The Apollo program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was the first and only program of it’s kind and was the first and only program to land humans on Earth’s Moon(1969 through 1972). Conceived during the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Apollo began in earnest after President John F. Kennedy proposed the national goal of “landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth” by 1969 in a May 25, 1961 address to Congress.<\/p>\n

Kennedy’s goal was accomplished when the Apollo 11 mission (astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin) landed the Lunar Module ,”Eagle”, on the Moon and walked on its surface (July 20, 1969).
