Apollo Missions
NASA's Apollo missions sent people to the moon for the first time. Apollo 11's LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) landed on the moon on July 20, 1969 with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin (Michael Collins was in the orbiter).
Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin Aldrin backs out of the Lunar Module "Eagle" just hours after he and crewmate Neil Armstrong became the first men to land on the Moon, on July 20, 1969.
Apollodorus was a Greek writer who produced an encyclopedic summary of Greek myths called the Library; I referred to the Loeb translation by Sir J. G. Frazer.
Apollo 11 was launched from the Kennedy Space Centre on 16 July, 1969. On board were Neil Armstrong, the Commander of the Mission, Michael Collins, the command module pilot, and Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin, lunar module pilot.
Apollo would have none of it, and threw all three: the crow, the goblet, and the water snake, into the heavens. For penance, the crow was made to suffer eternal thirst (and this makes the bird caw raucously instead of sing like normal birds).

NASA's Apollo space program ran from 1961 to 1975. The mission goal and accomplishment was to put man on the moon.
