160 mi). Reflected sunlight from the Moon's surface reaches Earth in 1.3 seconds (at the speed of light).\n\nThe first man-made object to land on the Moon was Luna 2 in 1959, the first photographs of the otherwise occluded far side of the Moon were made by Luna 3 in the same year, and the first people to land on the Moon came aboard Apollo 11 in 1969.

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon on July 20,1969.  Ten others followed during the next 3 years.

We landed on the moon, for sure!

"We didn't start the Fire" Billy Joel is naming phrases of historical events and scandals of the 1950's to the 1990's. The phrase Moonshot bascially is talking about the U.S. Space Program from when J. F. Kennedy announced "the U.S. will put a man on the moon before the end of the decade" (right after Alan Sheppard's or John Glenn's flight ) in 1961 to the landing on the Moon in July 1969 by Apollo 11.

We went to the moon. The simplest answer is usually the correct one, and in this case it's easier to assume that we really went to the moon than there being an international conspiracy involving every nation on Earth lying to say that we never made it to the moon.

NASA plans to send astronauts to the moon by 2020.  NASA sent nine manned missions to the Moon between 1968 and 1972. A total of 12 men walked on the lunar surface.  If you ask me, I'm not sure if they have ever been up there to begin with.  They say it takes them so long now to get "back" because the project would cost over 100 Billion Dollars. The new missions would use rocket technology already employed on the space shuttle to cut the costs of development. Dr Griffin from NASA said the new rockets would be "very Apollo-like, with updated technology. Think of it as Apollo on steroids."

they didn't 1969. Sure think about it - how could they have? It was just a conspiricy to show up russians because they had got a man in space. That was the great thing that happened. The first real person on the moon was not until 1974.

Actually, no, we haven't done it since the original six landings.  The last one was Apollo 17 in 1972, and since then, we haven't sent a manned mission back to the moon.

none *in* the moon, but 12 have landed *on* the moon.\n\nsee link below for pix of the famous 12.
