NASA's Apollo Program began with Kennedy's goal to land a man on the Moon by the 1960s, driven by the space race against the USSR. Despite the Apollo 1 tragedy, NASA achieved milestones like Apollo 8’s lunar orbit and Apollo 11’s historic Moon landing in 1969, led by Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins. Declining interest and funding shifted focus to research, with Apollo 13’s near-disaster showcasing the resilience of astronauts and Mission Control.
