Christopher Columbus was born on October 31, 1431, in Genoa, Italy.Ok, his name wasn’t actually Christopher Columbus it is just easier to say than his actual name. His actual name was Christoforo Columbo. His dad Domenico had the only job he could get as a wool merchant. And his mom was Susanna Fontanarossa. He had three brothers and one sister,

Louis Armstrong was born on August 4, 1901 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Armstrong was born and raised in New Orleans he was the son of a prostitute and an absent father. Louis Armstrong grew up with his grandparents because his parents had separated and left him. His mother finally came back, but then left once more. Louis Armstrong grew up around music. He influenced jazz with his great voice and his great trumpet playing. On

Neil Armstrong 's 1969 lunar landing was one of humanity 's greatest accomplishments. Since then, we have found that an infinite supply of knowledge and resources await us just outside our atmosphere. Today, however, critics are beginning to argue more and more that the cost of space exploration is too high, and therefore new technological developments should be left to the private sector. Whether funded privately or by the government, funding of space exploration is imperative because NASA is essentially the only agency with the technological capabilities to support aircraft manufacturing, air safety and air transportation. Space exploration has also resulted in remarkable innovations that has played a key role in aeronautics research, preventative medicine, and allows scientists to study asteroids, along with other space debris and their impacts on Earth.

For Columbus, there was a chance that he would get misdirected by the weather and die. However, he persevered amongst all challenges and carried on to show the gratitude the Spanish Monarchy had in him. The Spaniards had faith in Columbus to find a new route to Asia, however he ended up discovering the New World. On the photograph of Buzz Aldrin on the moon, he however love for his country by placing the America flag (Doc 2). Aldrin was one of the first to travel to the moon.

Armstrong was born in New Orleans on August 4, 1901. He attended school until he was in the 5th grade, he stopped going to help support his family. To earn money, Armstrong sang on street corners, sold newspapers, and delivered coal. When Armstrong was eleven years old, he got in trouble for shooting a gun on New Year’s Eve to ring in the new year, 1912. He attended Colored Waifs Home in 1913 for eighteen months. During his time there, he learned how to play the bugle cornet, an instrument that is similar to the trumpet. After his time in Colored Waifs Home, he wanted to become a musician. At the start of Armstrong’s career, he married Daisy Parker. Armstrong’s mentor, King Oliver, had Armstrong move to Chicago to be in his band; in Oliver’s

Alan B. Shepard was a man who was very influential in the U.S. space race, and in science in general. According to NASA, Shepard became the first American in space in 1961. This was a major step towards getting a man on the moon. Shepard made a second trip into space in 1971, and this time landed on the moon. To me, Alan Shepard is someone that I look up to, not just of his accomplishments, but because he ventured out into the unknown, by himself just for the knowledge of man. He was the first of many astronauts to go to space through the NASA program, and he couldn't have known if it was safe to travel through space. What he did was never done before, and it could be very dangerous. That takes bravery to do something if you aren't sure

Louis Armstrong was born on August 4th 1901 in New Orleans, Louisiana. His grandmother had raised him mostly because his father abandoned the family soon after he was born, and his mother had turned to prostitution. Armstrong left school in the fifth grade and began working. The Karnofsky’s gave young Armstrong a job collecting junk and delivering coal. They encouraged him to sing and often times would invite him into their home for meals.

U.S. American John Glenn Jr. was not always good at school work, but with his parents motivation to do so he attended Muskingum College. Over the years of his life, John began to see the hard work being paid off. He began to take extra core classes to get his pilot license to fly in the United States Army Air Corps. After enduring that work it brought his attention with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Although John Glenn Jr. was known as a hard worker at his achievements, it was his upbringing and expectations that his parents brought upon him that prepared him for his reputations.

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

"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," said by Neil Armstrong as he took his first steps on the moon during the NASA Apollo 11 expedition to the moon. No man has ever been to the moon before and NASA, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was the first to get someone to land on the moon. NASA has had many great accomplishments in exploring the "new frontier" that have affected the United States ever since it was first created in July 1958. The idea for NASA first started when the Soviet Union launched the first satellite on October 4, 1957. United States started up its own space travel program and started to work on its own projects that would be better in than the Soviet Union's. This all started the great

He was later also able to achieve his dream of going to space even if he had to do some illegal activity, but through his hard work he did what everyone believed he could

Neil Armstrong, commander of Apollo 11, began the first-hand report to the world of the epic voyage of Eagle and Columbia to the Moon and back to Earth.

I have always thought that when you do one good thing, why stop there? John Glenn reflects my views with the numerous things that he has done in his life, not once stopping to bask in his personal glory. John Glenn was a revolutionary man who was not only the first American to orbit the earth, but also worked in government and became the oldest person to travel into space. John Glenn has made an amazing amount of history, and the things he has done has shaped a lot of what we know about space travel.

Many people have dreamt going to space, but they couldn't. This was a big issue, but Neil Armstrong worked his way up by studying really hard and getting a good job. People wanted to go to space, but couldn't because it was very expensive. But Neil Armstrong showed them the dangers of going to space and influenced them to be cautious. When Neil Armstrong went into space he knew what his job was and he got it done. Space is beautiful, but can be very dangerous if you do not pay attention.

There is a long standing belief in the United States that is called the “American Dream”, what that means is that if you want something bad enough and you are willing to work, then “it” can be yours someday. Working towards a better life, both Columbus and Armstrong were born into working class families. Columbus was the son of a middle class wool weaver Domenico Colombo. The exact date and location of Columbus’ birth are disputed to this day. In his younger years, Columbus helped his father operate a cheese stand which his father owned. Like Columbus, Neil Armstrong was born into a middle class family. Armstrong’s father was Stephen Armstrong, who worked for the state of Ohio as an Auditor. Armstrong was born on August 5th, 1930 in Wapakoneta, Ohio.
