Nasa Presentation

The space race was an event that shaped America as we know it, and the man that came up with the idea to control the moon, John F. Kennedy, had a major impact on history. The United States and Russia were competing to land on the moon during a time of tension. NASA’s funding increased to get an man

In doing research on space exploration and specifically the Apollo Missions, I have learned a lot about the purpose and significance behind this exploration. The goals set by NASA for these missions was to “establish technology to meet other national interests in space, achieve preeminence in space for the United States and develop man's capability to work in the lunar environment”. The motivation to get a man to the moon (Apollo 11) had a lot to do with the Cold War with the Soviet Union. President John F. Kennedy gave a speech that was aimed to convince the people that it was time to advance and play our part in the world. Thousands of people worked on this project, but it was really a national effort. Several questions arose as each of the

Not only was the objective to land man on the moon but to deploy television camera signals back to earth, as well as deployment of solar wind and seismic experiment packages (The Apollo Missions). All objectives were achieved , furthering space exploration. Once something was completed, the bar was raised higher. Apollo 11, along with the 5 other missions that were successful in landing on the moon together collected 400 kilograms of lunar sample, used in many experiments back on Earth such as soil mechanics or heat flow (Williams). Without this specific mission and its success, a chunk of samples and data collected would be

Apollo 13 was launched in April 1970. There was an explosion onboard the shuttle three-fourths of the way to the moon, which damaged fuel and oxygen cells. Getting the astronauts safely back to earth was difficult, but the completion on it proved that space exploration could continue even in the mist of huge challenges. The Apollo Space Program was one of the earliest space programs and it brought about huge advances. Having man walk on the moon for the first time is one of the most remembered accomplishments in the history of space exploration. It set the stage for continued exploration and advances in

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.

The U.S suffered a major setback when three astronauts died because of the spacecraft catching on fire in a space simulation. The Americans weren't the only ones who had a setback, the Soviets also had a setback when Sergey Korolyov had an unexpected death in January 1966, chief engineer of the Soviet space program. In December 1968 people all over the world saw the Apollo 8 launching, which was the first manned space mission to orbit the moon. Frank Borman, James Lovell Jr., and William Anders were the people who were on the Apollo 8 mission, the main purpose was to orbit around the moon and return back to earth safely. The Apollo 8 mission was a very important part of NASA's accomplishments it also plays a big role in the Apollo 11 mission.

Apollo 11 a was when Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon. It was a race between America and the soviet union. America won the race by being the first one to ever take a step on the moon. It's one of the most important because Neil Armstrong took foot on a different planet that no other country has ever done before. After he stepped

We have learned a lot of things about history. We learn things like who was the first man to set foot on the moon , which country was the first to orbit Earth , and much more , but what we haven’t learned is why these things happened and what they made an impact on. There are many things in history that have made a great impact on our daily life or just our life and the lives before us in general. The Space Race was one of the things that impacted our lives by having our education in STEM and our space technology enhanced.

The U.S. was so focused on the space race because it would show the world that the U.S. was the greatest. Having men on the moon would show unequal strength from the U.S. Landing on the moon would show other countries, especially Russia, that we could make big decisions and carry them out.

In October 1957, the Russians launched Sputnik and that started the race to the moon. The Russians were well ahead of Americans back in the 1960's in terms of the advanced technology they had. They were so close to taking off but then America decides to spontaneously land on the moon. President John F. Kennedy thought it was important that the United States win the race to the moon. On September 12, 1962, at Rice University, President Kennedy made a

     You probably have no idea what significance the Gemini Seven mission has in American Space history. It was a record-breaking mission at the time! The astronauts were in space for two weeks. It may not seem like very much now, but back in December of 1965 this was totally amazing! In order to understand why this event is so important you have to imagine what it was like back in 1965. No one had landed on the moon yet, so we were still in a space race with the Russians. At that time we had done something that the Russians had not accomplished, and in 1965 the thought of going to space was a lot more radical than it is now. Also while they were up in space they pioneered the first rendezvous with another space vessel. So in one mission, they and Gemini Six had broken two records!

The Apollo 11 mission was a huge accomplishment, not only for the United States, but for the entire future of space exploration. The mission impacted the world as we know it, and opened up a whole new realm for us to explore. Apollo 11 was a massive undertaking many thought would never succeed, but now it could be considered the most memorable space experience of all time. Because of its magnitude, many writers wrote about the mission. The writers of that time wrote about the chance for disaster, the jaw dropping launch, the first steps on the moon, and the controversy that surrounded the first mission to the moon.

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

The Apollo space mission is one for the record books. There was so much done that had never happened before and the impact that resulted in astronomical! (Hehe get it?) In sources found on google scholar I found cool sources on what happened in result of the space missions. According to Robert Poole the mission gave the Universe some of the first pictures of the earth. This shows and tells us that our earth can be small enough to take pictures of. The people began to focus on the earth more and make sure that we are going enough to keep it healthy and taken care of. Earth day was created to show respect for the magnificent globe that we stand on. And movements to protect the environment were created with newfound vigor. In an article by Thomas

NASA soon responded with the Mercury Missions. These Missions put Americans in orbit and many believe was the real start of the America’s space program. This brought one of the biggest changes to the Nation’s space program. Every tool had to either be built or adapted from another tool to fit the requirement needed. The procedures and systems all had to be redesigned. After the 10 missions, NASA moved on to project Gemini, which concentrated on learning the skills to be able to descend onto the lunar surface. This included docking in space and performing EVAs, or extra vehicular activities, more commonly known as a space walks.
