Apollo was preceded by Project Mercury which pioneered the technology and man's capabilities for manned space flight and by Gemini which significantly extended the technology and experience ' - gained through Mercury Both Mercury and Gemini were programs in which astronauts test piloted spacecraft which were largely experimental, Apollo, on the other hand, calls for an operational spacecraft capable of carrying astronauts safely to and from another body in the solar system.
