👉 The Apollo Project, officially known as NASA's Apollo Program, was a series of missions aimed at landing humans on the Moon and returning them safely to Earth. Initiated in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, it was a pivotal part of the U.S. Space Race against the Soviet Union. The project involved the development and testing of the Saturn V rocket, the Lunar Module, and various spacecraft systems. It culminated in seven successful lunar landings between 1969 and 1972, with Apollo 11 being the historic first landing in July 1969. The Apollo Program not only achieved its primary goal of lunar exploration but also significantly advanced space technology and inspired global scientific and technological progress.
