(Part 2) This exam is primarily about the Apollo Program, which was a step by step process to get to the moon. Know about The Fire: who died in it? What was learned? What Apollo mission was this named? How might it have save the crew of Apollo 13? Know how many Apollo missions that were flown: what was one or more main objective of each mission? How many went out to the moon? How many involved a landing on the moon? How many men walked on the moon? What were some of the obstacles that were overcome on some of these missions? What was Apollo-Soyuz and which Mercury astronaut flew on it? Apollo 8 went to the moon: it was a controversial decision, which did not fit in with the original plans. What are at least two reasons that this new mission for Apollo 8 was undertaken? Apollo 11 was the first landing: What are some of the difficulties did Armstrong and Aldrin experienced during powered descent? Know the story of Apollo 13 (what happened to their space craft? How did they survive?). Which Apollo missions were cancelled? Why? (this is in the book). There are several milestones in an Apollo mission. I outline them below. Be prepared to describe any one of them and know the order in which they take place (given below)
