In a space trip there is always a history and story implicit in it. As in the second mission when humans landed on the moon, Apollo 12, which has successfully brought humans for the second time landing on the moon.
when the first mission was successfully launched and returned to earth, the success of the moon landing for the first time was the apollo 11 mission, the mission eventually motivated and became an achievement to make scientists again want to set foot a month for the second time, the ambisus mission was called the apollo mission 12. This second mission is no less important than the first mission, because this second mission is a continued achievement of the first mission.

After the first Apollo project experienced great success, the Apollo 12 Project was a mission to send people to the surface of the moon for the second time. Quoted from the History page, the Apollo 12 rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral, located in Florida on November 14, 1969.
On that mission the Apollo 12 rocket brought 3 astronauts, the three astronauts were Conrad Jr., Rochard F. Gordon Jr., and another astronaut named Alan L.Bean. The mission of the three astronauts is to explore as long as possible on the surface of the moon and take from the surface of the moon that is needed for research on earth.
when it was agreed that it was ongoing, the mission was recorded and broadcast in many media outlets and it became the talk of many people who watched it. Not only the public, American President Richard Nixon can immediately accept the 12 believers in the area allowed cape Canaveral Now it is a matter of pride and is the development of modern rocket technology throughout the history of liquid-fuel rocket technology.
However, it ended with a lightning strike on the Saturn 5 rocket which caused some damage, one of which was the fall of the circuit installed in the command module which caused power damage to the Saturn V rocket,

When discussing the Apollo mission, it is incomplete if we do not discuss Rocket which has contributed to the mission. On apollo 11 and 12 missions, Rocket saturn V is part of the mission, naming it in the embed with a roman number if you glance like the letter V, but this is clearly a number 5 in naming the 5th sequence of roman numerals.
In the Saturn V rocket to date it is the largest rocket ever made by NASA with 111 meters high, this is equivalent to a building that has 36 floors. Can you imagine how high the rocket. The Saturn V rocket weighs 2.8 million kilograms. If compared to an elephant, it requires around 400 elephants to match the weight of the rocket.
There is also another fact that says, the rocket carries fuel that can be used by a car to circle the earth 800 times. If I use it only for work, maybe this fuel won't run out for life.
Not only that, according to known information, the thrust on the Saturn V rocket has a thrust of 34.5 million newtons. This is the greatest thrust ever produced by a rocket in the history of man-made rocket. When viewed from the thrust generated by the Rocket Saturn V, the rocket is able to lift and carry a load of 118 tons to enter and orbit in Earth's orbit.
When some components are released, the load that will go to the moon weighs 43.5 tons or about 45,000 Kilograms towards the moon's orbit and surface.
In the history of Apollo, Apollo 8 became the first Saturn V rocket trial mission by involving humans as crews in the rocket. In the experimental mission, Apollo 8 successfully orbited the moon, but without setting foot on the surface of the moon, but only observed the surface area and surface state of the moon.
Followed by sending a vehicle to study the conditions on the moon, through the apollo 9 and also 10. From the information and data obtained from the two missions, the 11th apollo mission finally landed the first man to the surface of the moon. From the trial mission to the first landing mission, it was not short, everything took a long time, until finally the landing mission was truly successful.
The Apollo mission with the Saturn V rocket was an ambitious mission which at that time was carried out by Nasa, this mission was not only related to the name Nasa, but to boast the United States in the arena of rocket technology and space competition that occurred at that time between the Soviets and the United States.
In the making and development of Saturn V developed at a facility owned by NASA called the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, United States. At that time the Nasa space flight was still dominated and held by the United States military body, Saturn V was an advanced series of several rockets that had successfully developed the first series of Saturn I and Saturn IB which were used to launch humans into Earth orbit.
On November 9, 1967, when Saturn V was successfully launched for the first time in part of the Apollo 4. mission and then, in 1968, the Apollo 6 mission experienced the same success. At the launch, a trial is being carried out for the Rocket V Saturn, as preliminary data that will be used for analysis
In the first moon landing of a human, Neil Armstrong and his friends before carrying out the mission had experienced many obstacles, not only before the launch took place, after going out of Earth's orbit to glide moon too, they experienced problems when going into the orbit of the moon. But do you know, that to go to an outer space object like the moon, there are several methods that must be applied there, so if you want to leave the earth then you must understand these methods.
