The Greek god, Apollo, is the god of music, singing, poetry, and other acting related things, so I suppose it was to subtlety ask him for luck when the actors performed, or that they were dedicating their performance to Apollo

How was Project Apollo named?

Maybe because Apollo was the Sun God. And when astronots go to space they are sort of going closer to the sun. In my theory it is mostly because Apollo was Sun God and was considered one of the strongest gods. Also because the space craft was in space so they wouldn't name it Athena or something because Apollo makes more sence.


Why are the Apollo spacecrafts called Apollo?

Apollo was the name of the project that was attempting to get men to the moon. The program was named after the Greek god of light and music by NASA manager Abe Silverstein. There were various parts of the mission, starting with basic tests of the components that would be used, such as the modules and the rockets. Some of the missions sent unmanned rockets into space. The first mission was Apollo 1, then Apollo 2 and so on. Apollo 7 was the first of the Apollo missions to take men into space. Apollo 11 was the first one to land on the moon. Apollo 17 was the last Apollo mission.

What happen to the Apollo?

The first three missions of the Apollo Program were unmanned test flights of Apollo hardware. These missions were officially named AS-201, AS-202, and AS-203. The first manned mission was named AS-204. However AS-204 met with disaster, when fire broke out during a routine ground test and all three crew members were killed. The widows of the three astronauts asked NASA to retire the mission naming convention in honor of their husbands. NASA agreed, and AS-204 was renamed Apollo 1. NASA then made the decision that further missions would begin with Apollo 4. It is my pure speculation that the names 2 and 3 were skipped in honor of the Apollo 1 crew. Since there were three astronauts killed, Apollos 1, 2, and 3 were retired in their memory. As such, the next flight was named Apollo 4, so there was no official Apollo 2.
