Traveling to the Moon and Back |

| The Apollo 11 mission to the Moon involved a complicated, carefully timed series of stages, as shown here. The journey to the Moon is shown as a yellow line, while the return trip is indicated by a blue line. Space travel would be impossible without precise mathematical calculations of acceleration, distance, gravitational pull, friction, and so on. | ||||||
