Question

Why does the apollo splash down interesting

Answer 1

Answer:

The reason its special is because the spacecraft orbited the moon 10 times and then returned to Earth for a December 27 splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. The Apollo 8 mission was described as 99.9 percent perfect and it cleared the way for a manned lunar landing seven months later. The Command Module was transferred to the Smithsonian in 1971.
