Thank god people here are smarter than nisha... The "wind" you speak of is nothing more than a stiffener in the flag that kept it unfolded, and gave it the impression that there was something blowing it. If you watch the movies of the moon landings the flag never actually moves, once placed on the moon. (If there were wind it would have)... Where do people think up this stuff... I once saw a video where Buzz Aldrin punched out a guy for calling him a liar and a coward saying that he had never landed on the moon. I would think that if a 70 year old guy could muster up the gusto to deck some idiot who has no idea what hes talking about, we should take Aldrin's word for it.

And yes 12 people have been on the Moon is 6 Apollo landings.

To add to that, NASA is beginning work on the Ares program which consists of an HLV (heavy lift vehicle), and the CLV (crew launch vehicle) which will be taking us back to the Moon. I work for a contractor on the CLV program, and information can be found at nasa.gov, atk.com and several other sites.

There have been five other landings: Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17. Apollo 13 suffered a near-catastrophic failure on the way to the moon, and was aborted in mid-flight. Each mission had a three-man crew; two members from each crew landed on the moon.

The last three Apollo missions, Apollos 15-17, were long term missions (called "J" missions by the NASA administration); they carried rovers to allow for a bit more manueverability and had stays of up to three days apiece. The only pure "research scientist" to land on the moon was Harrison Schmitt on Apollo 17.

They originally planned three more missions to the moon: Apollo 18, 19 and 20; Apollo 20 was cancelled because the booster rocket was needed for a long-term space station intended for the late 70s and through the 80s. This turned out to be Skylab which, ironically, couldn't stay in orbit long enough for the first shuttle flight in 1981. The other two Apollo lunar missions were cut for budgetary reasons.

In addition, three unmanned lunar sample return missions were launched by the Russians; Luna 16, 20 and 24. They were able to collect samples autonomously, but the sample size was much less than the Apollo missions. As a comparison, the three missions combined collected 0.66 lb of samples, while the Apollo missions collected 842 lb.

Six Apollo missions landed on the moon: 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17. Apollo 13 would have, as well, but was damaged in flight.

^ Nisha does not have a clue what she is talking about.

There were 12 people total on the moon. The Apollo series was supposed to go to Apollo 20 but they cancelled the last three.
