Third, actually. Apollo 9 tested the LM in Earth orbit and Apollo 10 was a "dry-run" lunar landing. And that's just counting the space tests. |
I guess I should have clarified that. I meant the first fully field test of what is what designed to do. i.e. land and take-off from the moon with human and lunar cargo.
I guess HB's think we don't fly experimental aircraft until we know it's going to fly. Of course how we know it's going to fly without actually flying it is beyond me.
