Apollo 13 Paper

One example come from the quote ”The draft notice arrived on June 17, 1968. It was a humid afternoon, I remember, cloudy and very quiet, and I'd just come in from a round of golf. My mother and father were having lunch out in the kitchen.” I see this as the last normal day the character had before his life went up. The way that he says I remember” shows how this was a moment that he would not forget anytime soon if ever. A little farther in the story from this quote he talk about how he thinks that he is too good to go to war. I think that this part of the story sets the tone for his arrogance and frustration. One can see that how he reacted is a big sign of arrogance beginning in this story.

"Arrogance is the camouflage of insecurity". For an intelligent, well-known, young man like Chris McCandless, arrogance acted as a poison for him in the movie Into the Wild. How could he not be arrogant, the man had everything, he went to Harvard, had caring parents, a loving sister, and a car. He decided to throw that all away for some journey to Alaska. Why Alaska? He had no business in Alaska, he was ignorant and self centered. He passed up so many opportunities, and so many signs to let him no this wasn't a good idea. From the Hippie Parents, to the Old Man who wanted to adopt him, Chris ignored all signs. He wanted what he wanted and didn't let anyone tell him otherwise. If someone offers help it is only because you have touched their

Millions of people all over the world watched as Apollo 11 was launched from Kennedy Space Center on July 16, 1969. Two hours after it left Earth, the rocket Lunar Command and Landing Modules separated from the main rocket, and three days later the crew entered lunar orbit. A day later the landing section separated from the Lunar Command Module and landed on the moon.

Planning for the Apollo Space Program began in 1957 and the program ended in 1972. The Apollo Space Missions increased our understanding of the moon. The goal of the missions was to land men on the moon and return them safely to earth. This goal was achieved with Apollo 11. On July 20, 1969 man walked on the moon for the first time. This was a huge step in space exploration and much preparation had gone into it. Apollo 8 orbited the moon, but did not test a lunar lander, and Apollo 9 tested a lunar lander while orbiting earth. After achieving the goal of getting man to the moon, the Apollo program continued to enlarge our understanding of the moon. Apollo missions 12 and 14 installed seismic stations on the moon’s surface. This led us to the discovery of “moonquakes”, which are essentially earthquakes on the moon’s surface.

Do you really know who Earl Campbell and Warren Moon are? Well they were NFL football players of course. Now I’ll take you on an adventure to discover who Earl Campbell is, who Warren Moon is, and why they were unstoppable.

Charlotte "Lottie" Digges Moon was born in 1840; she was the third child for her parents and had four sisters and two brothers. Her father, Edward Moon was the largest slave holder in Albemarle County; and was also a merchant and a lay preacher in the Baptist church. Her father was the owner of a fifteen-hundred-acre tobacco plantation known as “Viewmont”. As a young girl growing up Lottie was known for her astuteness and mischievous behavior. While living at home she studied with tutors, and in 1857 she went on to further her education at Albermarle Female Institute.

In the year 1908, what is today the sprawling suburb of Robinson Township was nothing more than a farming community. Moon Run, a community in the township, was a prosperous mining community that was built by the Pittsburgh Coal Company. Today, nothing except the Interstate 79 exit sign, Moon Run Road, and Moon Run Presbyterian Church acknowledges the name of this small community by the highway interchange. The workers in these mines were Catholic and Presbyterian, and both denominations needed a house of worship.  The Roman Catholic workers were about to establish a parish that has become an icon of Robinson Township for almost one hundred and ten years.

1. The purpose of the article Man Takes Fist Steps on the Moon by The Times is to announce to the audience the greatest moment of time, which is the moment when Neil Armstrong became the first man to take a walk on the moon’s surface. The interaction that the speaker, audience, and subject develop affects the text in a way that it accomplishes the purpose The Times had, and it also makes the text more interesting.

In November 2011, retired astronaut James Lovell sold a valuable item through an auction house. It was a checklist from the Apollo 13 moon mission in 1970. It was sold by Heritage Auctions for more than $388,000. It brought in so much money because it has Lovell's handwritten notes on it. Now, though, NASA is claiming that Lovell had no right to sell the checklist. The agency claims that the checklist did not belong to Lovell; it belonged to NASA. NASA is also making this claim for three other items from the auction.

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. No single space project...will be more exciting, or more impressive to mankind, or more important...and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish” -John F. Kennedy, May 25, 1961

Mercury, named after the Roman God of Thievery, Commerce, and Travel, is the first planet from the Sun. It is unique because it shows at both morning rise and evening set of the sun. It is rocky, heavily cratered, covered in boulders, and also pulverized dust. The majority of it's surface bears a strong resemblance to that of Earth's moon. It's lack of atmosphere causes wild temperature fluctuations. Temperatures can range from 90 kelvin to 700 kelvin thus creating a planet, from all observations, that cannot sustain life--it is geologically dead. Mercury also has a magnetic field generated by the planet's core that can deflect solar wind and which has a magnetosphere that changes. This was surprising for such a slow rotating planet--one that rotates completely every 88 Earth days.

The Apollo 11 mission of 1969 marks the biggest leap in technological advancements for humanity. Neil Armstrong is seen taking the first steps on the moon forever making his mark in humanity. However, theories surrounding the moon landing have come to light. Conspiracy theorists say NASA, the National Aeronautics Space Administration, have faked the Apollo 11 moon landing. Yet, present evidence can support the authenticity of the moon landing. Evidence such as photos, rock samples, technology, and computer monitoring support the moon landing. The moon landing of 1969 did happen.
