Well, you beat me to it, because I'd have picked the same. But I'd also go with Shepard's and Glenn's flights, the excitement of the 'beginning'. I'm also a big fan of the Voyager missions... as nobody ever expected them to last as long as they have, especially with the crude technology (by today's standards) used at the time.

Voyager 2. Granted, it was just flybys, but of 4 planets, and the first encounter for 2 of them. Plus there's the ongoing interstellar exploration aspect...

My favorite mission is 11

Pioneer? Gemini? STS? (okay, most likely Apollo, but...)

edit: Mariner 11 is hilariously appropriate.

voyager 1 & 2 are my next pick

yea it was apollo sorry

[Newt]

I, personally like Voyager Mars.

(Which later turned into Viking, which was really successful)

Cassini. A moon lander hitch hiked on it, and it's like an outpost orbiting Saturn.

Gemini 7, however, was a very close second.

I am really looking forward to the pics from new horizons. I have a soft spot for pluto since he got demoted...

[megatiger78]

why only NASA? SPUTNIK!

Sputnik was whatever the communist tussian space program was called.

also Apollo 11 is the first or second most important momen in human history so far.

(after sputnik)

Well, Apollo 11 was pretty major but I gotta hand it to Apollo 13. While technically a failure, all the things they had to go through were amazing, and they did it. Props to them.

funny you say that, im watching apollo 13 now

Apollo 12, because that crew really knew how to have a good time and sounded like that throughout the mission.

[Yukon0009]

I've got a number of these.

Apollo 11, "cause the crew were sheer badS. And don't forget Mike Collins.

Explorer 1 "cause everyone overlooks it when mentioning Nasa missions.

Freedom 7, cause Alan was a total badS.

[Ikaneko]

Too many to choose from...

Well, freedom 7, explorer 1, Gemini, Cassini, Dawn, New Horizons, Apollo 11, Apollo 12, Apollo 13, (All other Apollos), Ares 3 (Oh wait. Who else gets it?), Oppy, Curiosity...

The list goes on. I should probably update my sig...

[Nibb31]

Apollo 12, because of the pinpoint landing, and how cool it is to land so close to another spacecraft and to bring stuff back.

Apollo 17, because the J missions were starting to get really in swing with the long duration EVAs, the SIM bay experiments, and the rovers.

[Godot]

Definitely Voyager, because it told us so much about our solar system.

Second in place maybe New Horizons ... because we finally will be able to see Yuggoth from near, the home planet of the Mi-Go

Either this, or Cassini-Huygens

[UmbralRaptor]

I suppose we should feel bad that no one has said Hubble. Still not changing from Voyager 2, though. >_>

fine ESA....... UM...UM.....AH STAYPUTNIK?

Giotto! Hyugens!

[Kryten]

Explorer 1 "cause everyone overlooks it when mentioning Nasa missions.

explorer 1

Predated the formation of NASA by nearly six months. That was an Army project, specifically ABMA.

Giotto! Hyugens!

thats true

[Camacha]

I think the Venera landers were a pretty cool project. Yeah, no NASA, but geography is trivial when looking at it from space.

yea it really is

[CelticCossack51]

I thought that the Apollo-Soyuz test project was interesting with two rivals cooperating with each other.

[mythbusters844]

My favorite is Apollo 7, due to how interesting it is. Read through the Wikipedia article if you're curious (which I found quite humorous). Schirra also has to be one of my favorite astronauts since he's quite funny on all of his missions, including Apollo 7.

Galileo! Pioneer! Viking! Surveyor!
