To reach the Moon, one must travel through space to land on its surface. Historically, this has been achieved through the use of spacecraft launched from Earth, with the first successful Moon landing occurring in 1969 as part of NASA’s Apollo 11 mission.
Reaching the Moon offers scientific and exploration benefits, allowing for the study of lunar geology, composition, and potential resources. It also serves as a stepping stone for future space missions, with plans for a sustained human presence on the Moon and even potential missions to Mars.
