The first spacecraft to land on the Moon often veered off its intended course on the way there.
Yet it was still able to arrive safely on the Moon because its target was constantly kept in sight.
Neil Armstrong, captain of Apollo 11, said:
“Whenever the spacecraft strayed even slightly off course, we immediately made corrections. Each time we veered off, we corrected it again and again. Thanks to that, we were able to safely reach our destination, the Moon.”
