The rocket and spacecraft, 363 feet tall on the launch pad, lifted off from a spaceport area jammed with hundreds of thousands of visitors for a glimpse of the start. Orbit was achieved 11 minutes and 53 seconds after blastoff. For three days, ihe astronauts will soar outward on a quarter- million-mile voyage through space and then fire themselves orbit 69 miles above the lunar surface. On- Sunday afternoon, Armstrong and "Buzz" Aldrin are to detach the fragile, spider-like lunar command iship and -ride it to the imoon's-surface.

(AP) -Here are the facts and figures of the Apollo 11 mission: Astronauts: Civilian Neil A. Armstrong, 38; Air Force Col. Edwin E. Aldrin 39; Air Force Lt. Col.

Michael Collins, 38. Purpose: After attaining lunar orbit, Armstrong and Aldrin fly a landing craft to man's first landing on the moon on Sunday. They are to walk on moon for 2y 2 hours Monday, setting- up scientific experiments, gathering soil samples and determining ability to work in one-sixth gravity field. Total length of time on moon: 22 hours, after which they rendezvous with Collins orbiting in command ship. Flight duration: Eight days, 3 hours, 19 minutes.

Eocket: Three-stage Saturn 5, which, with Apollo spacecraft, stands 363 feet tall. It is the world's most powerful booster, with first stage thrust of 7.7 million pounds. Cost of mission: Saturn 5, $185 million; Apollo 11 command ship, million; lunar module, $41 million; launch operations, including recovery forces, million. Total million. Total cost of Apollo program to date: $22 billion.

Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins were up early for the historic launching, rising at 4:15 a. m. for a medical examination and and orange juice. They were reported rested and in good spirits. Technicians helped them into white space suits with bubble helmets and the American flag emblazoned on the sleeves.

As they left their crew quarters, they smiled and waved at a group of several hundred space 1 center workers who cheered and shouted, "Good Luck!" They were transported by a special air conditioned van to the launch pad five miles away and rode an elevator up 320 feet to the space craft level. Throughout the night, the launch crew was busy pumping more than 525,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen into the fuel tanks of the giant Saturn 5. LARGEST CROWD A crowd of hundreds of thousands, the largest ever to watch a launching from this fabled spaceport, was qn hand to view the fiery start of the great adventure. Included were the wife of the commander, Janet Armstrong; former President Lyndon B. Johnson, a firm supporter of the space program; Vice President Spiro T.

Agnew; hundreds of congressmen and government officials; and more than 3,000 from 52 nations. Also here, camped outside the gates, was the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, president.of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, leading a group of poor people who would rather see space funds used to fight poverty. NIXON CALLS Nixon phoned the spacemen from the White House on the eve of their launching and told them: "You carry with you a feeling of good will in this greatest adventure man has ever undertaken I want you to know that my hopes and my prayers--and those of all Americans--go with you." Armstrong told the President he and his colleagues were "looking forward to the liftoff." He said they were honored by the phone call and "encouraged by the interest and wishes and prayers of Americans across the country." If Apollo 11 succeeds, Armstrong and Aldrin next Sunday afternoon will detach a spindly- legged lunar landing craft and fly it to a touchdown in the moon's 'Sea of Tranquillity, leaving Collins to orbit overhead. IMPRINT ON HISTORY At 2:21 a.m.

Monday, Armstrong is to step onto the surface and for the first time man will walk on soil that is not of his world. It will be an imprint on history. Aldrin will follow minutes later, and two men will plant an American flag that hopefully will remain there forever. But they will not claim the territory for the United States. For Armstrong and Aldrin go to See MOON, Page 8 By CONNIE STOPPER Daily Times Staff Writer A spot survey of Delaware County residents on Tuesday indicated that' most were "unconcerned" or "too busy" to discuss today's historic, moon shot.

Several of those'who ex- pressed'an opinion when questioned at a Ridley Township shopping center felt the moon landing attempt was a waste of money. enthusiastic, saying "it was a great thing and very important for the United States to be the first Five shoppers said they had no opinion on the flight. GEORGE CONAWAY, a retired Glenolden machinist, said he thought the flight was "foolish and a waste of money money that should be spent on the poor people in this country." When asked if he were 'Waste of Money' excited about the moon flight, he replied that he was only excited that the three boys come back." -'r- JOSEPH TRAUM, a DuPont employe from Prospect Park, was- enthusiastic about the Apollo 11 flight. "It's a great thing," he said, and "very important for the United States to be the first there so that we can claim it." A substitute school teacher and housewife from Nether Providence, Mrs. Phyllis Much, touted the Apollo 11 flight as a "great achievement and important for prestige reasons." She said that the space program was "only one of many needs in the country however, that need to be developed." MRS.

SHEILA LARKIN of Brookhaven praised the moon flight because of the scientific developments it represented but criticized the expense of the program. A registered nurse and housewife, Mrs. Larkin said there are "better uses for much of the money that goes into the space program. It's great that they can do it, but there is so much poverty in the country that the money could go other places." A Donna Stankiewicz of Middletown, said the space program is "entirely superfluous. We could use the money for more important things like air pollution.

When get there, other people are going to get there too, and there's going to be chaos all over again." 'Giles Jones of Swarthmore said he believes it's important for the United States to get there first. "We're supposed to be the greatest country and we can show that this way. But there are other good uses for much of the space program money." DONNA STANKIEWICZ GEORGE CONAWAY GILES JONES MRS. SHEILA LARKIN MRS, PHYLLIS MUCH JOSEPH TRAUM.
