What did the Apollo missions fail
Two Apollo missions were failures: a 1967 cabin fire killed the entire Apollo 1 crew during a ground test in preparation for what was to be the first crewed flight; and the third landing attempt on Apollo 13 was aborted by an oxygen tank explosion en route to the Moon, which disabled the CSM Odyssey's electrical power
What did Neil Armstrong struggle with
Neil Armstrong was born on August 5, 1930 in Wapakoneta, Ohio. The hardest challenge he had in his life was that he was born with a heart disease called coronary artery disease. He had a heart attack in 1991. When he was 82 and healthy he had to have quadruple heart bypass surgery.
What was the 1201 alarm on Apollo 11
On Apollo 11, each time a 1201 or 1202 alarm appeared, the computer rebooted, restarted the important stuff, like steering the descent engine and running the DSKY to let the crew know what was going on, but did not restart all the erroneously-scheduled rendezvous radar jobs.

Why was the Apollo 13 a successful failure
Why is Apollo 13 a successful failure? The Apollo 13 crew was going to die but they survived and return home. Apollo 13 was called a successful failure because it was a mission to the moon, the astronauts overcame challenges, and return home. It's important to first note that it was a mission to the moon.
Is Apollo 11 Eagle still in orbit
showed that Eagle could theoretically still be in lunar orbit.

What went wrong with Apollo 11
During the nail biting 12.5 minute descent from lunar orbit, the LM's onboard computer (most critically needed during landing) shut down and recycled 5 times due to an erroneous checklist that had the crew turn on their ship's radar too early resulting in multiple data overloads.
Did Apollo 13 survive
The command module of Apollo 13 entered Earth's atmosphere and splashed down on target on April 17 at 1:07 PM Eastern Standard Time. The mission has been referred to as a successful failure, in that all the crew members survived a catastrophic accident.
What happened when Neil and Buzz landed on Earth
Armstrong and Aldrin then moved into Eagle and landed in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20. The astronauts used Eagle's ascent stage to lift off from the lunar surface and rejoin Collins in the command module.
