* Launch: The Saturn V rocket accelerated Apollo 11 to about 25,000 mph (40,233 km/h) to enter Earth orbit.
* Trans-Lunar Injection (TLI): After orbiting Earth, the spacecraft performed a burn to send it towards the Moon. This increased its speed to around 24,000 mph (38,624 km/h).
* Lunar Orbit: Once in lunar orbit, the speed was much lower, averaging around 3,600 mph (5,793 km/h).
* Lunar Descent: During the descent to the lunar surface, the speed decreased significantly. The Lunar Module landed at a speed of just 5 mph (8 km/h).
* Lunar Ascent: After the mission on the Moon, the Lunar Module ascended back to lunar orbit, reaching a speed of around 5,000 mph (8,046 km/h).
* Trans-Earth Injection (TEI): To return to Earth, the spacecraft performed a burn, reaching a speed of around 2,400 mph (3,862 km/h).
* Earth Re-entry: As the spacecraft re-entered Earth's atmosphere, it reached a speed of over 25,000 mph (40,233 km/h), generating intense heat.
So, depending on the phase of the mission, Apollo 11 traveled at a range of speeds, from a few miles per hour to over 25,000 mph.
