Each mission landed two astronauts, so 12 people have walked on the surface of the Moon.<\/span>\u00a0Apollo 11 was the first to actually land, so the numbers in the picture start at 11.<\/p>\n

Apollo 11 was the first to finally land on the Moon, but there were earlier missions, including two that went there, orbited a few times, and came back without landing. The picture only shows the actual landing sites, not all the missions. Apollo 13 did not land \u2013 they had a problem onboard and returned to Earth under emergency conditions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][nectar_btn size=”medium”

Some people call them Moon buggies! The astronauts left them behind when they came back to Earth, so Tanno and Iguda were able to find one. With no atmosphere on the Moon, the lunar rovers haven\u2019t rusted at all.<\/p>\n
