	taking this quiz today provided one easy answer given that today is the 40th anniversary of the landing. happy 40th!

	JohnTheRev:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 17:11 GMT		15 points
	Great Quiz! 16/24. Remembering names from "Apollo 13" will get you a few you might not know.

	GeoExpert:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 17:19 GMT		6 points
	I hope all of you enjoy this quiz celebrating the 40th anniversary of the historic mission. Perhaps one day there will be a quiz about the facts of a manned Mars landing

	I always wondered why we stopped going to the moon until I realized there's nothing there.

	Matt91486:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 17:24 GMT		4 points
	How come dates aren't accepted in M/D/Y formats?

	lulubelles:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 17:28 GMT		3 points
	Great quiz. Charlie Duke is a legend

	Arkitech_UK:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 17:31 GMT		6 points
	who else for 'landing site' typed in the moon ;) got 11. I know more about the moon than I thought

	marpocky:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 17:35 GMT		2 points
	@jzev: We stopped going to the moon because we ran out of Saturn V's. They wanted to use the rest for Skylab

	@jzev: I hear there will be a really cool amusement park there some day.

	A quiz on all of the Apollo astronauts would also be cool.

	Isstvan:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 17:45 GMT		2 points
	CAPCOM- Post-EVA's name should have a double t on the end of it, not a single one.

	NJScouser:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 18:01 GMT		-2 points
	hahahahahaha @ RyanUR

	BBA:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 18:09 GMT		-3 points
	The launch site is wrong. The rocket launched from Kennedy Space Center, same place, and same pads, used by the Shuttle (Launch Complex 39). Cape Kennedy was a name that was briefly used for Cape Canaveral, which is an Air Force station where we launch unmanned rockets. Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral are right next door to each other, separated by a river - they are not the same place - one is Air Force, the other is NASA. Kennedy Space Center has been so named since December 1963.

	@Bartleby: You'd like to think so. But none of 20-07-69, 20-07-1969, 07-20-69, 07-20-1969, 1969-07-20, 20 July 69, 20 July 1969, July 20 69, July 20 1969, 20th July 69, 20th July 1969 and July 20th 69 is accepted. I gave up on the dates before I hit the magic formula.

	GeoExpert:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 18:11 GMT		-1 points
	@BBA. At the time of the mission, Cape Canaveral was called Cape Kennedy. "39A" is also accepted.

	When I was a kid I thought Lunar missions took like 5 years or more. Damn movies are confusing at that age.

	Leeny:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 18:36 GMT		-3 points
	"Pacific Ocean" is not accepted

	GeoExpert:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 18:38 GMT		0 points
	Well Leeny, it accepts it right when you get "Pacific." Are you spelling it wrong?

	rockgolf:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 18:40 GMT		8 points
	Suggestion: When asking for a date, specific the format. E.g. "Date of moon landing (yyyy/mm/dd)." Or "Launch date (Month day, year)". There's a half dozen valid ways to enter dates. (I note that the comma is mandatory. That seems pointless.)

	i got 5 when i actually only knew one, guessing kennedy for president before nixon brought me some luck

	Journey2688:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 18:45 GMT		26 points
	Did anyone else get the number of orbits simply by guessing the numbers numerically until you got to thirty?

	jessicahope85:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 19:02 GMT		-1 points
	yeah...um... i got 2 answers... Shame

	shnubby:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 19:56 GMT		5 points
	how to guess total hours: take return date, subract launch date. multiply by 24.

	Iceberg:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 20:09 GMT		-2 points
	Kept naming old aircraft carriers until I got the retrieval vessel. Only had to go through about 5 or 6.

	psh, go figure that poor old Michael Collins is forgotten. Only 32.1%.

	Psycho:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 21:14 GMT		3 points
	I got 12 correct, which of them I knew four and guessed right eight.

	Guinevere:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 21:31 GMT		6 points
	Journey2688, I did. I also futzed around with the dates by guessing. Hey, those accounted for 4 of my 9 correct answers.

	I can only remember the year because of the song Ren sang in Even Stevens.

	I cry for the 2.2% who missed Armstrong. I cry bitter tears

	Please accept 'mare tranquilitatis' as equivalent to 'sea of tranquility.'

	15/24, thank god this was all that was on the history channel for the past 2 days.

	MRD:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 22:35 GMT		2 points
	With about 36 percent of people guessing both the launch date and the return date you'd think the duration of the mission would be guessed right more often

	@Geordie: Yeah, we've never given a dime to some third-world hellhole only to see it embezzled or stolen by the dictator of the moment. As for one of the things developed as part of the "wasteful" spending on space travel, how about the satellites and advanced electronic communications that make the Internet (and Sporcle!) possible?

	How about a quiz of the song "Man on the Moon" by REM?
