History

Apollo 11 was the culmination of a decade of hard work by NASA to achieve a goal set forth by President John F. Kennedy. In response to the Soviet Unions success in launching Sputnik, an orbiting satellite, NASA and the American people were challenged by the president in a famous speech to send a man to the moon and return him safely to the surface of the Earth before the decade was out.
