Apollo 1
Apollo 1 was to be NASA's first manned lunar landing mission; yet, due to the unlucky mishap on January 27 1967, during a test flight, the AS-204 and its crew never made it to the moon on their potential launch date, February 21 1967. Virgil Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee lost their lives in the fire that consumed the aircraft. The cause of fire was put down to electrical issues. As a result, the mission was not successful.

Apollo 4
Apollo 4 was the first official unmanned test flight, set by NASA, for the Saturn V launch, which was initially meant to happen on February 21 1967. One crucial improvement that was made was thicker walls which aided in handling the increased pressure. This mission was successful as NASA achieved three orbits in an astounding time of 8 hours and 36 minutes.

Apollo 9 was NASA's third manned mission to space. James McDivitt, Russell Schweickart, and David Scott were sent into space on March 3 1969 in the Apollo CSM-104; their mission was to test lunar hardware in Earth orbit with an LM (Lunar Module). The mission was successful as the LM survived the manned spaceflight. -
