FACTS

The Apollo program cost American taxpayers over 25 billion dollars (in 1960s prices) — more than 150 billion dollars in today’s money.
All 12 people who have ever stood on the Moon belonged to the Apollo program between 1969 and 1972 — no one has stood on the Moon since.
The name Apollo was proposed in 1960 by NASA manager Abe Silverstein, after the Greek god of the sun and light — he was inspired by the image of the god driving his chariot across the sky.

Gemini as a Backup Program to Apollo

The Gemini program was approved as a bridge between Mercury and Apollo — it proved techniques (orbital rendezvous, spacewalks, long-duration flights) without which a Moon landing would not have been possible, while also serving as a backup test platform in case Apollo was delayed.
