To carry out a program of scientific explorations of the Moon; and To develop mans capability to work in the lunar environment. The cumulative experience of Mercury and Gemini started
Apollo with confidence. The mighty Saturn launch vehicles - or both Earth orbit and lunar flights - had perfect test flights. II. Apollo 204/Apollo I: January 27, 1967
