You mean Apollo 11 and not Apollo 2 correct? NASA has never used Latin numerals for numbering missions because it can lead to confusion. That is definitely Apoolo 11 as Aldrin, Collins, and Armstrong are all recognizable as well as the Apollo 11 mission patch.
Yes, Apollo 11 – I copied what was contained in the url. I thought it awfully late for a second Apollo mission but didn't bother investigating more.
Well, It couldn't have been Apollo 2 because that was an unmanned test-flight that launched in 1966 before Nixon was President.
One of the Apollo mission rockets was just uncovered from the sea.
