Neil Armstrong's Accomplishments

“This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” (Neil Armstrong). In the 1960s, the race began between America and the Soviet Union to see who could be the first to launch humans to the moon. Several years later, America achieved a goal that was believed unlikely and almost impossible a few years earlier. During the 1960’s Neil Armstrong changed the world and became an American hero.

Space, some may call it the final frontier. Space exploration is the trend I will be discussing. Space exploration has been around for a while however, it has become more of a reality than science fiction.

The need for space exploration began as a competition and a few decades later people from around the world are sharing information on their findings of space. This trend is happening everywhere, countries

On July 21st, 1969 the whole world stopped to watch as Neil Armstrong took his first steps, making man’s first footprints on the surface of the Moon. Meanwhile, tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union were growing and the heat of the arms race was smoldering. Upon the conclusion of the mission, Apollo 11’s crew of three was successfully recovered along with the photographs taken on the lunar surface; many of which are

Great accomplishments occurred in those twenty years, including Neil Armstrong’s space landing, women’s roles in were changing with feminist movement, and there were government efforts to ease discrimination against minorities. But America was not perfect in every aspect. Discrimination and racism against minorities survived throughout the civil rights movement, although there were major efforts to stop it.
