- Grovara123 14y agoHe waited until we got to Mars...
- serge2k 14y agoHumans got to mars? I should pay more attention.
- Grovara123 14y agoyou know what i mean.
- freehunter 14y agoYes, humans got to Mars. Just not in person.
- jhuckestein 14y agoThe earliest attempts at Mars exploration were made by the soviets and NASA in the 60s (largely unsuccessful IIRC). In 1976 NASA successfully landed on the Mars (Viking I) and, even more amazingly, sent back color photos. Curiosity is a great mission, but I'm still more impressed with the Viking missions.
- ricardobeat 14y agoWait and see.
- maartenscholl 14y agoThe Soviet Mars-2 and Mars-3 missions were quite successful (orbiting and landing). Here is a gallery of mars images 1971-1974[1] The soviets were also the first to land on Luna in 1966 [2] and on Venus in 1975[3] [1]http://www.mentallandscape.com/C_CatalogMars.htm http://www.mentallandscape.com/C_CatalogMars.htm [2]http://www.mentallandscape.com/C_CatalogMoon.htm http://www.mentallandscape.com/C_CatalogMoon.htm [3]http://www.mentallandscape.com/C_CatalogVenus.htm http://www.mentallandscape.com/C_CatalogVenus.htm

- nikcub 14y agothe lack of basic knowledge about human achievement in space is depressing
- daeken 14y agoThere have been 13 moon walks since the Apollo 11 mission in which he was the first to walk on the moon, spanning 5 missions from 1969-1972, FYI. He was the first, but definitely not the last.

- wazoox 14y agoThis snarky comment is quite superfluous, I say.
- daeken 14y agoI'm sorry if this came off in a snarky way. I simply wanted to talk about our moon history.
- corin_ 14y agoNot sure what was snarky about it, other than the fact that he pointed out that you were incorrect.. He didn't say it rudely at all?
- randallsquared 14y agoThey are different conversations. The first is about humanity returning to the moon, having stopped going, and the other is about people in the first batch.
- wazoox 14y agoMisunderstanding both ways, obviously. I'm old enough to have seen Apollo flights live on TV, so his interpretation of my post makes absolutely no sense at all to me (except as a contemptuous insult). "Return to the moon" can only mean "a new post-Apollo mission".
- ColinWright 14y agoI would've thought it was obvious that he was referring to the past-Apollo era. Did you really not think that? I'd've thought it obvious that Armstrong was aware of all the Apollo missions, so the comment could hardly have been taken as you imply. And there weren't 13 moon walks after Apollo11, there were 26 in total. There were13 periods of EVA, each with two astronauts.
