It was the first crewed spacecraft to operate exclusively in the airless vacuum of space, and remains the only ...
The European Space Agency created 3D-printed bricks inspired by LEGO made from 4.5-billion-year-old meteorite dust, a significant step toward lunar construction.
The Soviet Union also considered several direct ascent strategies, though in the end they settled on an approach similar to NASA's: two men in a Soyuz spacecraft with a one-man LK lander. The Soviets attempted to launch the N1 rocket on 21 February and 3 July 1969, both of which failed, before NASA's Apollo 11 lifted off and made the first ...
