THE APOLLO MISSIONS

THE APOLLO MISSIONS

• By Gabrielle Van Sant

APOLLO 1

• Apollo 1 had a big fire during training and
  killed 3 people.
• The fire was because of the oxygen.
• It was a very small space craft.

3
WHAT HAPPENED?

• The people were afraid after the big fire of
  Apollo. That was the worst thing. There was a
  spark that flew, and because of having pure
  oxygen in the air it caused a big fire. The
  people burned to death within about 6 seconds.

APOLLO 7

• Apollo 7 was basically the second Apollo.
• After the fire the people who created it looked
  over what was wrong and made a new one.
• Apollo 7 only orbited the Earth.

5
Successful Journeys

• They were able to see the world from a whole
  different point of view.
• Apollo was successful in orbiting the Earth and
  returning.
• Apollo 11,12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 all landed on
  the moon.

APOLLOS 18,19,and 20

• The Apollos 18, 19, and 20 were cancelled.
• Not many people know about the cancelled
  missions.
• There was only one website that I went on that
  had Apollos 18, 19, 20.

12
Conclusion

• My experience with this project was great. I
  learned a lot. It was fun seeing the older space
  crafts, and learning about their differences. I
  used to think they were all the same, but now I
  know their not. Thanks to this project I know a
  lot more about these space crafts than before.
