They put the whole space crew of Ken Mattingly, Will Mendosa, and Billie Irwin on the moon.

  • Conclusion

    Thank you for looking at my Space Timeline. You should have learned about the successes and failures of Apollo Missions. I hope you also learned that NASA proved to the world that space travel was not just science fiction, but it could be real! It was an important lesson to everyone, that imagination and innovation can change life as we know it! Thanks for reading my Space Timeline!
