There have been five other manned landings on the moon, and one aborted (Apollo 13, which was made famous by the Tom Hanks movie from a few years back...) Among many, many unmanned missions, the dates for manned missions were as follows:

July 16, 1969 (Apollo 11) -- The famous moon landing with Neil Armstrong and Ed Aldrin.
And subsequently:

November 14, 1969 (Apollo 12)
January 31, 1971 (Apollo 14)
July 26, 1971 (Apollo 15)
April 16, 1972 (Apollo 16)
December 7, 1972 (Apollo 17)


But what about Apollo 18?

Apollo 18 was cancelled by Nixon. The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, a joint space mission between the US and Soviet Union used parts of the hardware (rockets/spacecraft) designated earlier for 18. Skylab also used old Apollo hardware.
ok...enough history lesson.


and have you ever put Apollo 18 on "random" play? that's some fun listenin'! [see Tobafett's 1st mix cd for one of those odd tracks]

So THAT'S why Flansburgh hates him so much!

And yeah, I've listened to it on random. Good stuff.
