Compare And Contrast The Astronauts In Apollo 11 And The Corpse Of Discovery?

In 1969, the Apollo 11 launch happened and became something rightfully important to the United States. It was the talk of every news stations and newspapers. These two men, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had risked their lives to do something the whole world had not done before. They became the first men to walk the moon and this became something historical. After walking the moon, they placed the American flag on it too, and to this day it is still there.

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

The Apollo 11 was the first mission to send men to the moon and have them take a step on another planetary body. The objective of this mission was to complete a national goal of a lunar landing set by President John F. Kennedy. People all around the world were anxiously waiting to see the mission fail or succeed; everyone had heard about it from newspapers to the television, and even going to see Apollo 11 launch in person. Two articles had been made to show the dangerous circumstances Armstrong and Aldrin would have faced outside of Earth in the unknown outer space. Another article shows the success of the two men sacrificing their lives to achieve something no man has ever done. “In Event of Moon Disaster” and “The July 16, 1969, Launch: A Symbol of Man’s Greatness” are two articles that have different purposes and how effective they have been, are affected by speaker, audience, and subject, and each article appeals to its own senses of logos, ethos, and pathos. The biggest benefit of Apollo was the inspiration it gave to a growing generation to get into science and aerospace-Buzz Aldrin.

A single journal entry was written on the Apollo 11 journey by astronaut Armstrong and it reads, “My team and I are laughing in success as we walk down the craters on this alien world. I completely forget about the pain I felt back in training, and during launch of the Apollo 11” (Armstrong). All of the risk and pain eventually led up to the moment in which three American men made history by putting the first footprints on the moon. Discovering a new world exceeded the American dream and achieved great new hopes for life back on Earth. Armstrong goes on to talk about his achievement as he wrote, “I am myself still awed by that miracle. That awe, in me and in each of us… must be the engine of future achievement, not a slow dimming light from a time once bright” (Armstrong). Even the astronauts thought as the others did, NASA has created a miracle. Space advancements and the urge for superiority broke through the barriers of doubt and successfully reached the American

The book Apollo, by Catherine Bly Cox and Charles Augustus Murray, is one that delves deeply into the seemingly behind-the-scenes actions and perspectives of the U.S. Apollo space program. This comprehensive account of the trials and tribulations of even the most minute characters paints an overarching display of the vitality of cooperation and dedication alike. Contrary to conventional education, Apollo aims to illustrate the relationships between various departments, agencies, and nations rather than focus solely on the glory of the astronauts who rode the rocket to stardom. The actions of the United States to fixate on the noise and size of the rocket as well as pictures of the astronauts of the Apollo program camouflage the underlying

“Two centuries ago, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark left St. Louis to explore the new lands acquired in the Louisiana Purchase, They made that journey in the spirit of discovery. . . . America has ventured forth into space for the same reasons.” George W. Bush said. Although a remarkable comparison, exploring space and exploring a new part of the continent are very different. Lewis and Clark were certain that there was life on the continent whereas, space is a completely different frontier.

The world was glued to their television sets and radios, spellbound. The United States conceived the Apollo missions to land astronauts on the moon

The space program in the 1960's promoted social solidarity in which it united the country in the race to be the first to the moon. America didn't want to lose out to the Russians and also feared Communist power had they made it to the moon before us. On the macro level, the space program of the 60's served as a driving force in the American-Russian rivalry. Each country continually upped the ante to see who was better, who could get to the moon first, and ultimately, who would prevail as the world's top power. On the micro level, Jim Lovell and Fred Haise viewed the newcomer, Jack Swigert, as the outsider of their crew. They believed he truly didn't earn his spot with them and got there based on a faulty blood test. Days before the launch, Jim and Fred didn't like the new guy and had a small power struggle with him aboard the Apollo 13. However, once things went wrong and they put aside

The topic I decided to learn more about for this activity was about NASA'S Apollo missions. I got my information from an article on their website titled "Apollo 11 Mission overview." The main motivation behind the original Apollo mission was to explore the moon and "develop mans capability to work in the Lunar environment." It was during Apollo 11, this fifth Apollo mission that America landed on the moon. This was extremely significant because it was the first time humans had ever been on the moon and were able to explore it. Data collected from this has been used to assist scientist in studying and understanding life beyond earth. This discovery was only possible because of all of the previous Apollo missions that failed and better prepared

One of the primary goals of the Apollo program was to beat Russia to the Moon. Some of the other goals were establishing the technology to meet other national interests in space, achieving superiority in space for the United States, scientific exploration of the Moon, and developing man's capability to work in the lunar environment. In the first Apollo mission (Apollo 1), the astronauts were Virgil Grissom, Edward Higgins and Roger Chaffee. These men all passed away during a pre-flight test when a fire swept throughout the command module (CM) that they were in. This tragedy happened on January 27th, 1967. They were scheduled to launch on February 27th, 1967.

One obvious difference is that there were no fatalities in Apollo while the whole crew of

So I decided to write about Space Exploration, and more specifically the Apollo missions. They were the missions performed by the United States to get a man to the surface of the Moon. They started these missions for a variety of reasons but the main cause was politically. This was during a time when we were fighting against communism and we were in the Cold War. Kennedy approved the program as a way to show our preeminence in space and show what we are capable as a nation and world power.

The Apollo 11 Mission greatly affected the U.S. and all the citizens in it. When Neil Armstrong

For this week's enrich submission, I chose to do my research on Space Exploration: Apollo Missions. From my selected article, Space Exploration, I read that the motivation that led to this discovery was how people dreamed of spaceflight for millennia before it even became reality. There is evidence from as early as 2D of scientist and famous men telling of flying or having dreams of voyaging to the moon. That being said, space exploration has ALWAYS been a topic filled with curiosity. People have always wanted to know about space. One of the many questions people had and wondered was if the Earth was in the center of the solar system or not. And for several years, many believed this theory. It wasn't until 1,400 years later that that theory

One single mission changed mankind forever, the Apollo 11 Mission. Apollo 11 was an unforgettable accomplishment for the United States and the entire globe. The historical achievement of landing successfully on the moon and leaving footprints, sparked a change in technology, knowledge, and society for the better. This achievement took place on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins successfully landed on the moon, creating history by taking the first steps on another planet (Loff). The astronauts brought back samples of the moon, amongst other things, expanding America’s knowledge. Therefore, it helped to improve our technology further, impacted society forever, and left a monumental impact on America’s knowledge of the moon,
