Interesting that the Apollo mission patch featured the constellation Orion. What on earth did that star group have to do with the moon landings?

The space program to that point was filled with names out of Greco-Roman mythology. The myths of Apollo and Orion do significantly intertwine.

And why was a moon landing project named for a SUN god?
