NASA's historic moon mission (6)

I believe the answer is:

apollo

(Other definitions for apollo that I've seen before include "Lad who's striking" , "US moon landing programme" , "source of name for far-flung missions" , "handsome fellow" , "US spacecraft" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
