Apollo 11 was the first manned Mission to the moon. Neil A. Armstrong was the first man to ever set foot on the moon along with Micheal Collins and Buzz Aldrin.
Neil A. Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin collected almost 48 lbs of Lunar Materials to be brought back to Earth and be examined, While Armstrong and Aldrin were collection Materials on the surface of the moon, Michael Collins, piloted the command spacecraft alone in lunar orbit until Armstrong and Aldrin returned to it just under a day later for the trip back to Earth.
The total mission time of Apollo 11 was 8 days, 3 hours, 18 minutes, 35 seconds. The landing site of Apollo 11 was near the Sea of Tranquillity, When Apollo 11 was landing Neil A. Armstrong took semi-automatic control of the space shuttle and with Buzz Aldrin saying the velocity and the altitude, they did land safely with about 25 seconds of fuel left in the tank. With much less fuel in the tank than other missions, the main reason behind it was greater amounts of propellent "slosh" than normal,on subsequent missions the added extra anti-slosh baffles added to the tanks to prevent that from happening again.
The Gravity on the moon is one sixth's of that on Earth. Armstrong said that movement on the Moon was no trouble at all, even easier than a simulation he said. Loping (Stepping with larger strides) was the preferred method of movement on the moon Armstrong and Aldrin said. They had to plan their moves 5 or 6 actions before they could do the next because they said that the surface of the moon was quite slippery.

Here is the Apollo 11 crew after they have returned from the Moon, they are being visited by Richard Nixon the President of the United States of America at the time. When they landed back on Earth they were taken to a hanger bay where they walked almost 10 meters and walked into where they would spend the next 21 days of the quarantine process, They did this for two more Apollo missions until they found out that there was no harmful substances or any sort of life forms on the moon that could potentially harm them.
The International Space Station is a space station or a satellite. It has been in low-earth orbit since MIR crashed and burned up in 2000. Since then the International Space Station has replaced MIR and is now the biggest thing in orbit of the earth, sometimes can even be seen with the naked eye at the appropriate times of day. According to NASA the International Space Station was meant to be a space laboratory and observatory in space.
The International Space Station provides a platform of work that is unable to be completed in any other way. combined together with access for researchers for long periods of time that go over the abilities of manned spacecraft's.
The Earth's gravity is only slightly less then the altitude of the international space station, in low earth orbit. That means all objects are in a continuous free-fall. there is five things in total that affect the properties of the item such as the weight:
-Effects from the Earth's atmosphere.
-What happens on he International Space Station Itself.
-Movements of he International Space Station.
-Tidal Affects
-Thruster firings and altitude adjusters
Construction began on the International Space Station in November 1998, The first model of the International Space Station was named Zayra was launched in November 1998, Zayra is a proton rocket that is used for Russian Space launchers, It has had 390 launchers, 340 of them being successful. Two weeks after the Zayra rocket launched, Unity attached to Zayra by astronauts. This module had basically two sections, one that permanently connected to Zayra and another that allows other space crafts to dock into the space station.
The first crew aboard the station was called Expedition 1. They arrived in the Soyuz TM-31 rocket. At the end of the first day at the station they decided to change the radio name from "Alpha" to "International Space Station", It's been called that ever since.
Here is a diagram of the International Space Station.

Mir just like the International Space Station was in low Earth orbit from the years of 1986 until 2001. In the beginning, MIR was owned by the Soviet Union, now Russia owns it. until the International Space Station was funded, MIR held the record for the largest satellite orbiting the earth. MIR had the largest research program and also for the longest time research program.
The main source of MIR's power supply for all things on board were an array of solar panels powered by the sunlight in order to obtain the power MIR needs to operate the gear on board.
Radio communications provided a from of communication between the Mission control and MIR, the radio communications were normally used for docking and rendezvous tasks.
The Micro gravity of MIR was 88% of the sea level on Earth. the five sperate effects that made the feel on the inside of the MIR seem weightless and almost like a constant free fall. This was affected by five things similar to the International Space Station.
-The drag of the atmosphere
-The acceleration caused on board by the crew and the mechanical systems on board
-On board gyroscopes or thruster firings
-Tidal forces, since MIR was not always the exact same distance from Earth, so sometimes MIR was exposed to different accelerations from the tidal forces.
-The difference in which the components of MIR were not on the same orbital plane all at once.

This is a picture of MIR in high orbit of earth during one of the rotations.
Similar to the International Space Station all of the MIR modules were each launched by their own Proton-K rocket and fired at the desired location, when the components arrived at the location they were attached to the main frame of MIR in space.
The first section of MIR was launched then every year until EO-19 and EO-20 were launched which then the very last part of MIR was a docking module launched in 1996. Out of all of the sections there were seven in total including:
-The core module of MIR
-Kvant-1
-Kvant-2
-Kritall
-Spektr
-A Docking Module
-Priroda
