2. THE APOLLO MISSIONS By: Gabrielle Van Sant

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Successful Journey’s 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.

12. APOLLO’S 18,19,and 20 The Apollo’s 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 Apollo’s 18, 19, 20.

13. 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.
