The goal of Apollo missions was to land a man to the Moon and to study the Moon extensively. I think these missions (trips to the Moon) demonstrate in detail how the process of scientific exploration really works. At the time of the first mission(1961) the spaceships were not as advanced as now and first of all it took several missions without crew to study the Moon orbit and conditions required for a spaceship to be able to reach the moon, stay there for the time of experiments, and bring the astronauts back. The mission that actually landed astronauts to the Moon happened in 1969. It took 8 years to prepare everything needed, and to achieve
