Apollo 11 Accomplishments

When Apollo 11 landed on the moon, America surprised the world greatly. While the Soviet Union had sent a man into space before, no man had actually walked on the moon. In the race for space, America and the USSR vied to prove their selves superior by exploring space. Apollo 11’s successful landing placed America

“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” are words that astronaut, Neil Armstrong declared as people around the world attentively watched him take the first steps on the moon. That moment would be documented in history and talked about for years to come. The Apollo 11 mission had left many doubts to those watching the spectacle. Would Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin successfully set foot on the moon? Or was this launch a disaster waiting to happen? The following texts, In Event of Moon Disaster by President Nixon’s speechwriter, William Safire, and The July 16, 1969, Launch: A Symbol of Man’s Greatness by novelist, Ayn Rand, both express the possibility of a disaster as well as the relief and contentment for the men on

On July 20, 1969, humanity did itself proud in spite of all its wars, sadism, hatred, and insanity. We set foot on another planet. Men walked on the moon. This changed our belief in what we could accomplish.

History One of the first submarines was built in 1623 and it was ordered by King James the first. The sub was built by Cornelius Drebbel. According to accounts from that time period it appeared to be a large enclosed rowboat using twelve oarsmen for propulsion. It is said to have made a trip down the Thames River submerged at a depth of about 15 feet. Some accounts go so far as to claim that James I took a ride in Drebbel's

Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who became the sixth man on the moon when he and Alan Shepard helped Nasa recover from Apollo 13's "successful failure" and later devoted his life to exploring the mind, physics and unexplained phenomena such as psychics and aliens, has died in Florida. He was 85.

The Apollo 11 trip to the moon from July 16th to July 24th 1969 was truly one giant leap for mankind.As soon as Neil Armstrong successfully touched down on the moon it was a huge turning point in the Cold War. Winning the “Space Race” was a huge advance for the U.S.!

Many important events happened in the 1960’s, such as the Apollo 11 space mission and the Cuban Missile Crisis. To begin, Apollo 11 was the first-manned mission to the moon. Apollo 11 was launched on July 16, 1969 from the United States in Cape Kennedy, Florida. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent four days in

“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard” John F. Kennedy. The 35th President of the United States began the Space Race, the spark of Space exploration. With this new objective came many technological advancements and many missions to be dealt with. After the events of Project Mercury and the manned orbital missions of Project Gemini came an even bigger accomplishment, The Apollo missions.

The Apollo 11 mission was a very influential success for the U.S. This program marked itself in U.S. history and sparked a new American exploration in

As science has progressed over the years, there have been many forms of exploration and discovery to find the answers we seek. One of the best examples are the Apollo space mission that were done by legendary astronauts and scientists. There have been many individuals over the years that wanted to know what was in space, but scientists now have the technology to experiment machines that can easily answer the questions of the universe we have. An article by Ronald J. White talks about how these missions have been accomplished for more than 40 years and how these events have made advancements on how people are able to travel through space when discovering the worlds that lie beyond our planet. After so many years of research, we have found so

The Apollo 13 is NASA’s seventh Apollo space mission taking human beings into the outer space. The Launch took place at Kennedy Space Center. The crew consisted of three men, James A. Lovell, John L. Swigert, and Fred W. Haise. “Houston, we have a problem…” was the saying that leads to the tragic event that took place on April 11, 1970.

From countdown to splashdown, Apollo 11 's mission was filled with some surprising twists and turns. It took a combination of luck, determination and guts for the crew of Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, and Neil Armstrong to get the Eagle to the surface of the moon with only 30 seconds of fuel remaining! Experience the moments leading up to the lunar landing with me.

This investigation will answer the question “how did the success of the US Apollo 11 mission change the use of propaganda in the USSR?” It is important to answer this question to better understand the impact landing a man on the moon had on the USSR and in quantifying the importance of science and technology. This will investigate propaganda through posters and film in the USSR from 1945-1975. This study will examine the Russian Archives Online as a broad catalogue of posters from the USSR promoting or demoting powers. It will also investigate an article from a non-US or USSR journalist Space Race Propaganda: USA vs. URSS. A Matter of Posters.

I choose for my discovery one of the Apollo space missions. The one mission that I have a keen interest in has been the Apollo 11 Mission. Apollo 11 was one of NASA’s mission to get 12 astronauts in space and to land on the moon. The Mission control team did many of the behind-the-scenes. Many of the team members were young so they were able to bring some new ideas for the program. One mission control engineer gave this quote about the young team, “Space was such a new thing that they were not willing to risk their careers on space, so we were forced to have a relatively young team. By Apollo, we had to bring in young people because the people, who did [the earlier] Gemini [space program] were technical dinosaurs by that time." (Weiss).

Americans, along with other advancing countries, made many technological breakthroughs in the previous years leading up to men walking on the moon. One outstanding achievement was the first satellite to orbit Earth, which occurred on October
