Ranger

The Lunar Ranger program was a series of missions by the United States to photograph and then impact on the moon. Rangers 1-5 (August 1961- October 1962) failed. Ranger 6 succeeded in hitting the moon, although the television camera failed. Rangers 7, 8, and 9 (july 964-March 1965) succeeded.

The lesson of the early Ranger failures is to keep on trying.
