How many times have we landed on the moon?

Question

how many persons have actually stepped foot on the moon. I heard its 12, but im not sure.

Answer 1

By "we" if you mean the United States, then we have landed on the moon 6 successful times during the Apollo program.

Ignore the people that say it was faked. They have fallen into a deep black ditch of flawed logic and ignorance created by the moon-hoaxers. All conspiracy theories can be easily de-bunked, and there is an overwhelming amount of proof that we did land on the moon.

Apollo 11

Apollo 12

Apollo 14

Apollo 15

Apollo 16

Apollo 17

all landed on the moon.

And yes, 12 men did walk on the moon:

Neil Armstrong - Apollo 11 - July, 1969

Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin - Apollo 11 - July, 1969

Charles "Pete" Conrad - Apollo 12 - November, 1969 (may have been scheduled to land again on Apollo 20, though unlikely as he had already walked on the Moon)

Alan Bean - Apollo 12 - November, 1969

Alan Shepard - Apollo 14 - February, 1971

Edgar Mitchell - Apollo 14 - February, 1971

David Scott - Apollo 15 - July, 1971

James Irwin - Apollo 15 - July, 1971

John Young - Apollo 16 - April, 1972 (also on Apollo 10, without landing)

Charles Duke - Apollo 16 - April, 1972

Eugene Cernan - Apollo 17 - December, 1972 (also on Apollo 10, without landing)

Harrison Schmitt - Apollo 17 - December, 1972

If you have questions about the conspiracy theories, please post so we can show you how flawed they really are.

John C is right, and I am about to end the battle right now.

The Apollo missions left laser relfectos on the moon that astronomers use to this day to calculate the moon's position. Although a rover could perform this task today, the technology didn't exist back then. We were also in a space race with the Russians... if anyone was going to come out and say we didn't land on the moon it would be the Russians.

The flag was standing up on the moon because it was held up by a springy horizontal bar, it wasn't waving it was just crumpled; multiple shadows were a result of the sunlight being reflected in multiple ways by the highly reflective lunar surface, lunar module, and the astronautes space suits; stars are hard to see in the photographs because of the reflected light from the sun mixed with crappy cameras; they could survive the Van Allen radiation belts because they were only exposed to 2 rems of radiation over a course of 30 minutes while the lethal dossage is 350-400 rems over the period of 1-2 hours.

Answer 5

There were 6 landings on the moon. Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, & 17. You are correct; 12 astronauts have stepped foot on the lunar surface. john c, you must be physic. Could i possibly get a palm-reading, too?

Answer 6

Yeah, 12 is right.  There were 6 moon landings between 1969 and 1972.

Apollo 11  July 20, 1969

Apollo 12 November 19, 1969

Apollo 14 February 5, 1971

Apollo 15 July 31, 1971

Apollo 16 April 20, 1972

Apollo 17 December 11, 1972

Apollo 13 never landed on the moon because of a malfunction.

Answer 7

Why come here.  Go look up Apollo on Wikipedia and read all about it.

That aint difficult, surely?
