Creative Writing: America's Greatest Space Achievements

This proves to the audience that the United States will not stop their future endeavors in space. They should still have hope for what is to come. He Reagan also added, “I wish I could talk to every man and woman who works for NASA or who worked on this mission and tell them: ‘Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades’” (Reagan 7). This proves to the audience that he is proud of all that those involved in the Challenger accomplished, and everyone else should be proud of them as well. The president uses logos to argue that the astronauts knew what they were doing. He explained, “They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths. They wished to serve, and they did. They served all of us” (Reagan 3). By saying this, he proves that the astronauts were doing what they wanted to do with their lives, and this was their happy place. He also remarked, “We’ve grown used to wonders in this century. It’s hard to dazzle us. But for twenty-five years the United States space program has been doing just that” (Reagan

He justifies the importance of the space program by stating, “It’s hard to dazzle us. But for the past 25 years the United States space program has been doing just that.” The space program is justified by that statement because it shows the space program has helped the U.S. learn so much more about, not only the world we live in, but the universe we live in. He goes onto state “we’ve only just begun.” This also justifies the space program by showing, if we’ve already learned this much already, there’s no limit to what we can learn. He then establishes logos by calling the Challenger Seven “pioneers” and space is still a frontier waiting to be explored.This also shows the crew knew the risk, and their sacrifice is still important, and we should commemorate them by continuing space

On April 13, 1970, three astronauts took off from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center to go to the moon. They were sent to the moon to conduct a research mission and gather information that would help develop our understanding of the moon. But what they didn't know was that this adventure would not be as easy as they thought. Lovell, Haise, and Swigert were stuck in the middle of space due to an explosion on the ship. Now it was up to them to make up a great plan to get back home.

As Ray suggested, it did take over two hours and several cups of coffee before Matt emerged from his dungeon, heading in their direction. It was hard to garner any information from his stoic expression. “Would you guys like to see the remains?”

When they found out about the problem before lift off they modified the module to let the spacecraft enter the lunar module for three hours in order to keep the pressure. While the crew was up in space they noticed many surprises the crew expected to be flying smooth but that was not what happend around 55 minutes and 46 seconds Joe Kerwin communicated with the capsule communicator on duty and he said “the spaceship is in really good shape as far as we're concerned”. Joe kerwin knew that something was wrong and as far as the crew is concerned they were bored to tears in the space ship. After the crew said goodnight on live news according to NASA the oxygen tank No.2 blew up then right after oxygen No.1 blew at that point they knew they had to get back to earth and they radioed with the capcom and told them the issue they lost two of these fuel cells and two oxygen tanks. 20 minutes in after the tanks blew and they lost 2 fuel cells they were thinking about using the Im lifeboat to get back safely. Ground controllers in Houston texas radioed to them to take care of what they can and try to solve the problem before a mission failure. Another 15 minutes passed and they were ordered to make there way to the Lm lifeboat. The lm lifeboat was a concern at the time because since the power was down they were unsure about using the Lm lifeboat because it required power and that's what they were running low on they decided to conserve what they have before it's wasted and there's no way home.

Apollo was the NASA space program that resulted in the first moon landing. The program's mission was the goal of the President John F. Kennedy who said, "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." The program had a total of eleven space flights beginning in 1968 and ending in 1972. Four flights were used to test equipment and the rest were used to land onto the moon. However, only six out of those seven actually made it to the moon. The third manned mission to the moon, Apollo 13, never made it. The mission was supposed to land in the Fra Mauro area on the moon's surface. However, oxygen tank No.2 exploded causing oxygen tank No.1 tank to fail leaving the command module 200,000 miles away from Earth without

For a few years it has been a NASA goal to send a man up to the moon and it came true in the year 1961 when the President Of The United States Of America, John F Kennedy (1961) The president and NASA both had confidence in sending men to the moon, and on July 16th, 1969 the dream of many people including the president came true. Neil Armstrong, Edwin ALdrin, and Michael Collins departed on the “ Apollo 11” for a trip to the moon. They arrived on the moon July 20th where Neil Armstrong said “ that's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” a famous line. Many people were amazed when Neil Armstrong and the other astronauts arrived back to earth. When they arrived at the moon Collins stayed in the Apollo 11 managing the command mule. The crew traveled 240,000 miles to the moon and in 76 hours. ABC, NBC and CBS spent between $11- $12 million dollars on coverage for the apollo 11. An estimated 530 million people watched Armstrongs televised image and heard his voice while he was on the moon.

John was first a marine pilot who flew a total of 149 missions in his career. A short while after he had gone on missions as a marine pilot, he was later accepted as one of 7 pilots to be in one of the first NASA space programs. After orbiting

One of NASA’s biggest mission was Apollo 11 and the objective was to land on the moon. The crew consisted of Neil Armstrong the commander, Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. the Lunar Module Pilot, and Michael Collins the Command Module Pilot. The launch was scheduled to be on July 16, 1969 at nine o’clock in the morning. About four days later the inspirational quote “...one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” said by Neil Armstrong, was the first words spoken on the surface of the moon. About 600 million people from all over the world tuned in to watch the moon landing and watch as Armstrong took the first steps on the moon. They spent only one day on the moon, however in that one day they achieved something that no other man has done. They landed in the pacific ocean on July 24 and were greeted as heroes. Although the mission was eight days long it inspired many other mission by NASA.

”(Neil Armstrong). “Seven hours later, he got out of the spacecraft and said “That is one step for man, one giant leap for mankind” (Baxter). Neil and Buzz were on the moon for 21 hours, what they did there, is they planted the American flag, did experiments, and took

Matt attempted to explain what happen to Mike.After a few hours Mike had finally wrapped his head around the situation and realized what they had to do.They had made a plan to burn the painting,but Mike can not go in or he will re-live yesterday where he died.

At that time Matt realized that basically his whole life was a

He didn’t recognize the concrete walls of an old office on the top floor, that the bars across the window were to stop him from jumping. Silvia and Ben convinced him that he was a captain in the military. They also conditioned him to be preoccupied with the state of his cell so that he remained pliable. Another nine years left Matt a quivering ball of nerves and bizarre habits. He now believes that the dirt in his ‘room’ is sentient and determined to undermine his position and

In the aftermath of the explosion John wondered what would happen to NASA as a result of the accident “Are we ever going to go back to the moon, will we ever go to mars?”(Frey). It was these Questions John asked himself after all people were affected by the explosion on a almost personal level. Everyone who knew about the explosion would have felt something about it:

It was like watching a spider caught underfoot, flailing limbs trying to grab onto some false hope. By the time he stopped the fire had gone out, the water left unboiled. Jerry helped us carry the body outside. Sure enough, the water had done it. It couldn’t have been anything else. There were little pools everywhere out there, clear and pure as the stars above them. We left Dimitri a way off from the Elon, in case anything came scavenging in the night. There was no time to bury him.
