As the deadline drew near, NASA finally prepares to send astronauts beyond Earth's orbit, and Apollo 8 became the first spacecraft to go into lunar orbit in 1968. With just about one year left to meet the late President John F. Kennedy's ambitious goal to reach the Moon by the end of the decade, time is running low for NASA.

In more recent years, the European Space Agency has been developing a brand new type of vehicle, capable of re-entering Earth orbit. Learn more about the Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV) as one of the stepping stones for future missions.

    I have a question. Why do the astronauts have to wear a full space suit for launch and how do they get out of them after launch.

    Current ESA projects have nothing to do with the events during the Apollo program. These segments, almost half the video, come across as advertising propaganda for the ESA and are a complete waste of time for someone wanting to learn about Apollo. Whomever is producing these videos need to go back to school and learn how to stay on target with the subject matter.

    Anyone believing man has been to the moon are crazy, especially when Apollo 11 had the compute power of a calculator to get them there. 99% of all modern rockets explode before they even get to space.
