Apollo 11 Moon Landing, 1969 Apollo 11 was the goal set by US President John F. Kennedy in 1961: a mission to perform a crewed lunar landing and return to Earth. Besides exploration the crew also aimed to deploy a television camera to transmit signals back to Earth. œThat's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind" Neil Armstrong In fact, the landing was almost a failure due to the œexecutive overflows (1201 and 1202) alarms by the Landing Module guidance computer, it means the computer could not complete all its tasks in real time.
