Following the detonation of two atomic bombs over Japan and the closure of World War II, the United States of America and the Soviet Union entered a period of ideological conflict, the Cold War. The United States sought to preserve and protect democracy throughout the world while the Soviet Union established communist satellite states. During the Cold War, the United States government pushed for the expansion of the United States space program in an attempt to demonstrate power and innovation over the Russians, and in doing so, accelerated the process of space exploration and endangered the lives of their astronauts.

It’s not everyday that an ordinary kid from a farm in a city like Milton, Ontario finds himself walking in outer space. To get from here to there, it takes a significant amount of hard work, dedication and ambition as well as perseverance- overcoming all the barriers in life and plowing through. Chris Hadfield had those very traits- which enabled him to make Canada proud in an unforgettable way. Although Marc Garneau was the first Canadian in space, Chris Hadfield rewrote the very rules that bind us, by being the first Canadian to walk in space. What is it they said again, “One step for man, one giant leap for mankind”? Well Chris Hadfield took one step for man and one giant leap for Canadians.

The subject that I chose to research is the Apollo missions. After reading 50 Years of Americans in Space I was amazed and the continuous path of discoveries and exploration. When NASA was just beginning it had a spaceflight program that’s goals were to simply be able to survive out in space. From there they continued to push the boundaries, to try harder and get farther and in 1969 they landed on the moon. Along the way so many questions were asked, theories were tested, and lives were risked and lost.

During the Cold War, the United States and Russia had a severe space race between one another. Every time one country would be a step ahead of the other, and somehow one of the countries would catch up to the more advanced country at the time. During the early years of the space race, success was measured by what nation did what first: To the alarm of the United States, each of the early adventures were achieved by the Soviet Union. And all of those events triggered the United States to drive and catch up with to surpass the Soviet Union. This sort of see-saw method happen throughout the space race. Throughout this paper, there will be a discussion on the space race between the United Stated and

Apollo 13 was the 7th mission in the American Apollo Space Program and launched on April 11, 1970. Apollo 13 was the third mission that had planned to land on the moon and its location was in the Fra Mauro crater. However, two days into the flight, an oxygen tank exploded forcing the crew to orbit the moon without landing and return to earth.

remove the wall in 1989, two years before the USSR fell. He followed walking into the space race.

John Glenn born July 18, 1921. Died December 8, 2016. John Glenn had one wife who is Annie Glenn. John and Annie had two kids Carolyn Ann Glenn and John David Glenn. John Glenn was the first american to circle around the Earth Glenn was the third American to go in space. He received the NASA Distinguished Service Medal and the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978, Glenn was put in the hall of Fame in roughly 1990 Glenn was the last surviving crew member of Mercury wow!

0n July 16, 1969 Apollo 11 launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. On board the space shuttle was Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Micheal Collins. They were inside the command service module named the Columbia. Underneath the CSM was the lunar module Eagle that was 23 feet tall. This is what would be used to land on the moon. It sat on top of the Saturn V rocket. It stood 364 feet high and had 91 separate engines. The rocket weighed 5.8 million pounds had 8,000,000 parts that moved and would create shock waves that made the ground shake. Michael Collins was the command module pilot for the Apollo 11 mission. He had to use a sextant, star chart and telescope to plot the trip to the moon. After using the tools to chart a course he entered

The Apollo space missions of the 60’s and 70’s mark a time when space was the final frontier and the only destination world leaders had their view set upon. The cold war in full swing, each nation wanted to prove its dominance without total world destruction, was the single greatest driving force in the space race to the moon. But how do we invent, build, and use a set of technologies barely dreamed of by the most elite scientists? Rockets, computers, practical space suits, and a lunar lander/space shuttle all had to be built nearly from scratch with almost no past experience. The history of rockets comes from German scientists in the Second World War seeking ways to deliver explosives to enemy forces (Funk). We asked many of these experienced

Since I was a child I liked to observe the shapes of the clouds and the stars in the sky. I liked watching the planes and wondered how it would travel in them or how astronauts traveling in space rocket. So, I did choose this topic because it is an opportunity to know about it. Reading this article I learned that there were six Apollo missions that landed on the lunar surface. The fundamental goal of NASA's vision is the advancement of “…U.S. scientific, security, and economic interests through a robust space exploration program.” I also learned that those expeditions were the result of many careful studies and had important effects as vision obscuration, false instrument readings, dust coating and contamination, loss of traction, clogging

NASA wrote, John glen went to outer space to be famous and it worked. John Glenn was the first Americans to orbit the earth and he did on October 29, 1998. The mission was 9 days long he orbited the earth 134 times before returning to earth. John landed safely and went home to see his family. To soon go back to space.

strained their heads to hear the muffled, crackly, and almost indecisive words coming from their

The Apollo missions were the project that NASA worked on. It was trying to safely get man to the moon and back. There were 17 Apollo missions. Only 6 of those missions succeeded. That is only a success rate of 35.29%. The first few flights were just testing equipment. The first manned mission was Apollo 8. All missions after 8 were manned. The missions that succeeded were 11-12 and 14-17. Many of these missions did collect photographs and data to return to earth. The first Apollo mission to land on the moon was 11. It launched July 16, 1969, landed on the moon on July 20, 1969 and returned home on July 24, 1969. A total of 12 astronauts have walked on the moon’s surface.

In year 3014, Alex is chosen to go on the space mission where no one has gone before. On the spaceship, that Alex is using has a tele-transporter device. The device works as follows: you enter in a cubicle, where you press a button, a scanner records the status of all the cells in a brain and body, destroying both while doing so. This information is then transmitted to another planet, where the replicator rebuilds you. Since, the brain of this Alex, is indistinguishable from that you formerly in the cubicle, your memory will be continued and its character would not be affected. The problem is that, Alex uses this device so many times, so that when he returns from the space mission; would Alex will be the same person as he has been before his space mission? Since Alex uses the tele-transporter device so many times, and has been rebuilt and replicated so many times; that it might change his cells and how they were formerly before he used the device. So, the Alex that returns from his space mission, he could not be the same person as he has been before. Below, I explain various ways in which, it tells us that the Alex who returns is not the same person as he was before. The reasons are as follows: since, he has used the tele-transporter a lot during his mission, his body nerve system cells were affected by light speed radiation which, could make him see illusions and which could alter his memories. The second reason which is , that if those cells has been not affected by the
