Answer:

Apollo 11 - 8.35 * 10^1 kilometers/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary objective of Apollo 11 was to complete a national goal set by President John F. Kennedy on May 25, 1961: perform a crewed lunar landing and return to Earth.

Additional flight objectives included scientific exploration by the lunar module, or LM, crew; deployment of a television camera to transmit signals to Earth; and deployment of a solar wind composition experiment, seismic experiment package and a Laser Ranging Retroreflector. During the exploration, the two astronauts were to gather samples of lunar-surface materials for return to Earth. They also were to extensively photograph the lunar terrain, the deployed scientific equipment, the LM spacecraft, and each other, both with still and motion picture cameras. This was to be the last Apollo mission to fly a "free-return" trajectory, which would enable a return to Earth with no engine firing, providing a ready abort of the mission at any time prior to lunar orbit insertion.

Answer:

The average speed of Luna I was 1.76 x 10^2 kilometers/minutes. The average speed of Apollo 11 was 8.35 x 10^1.

The average speed of Luna I was greater than the average speed of Apollo 11. So, Luna I traveled at a faster pace than Apollo 11.
