What did Apollo astronauts do on their 3 day journey to the moon?

The Astronauts navigated, communicated with Mission Control ate food, slept, and wondered about getting home alive.

LO mission III photographed areas primarily to locate and confirm suitable landing sites for the Apollo program (designated as primary (P) and secondary (S) sites). The most promising landing sites were certified during LO mission V, which also imaged a number of sites of scientific interest. Ground resolutions for both data sets ranged from 1 - 40 m.

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."

well  sence its a school report   but all information concerning   the  first man on the moon to  first trip into outspace  ,  the first wome  to ever  be  in a space shuttle that  did not make  it cause the shuttle  blew  up  right after taking  off  , put the infoarmation bout the training and  long  hours  of weightlessness they go through  etc .  put names date  pictures etc , how many attempts were made  before  a sucessfull alunch was made etc

I used to be suspiscious.  But then I found that in preparation for the moon walk, the astronauts had to be ready to step in at least 3 feet of space dust, based on evolutionary models that had the moon sitting there for 3-4 billion years collecting space dust.  When they got there, however, there were only a few inches of dust.  If they had staged it, they would have likely put 3 feet of dirt to make it look real.  But they were surprised when they landed only to find a few inches.  Might say something about evolutionary theory, hmmmm...

Actually I believe they did... evidence exists and all the proof people give to say otherwise can easily be explained... space missions still go one today and people do still land on the moon. It's not impossible! We should be glad that people are making the effort to study the things around us - though perhaps my only qualm is that the money spent could be better used for something else... like helping the poor

According to Wikipedia, Apollo 11 took five days to reach the moon: they took off on July 16th, 1969, and reached the moon on July 21st, 1969.\n\nLater missions took as little as 3 days to complete.

Each Apollo mission made it possible for the next.  Even though Apollo 11 did what the program intended (land and walk on the moon), every Apollo mission was historic!\n\nNow, lets step back a bit....and I'll tell you this from what I remember as a 7 and 8 year old child!!!\n\n1.  Apollo 7 tested a brand new Service Module (SM) and Command Module (CM) during a week in orbit around the earth.  They tested everything they could on that system, including starting and stopping the hypergolic fueled 22,000lb thrust engine on the SM to ensure it would work once they got to the moon.  Apollo 7, although it is never talked about, paved the way for a mission to the moon with Apollo 8.  Apollo 7 was a phoenix that rose from the ashes of Apollo 1 where three of our astronauts died in a tragic fire.\n\n2.  Because of Apollo 7's resounding success, and some worries about the Russians beating us, they threw the dice and came up with the plan to send Apollo 8 to the moon. So on December 21, 1968 (I was 7 and remember watching this on the TV), Apollo 8 was launched and became the first manned spacecraft to break away from the bonds of Earth's gravitational field. Apollo 8 was the FIRST manned flight of the Mighty Saturn V rocket with its first stage (SV-1) and 5 F-1  engines pumping out 7.5 million pounds of thrust; its 5 J-2 engines, the first engines designed to operate on liquid hydrogen and oxygen in the vacuum of space,  on the 2nd stage (SV-2), and finally its lone J-2 engine on the 3rd stage (SVB-IV) that placed them in a parking orbit around the earth, and then restarted and sent them on their merry way to the moon.    They were put in a free return trajectory meaning that once they got to the moon, they could if they wanted to, slingshot around its backside and then come home.   They didn't do that.  At the precise time the 22,000 hypergolic engine on the SM fired and placed them in orbit around the moon!  For the first time ever, man saw the backside of the moon!  They orbited the moon 10 revolutions during Chrismtas eve and Chrismas day, re-fired that 22,000 engine to break away from the moon's gravitational field and came home and splashed down close to the Christmas Islands.\n\nWho says Apollo 8 is not remembered.  Just look at that picture of earthrise.  That was a first from Apollo 8's cameras & astronauts.   Who can ever forget them reading from the book of Genesis as they orbited the moon.  I certainly won't!\n\n3.  Apollo 9 was the 2nd flight of the Saturn V rocket and they placed a brand new Lunar Excursion Module (LEM, shortened to LM for Lunar Module) in Earth's orbit and proceeded to test the LM until they were satisfied it worked properly.  This meant 2 astronauts leaving their mother ship (CM) and riding around above our atmosphere in a ship with no heatshield and a ship that's walls were made of mylar about as thick as a trojan rubber!  The mission was a resounding success.\n\n4.  Apollo 10 was the 3rd flight of the Saturn V and they took a LM to the moon and tested it.  Part of the mission called for using the descent stage of the LM and getting very close to the surface, but not landing.  They did that and then fired the ascent stage to see if it would work.  Unfortunately, a switch was in a wrong position and the craft started bucking and wobbling all over the place, leading Gene Cernan to say "son-of-a-b!tch" in response to the wild gyrations of the LM.  Needless to say, NASA was not happy with that, but they were glad the 2 astronauts found the switch, changed its position, and then docked with the Apollo 10 CM and came home.\n\n5.  So with Apollo 7's success came Apollo 8, then 9, then 10 and because they were all resoundingly successful in proving the rockets and the equipment, they (Apollo 11)  were able to land on the moon and walk on its surface 6 months before the end of the decade and fulfilling John F. Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the moon and re

In addition to the craft listed in the previous answer, the US sent 7 Surveyor spacecraft to the moon to prepare for the manned landings.\nSurveyors 1,3,5,6 and 7 made successful landings and sent data back to earth.  The Apollo 12 mission landed near Surveyor 3 and brought back some parts for examination.

twelve americans have stepped onto the lunar soil. they are, in order, neil a armstrong and edwin e aldren (apollo 11), charles conrad and alan bean (apollo 12), alan b shepard and edgar d mitchell (apollo 14), david r scott and james b irwin (apollo 15), john w young and charles m duke (apollo 16), and eugene a cernan and harrison h schmidt (apollo 17).\n\nthe second was edwin e aldren.

The Saturn 5 was the rocket that carried the Apollo astronauts into space and eventually to the moon.  Some of the Apollo missions just to orbit were carried via the Saturn 1B.  Since the orbital mission did not need the extra fuel to boost it clear the moon, the Saturn 1B worked well for an orbital launcher.

6 Apollo craft have landed on the moon each with 2 astonauts on the moon lander and one man in the orbital craft. Apollo 11,12,14,15,16,17 have all landed on the moon.\nThese 12 men are the only people to have landed on the moon.
