To this day, only men have walked on the moon during NASA's Apollo missions, with a total of 12 people having accomplished this feat. Despite this, there are still many individuals who do not believe that humans have actually set foot on the moon.
This will be the first time since 1972 that a crewed spacecraft will reach the Moon.
