Space Exploration Of Apollo Missions To The Moon

Millions of people all over the world watched as Apollo 11 was launched from Kennedy Space Center on July 16, 1969. Two hours after it left Earth, the rocket Lunar Command and Landing Modules separated from the main rocket, and three days later the crew entered lunar orbit.

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 mission lasted 163 orbits with the crew being the first to beam live telecasts from orbit, giving millions of people their

The Space Race began in 1955 when the US and the Soviet Union announced that they would be launching satellites into orbit. The USSR formed a commission whose goal was to beat the US in putting a satellite into space. On October 4, 1957 the USSR placed the first successful satellite into orbit which gave them the lead in the Space Race for awhile. It was called Sputnik 1. The US then launched

On July 20, 1969 America finally became first in the protracted space race with the Soviets.
