[Answer] Which of these astronauts did NOT walk on the Moon?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which of these astronauts did NOT walk on the Moon?"



...Although Michael Collins was a key member of the historic Apollo 11 crew, he never set foot on the lunar surface. While Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon, Collins remained in lunar orbit aboard the Command Module Columbia, performing critical navigation, communication, and spacecraft maintenance tasks. His role was essential to the mission’s success—without his steady command, Armstrong and Aldrin wouldn’t have had a ride home. Despite never walking on the Moon, Collins is celebrated as one of NASA’s most accomplished and respected astronauts.

[Answer] Which country was chosen by NASA for Apollo astronaut training due to its strikingly moonlike terrain?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which country was chosen by NASA for Apollo astronaut training due to its strikingly moonlike terrain?"



...When NASA searched for Earth locations that mimicked the barren, volcanic, crater-scarred surface of the Moon, Iceland stood out as one of the best natural training grounds. Its rugged lava fields, ash plains, and young terrain offered Apollo astronauts a realistic environment for practicing tasks such as geology surveys, sample collection, and navigation. Beginning in the mid-1960s, crews from the Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 missions—traveled to Iceland for field exercises. These sessions helped astronauts refine the scientific skills they would later use during their journeys to the lunar surface.

[Answer] Which character in The Great Gatsby serves as the novel’s narrator?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which character in The Great Gatsby serves as the novel’s narrator?"



...F. Scott Fitzgerald frames The Great Gatsby through the observant, quietly reflective voice of Nick Carraway. A Midwesterner who moves to Long Island to learn the bond business, Nick becomes the lens through which readers experience Gatsby’s lavish parties, the tangled relationships of East Egg society, and the underlying moral decay of the Jazz Age. His narration shapes the tone of the novel—sympathetic yet skeptical—and offers critical distance from the glamour and tragedy surrounding Jay Gatsby’s pursuit of the American Dream.
