Ethos Of Apollo 11

Apollo 13 was to be the third mission sent from the Apollo Project to land on the Moon. An explosion in one of the oxygen tanks caused the spacecraft to become crippled during the flight and the crew were forced to orbit the Moon and return to the Earth without landing. The Apollo 13 mission was launched on Saturday afternoon, April 11, 1970 from launch complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center. The space prime crew consisted of trained experts Commander James A. Lovell Jr., Command module pilot Ken Mattingly and Lunar module pilot Fred W. Haise Jr. There was also three backup crew members named John W. Young, John L. Swigert Jr. and Charles M. Duke. This crew was ready to step in if for any reason something were to happen to any of the main

In the four texts of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission in which it discusses the landing of the first humans on the moon, the texts were from Times of London, William Safire, novelist Ayn Rand, and Herblock. The head of the mission Apollo 11, was Neil Armstrong. Neil took a colleague named Edwin Colleague. The whole world was watching this tremendous event that shocked the world. President Nixon was seen as a powerful leader to have held and arrange such a suspense, horrific event. In the first text, “Man Takes First Step on the Moon”, by the Times, gives the perspective of Neil Armstrong and how all the leader around the world have given respect to the US for being the first to make it to the moon. The second text, “In the Event of Moon Disaster”, by William Safire, it gives the view of the people seeing the astronauts as heroes. In the third text, “ The July 16, 1969, Launch: A Symbol of Man's Greatness”, by Ayn Rand, is based on the perspective of a NASA guide. In the illustration of the cartoon, ”Transported”, by Herblock, shows the reality of society in the time of chaos. The rhetorical appeals, pathos, ethos, and logos are used in these texts to attempt to achieve its purpose.

All of the texts looked at are all related to the apollo 11 mission and the first steps on the moon which was a very important event in not only american history but world history. The purpose of the first text, “Man takes first steps on the moon” was to report the landing and the first steps on the moon. The speaker was a journalist for the newspaper “the Times of London”, the audience was the readers of the times of london and other people in other parts of the world, and the subject was the first time landing and walking on the moon. The text appeals to ethos by it being published by the Times of london a famous, well-known magazine. Logos is applied by quoting or mentioning many “expert” testimonies including Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin,

On July 16, 1969, NASA launched a shuttle into space containing Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. They were going to be the first people to step foot on the Moon. This mission into the unknown caused a commotion on Earth. Many reputable news sources across the world created various sources about this event. These are weighted with the high emotions that ran through the world as well as the facts gathered as the brave men first put their footprints on the barren surface of the Moon. The creators of each peice used logos, pathos, and ethos to get the desired response from their audiences.

In the first article, “Man Takes First Steps on the Moon”, by Times of London was created with a purpose, the purpose is to demonstrate the details about the moon exploration. This article is effective because the text achieved its purpose through the connection between the speaker, audience, subject, and the appeals, mostly pathos. Neil Armstrong and his partner Edwin Aldrin gave clear informations about the landing and the surrounding of where they landed, “Tranquillity base. The Eagle has landed.”, and “There are quite a few rocks and boulders in the near area which are going to have some interesting colours in them.” These two quotes are considered logos because it was the primary sources from Neil and Edwin since no one have ever been to the moon or travel with them. Also, the logos related to the purposes and the subject of the text which is what made it effective. Armstrong engages pathos by giving descriptions of the moon, “He reported that the lunar surface was a ‘very fine-grained powder.’”, and, “Armstrong said: ‘it is very pretty out here.’” Armstrong appealed his pathos by talking in a sense of amazement, which also affected his audience and made them amaze as well. The

First, “Man takes first steps on the moon,” is about the very first trip to the moon and how Neil Armstrong was the very first man to step on the moon. Neil Armstrong was the first man that walked on the moon’s surface early today. The occasion occurred 1969, when a man went to the moon for the first time. The passage is about the experience that everyone was able to watch when Neil Armstrong step the moon. The article isn’t good at achieving its purpose because Neil Armstrong uses both facts and quotes from people who were involved or were there in the moon landing. The article appeals to logos because it’s using names of people that were well known in history.

Those inspiring words of the first man on the moon sure have made their mark in history. Not only did Apollo 11, the first successful mission in landing man on the moon, affect future space discovery, it impacted the world, by helping people understand how much they can be capable. For those reasons , putting man on the moon was and still is a significant moment to this day for all people.

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.

To begin with, the Times article which appeared in a special 5am edition of the Times of London was made specifically to inform the audience of the details and facts of the landing; while the article contains some effective rhetoric devices and promotes the concept of human success its primary focus is providing logical information to the readers. “Man Takes First Steps On The Moon” appeals to logos, pathos and ethos providing accurate information about the moon landing success for the audience. The newspaper which is easily recognizable and high status gives the article ethos automatically. Because of the newspaper's name the readers can assume that the writer is reliable and trustworthy. By this ethos being automatic it helps with logos appeals because the audience will then think the Times article is correct and dependable. Not only are ethos appeals found but logos as well. The article appeals to logos because its main focus is to be informative and it does this by using specific details and facts to help maintain the focus. The way the information in the article is presented is to the point and

On May 25, 1961 President John F. Kennedy paved the way for the world’s first lunar landing when he announced the US’s ambitious goal to place an American on the moon before the end of the decade. This historic announcement was fueled by desires to beat the Soviet Union, and show the United State’s dominance, the need for a uniting cause among the American people, and a desire to lead the world in the scientific field.

It was on July 20, 1969 that Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon, and said his most famous words, "That 's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind." 45 years later NASA calls the Apollo 11 missions one of the crowning achievements of the 20th century. Started after President Kennedy’s speech to send a man to the moon, NASA had to play catch up in order to beat the Soviet Union and become the first country to land a man on the moon.

In 1961, the United States of America was embroiled in the Cold War with the Soviet Union. This confrontation was taking place not only on land, sea and air, but in space as well. On May 25th, 1961 recently elected US President John F. Kennedy addressed a joint session of Congress, during which he outlined his now famous Man on the Moon challenge. It was through this ambitious dream that the creation of the National Aeronautical Space Administration (NASA) came about, which President Kennedy challenged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Although he didn't live to see the achievement of his dreams, the United States successfully landed Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the moon on July 20, 1969 and

On July 20, 1969 America finally became first in the protracted space race with the Soviets. On that day for America, Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin of Apollo 11 became the first humans to step foot on the moon. This of course was a massive victory alongside the Soviet Union. “ The first men to land on the moon were launched from the site of KSC (Kennedy Space Center) in 1969, and every human space flight launch in the United States since that time has taken place from the Kennedy Space Center” (Rogier). “Apollo was the NASA program that resulted in American astronauts' making an aggregate of 11 spaceflights a total of 12 astronauts having walked on the moon conducting research there

of the media and general public to see that man had not yet completely mastered space

July 16th, 1969. It’s a peaceful morning at Cape Canaveral with pleasant temperatures and little wind. All is calm. Suddenly, a tremendous roar shatters the morning as the crew of Apollo 11 blast off toward the moon, riding the biggest rocket ever created. Burning 20 tons of explosive fuel a second, it propels Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins into history. The spacecraft lands four days later on the moon. Millions watched as men took the first steps on a strange place 238,900 miles away, or 9 and ½ times around the earth. After placing America’s flag among the lunar rocks, the Apollo 11 crew lit their engines and headed for the small blue sphere we call home, splashing down safely in the ocean and completing Kennedy’s
