Far above the Earth, NASA's Apollo lunar lander put astronauts on the moon
NASA's Apollo program used lunar landers to put 12 astronauts on the moon, starting with Apollo 11's Eagle module in 1969. The descent stages of these landers remain on the moon, while private companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing new lunar landers for NASA's Artemis program, aiming for a return to the moon by 2028.
