The Apollo project was held to collect data about what lies in the interior of the moon in 1969. The first man, Neil Armstrong, to set foot on the moon's surface was followed by Edwin Aldrin for the Apollo 11 project. Radio communications were used to communicate as the sound waves do not travel because of absence of air and atmosphere.
