The Apollo 11 Mission Of The United States

In 1969, the Apollo 11 launch happened and became something rightfully important to the United States. It was the talk of every news stations and newspapers. These two men, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had risked their lives to do something the whole world had not done before. They became the first men to walk the moon and this became something historical. After walking the moon, they placed the American flag on it too, and to this day it is still there.

“One small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind.” These were no longer the words of an American… they were of a mere human (The Apollo 11 Moon 18). The Apollo 11 moon landing has played an important role in today's society. It skyrocketed America's optimism in a time of agony and grief as well as boosting the nation’s level of technology within a small period of time (The Apollo 11 Moon 45-54). The landing also changed the view of the world which played into the beginning of the environmental movement (The Apollo 11 Moon 110-121). Overall, the landing of the Apollo 11 was a turning point in history that allotted for the improvement of international cooperation as well as the creation of many new ideas and technologies.

Those inspiring words of the first man on the moon sure have made their mark in history. Not only did Apollo 11, the first successful mission in landing man on the moon, affect future space discovery, it impacted the world, by helping people understand how much they can be capable. For those reasons , putting man on the moon was and still is a significant moment to this day for all people.

Planning for the Apollo Space Program began in 1957 and the program ended in 1972. The Apollo Space Missions increased our understanding of the moon. The goal of the missions was to land men on the moon and return them safely to earth. This goal was achieved with Apollo 11. On July 20, 1969 man walked on the moon for the first time. This was a huge step in space exploration and much preparation had gone into it. Apollo 8 orbited the moon, but did not test a lunar lander, and Apollo 9 tested a lunar lander while orbiting earth. After achieving the goal of getting man to the moon, the Apollo program continued to enlarge our understanding of the moon. Apollo missions 12 and 14 installed seismic stations on the moon’s surface. This led us to the discovery of “moonquakes”, which are essentially earthquakes on the moon’s surface.

Apollo 11 changed the way Americans saw the world, and the way the world saw Americans. The world had been competing, the biggest battle being between Russia and the United States. The whole world was aware of the space race. The landing on the moon was not just important to America. It was important to all of mankind. Neil Armstrong and the other crew members were shot into fame overnight, with Neil Armstrong being the first man on the moon. The Apollo 11 mission will never be forgotten by the American people.

On May 25, 1961 President John F. Kennedy gave an inspirational speech stating, “I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth” (“Apollo 11”). This small statement would make a huge impact on the world. Amazingly enough a short eight years later Apollo 11 would lift off from Kennedy Space Center. Inside would contain two men, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, who would live out the rest of their lives in fame of being the first humans on the

The Apollo 11 mission was one of the most significant events in the space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. after the USSR launched Sputnik, the first satellite, and successfully sent a man into space, America rushed to develop the technology that the Soviets already had, prompting the creation of the Apollo program. Apollo 11 was a mission to complete the first manned lunar landing. The mission was considered a great success, and was a win for the United States in the Space Race. The Apollo 11 mission had a crew of three men: Neil Armstrong, the commander, Buzz Aldrin, the lunar module pilot, and Michael Collins, the Command module pilot. All three men had previous experience in space on various Gemini missions. Armstrong

On the day of July 16,1969 did you watch the spacecraft “Apollo 11” go into space on your TV? Well I wasn’t. Fortunuit unuf because I wasn’t born yet. In this essay I will be telling you about the spacecraft “Apollo 11” and the three reasons why it was so famous and interesting

On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy set a national a national goal to complete a crewed lunar landing on the Moon and return them to Earth safely. He made a special joint session of Congress on May 25, 1961 and said, “I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth.” This soon became the primary objective of Apollo 11. On July 16, 1969, two brave men, by the names of Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) and “Buzz Aldrin” (1930-), traveled to a previously unexplored terrain. Apollo 11 was an extremely dangerous journey. During the trip to the moon, the United States encountered many hardships and complications. It took 42 failed attempts prior to the

They were calm and collective in the emergency issues. Nasa made more safety regulations so that space ships would be more careful and more sturdy. Hopefully in the future any oxygen tanks will not explode in air so that astronauts do not have to feel what Apollo 13 astronauts went through. After finding out that Nasa changed the way they build their technology all of astronauts were happy and excited that safety hazards have changed. In my opinion I think that Nasa should have more people on board and then they can help people if any of these situations were to happen again. Apollo 13 made history by having to orbit the moon and going back. They did not complete the mission or objective but they still lived. This is also another reason why it is called the successful failure. Apollo 13 was a great topic to learn about and also amazing to see what happened to the scientists and how they survived in the situation that they were in. They were very brave and not worried at all. The astronauts were calm and collective. They orbited the moon once and had to go back to earth and jump in the pacific ocean. Some of the astronauts were sick to They had the bad case of the flu. It is surprising to how they did what

Proposed by John F. Kennedy to Congress on May 25, 1961, the Apollo Program, or “Project Apollo,” was the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s third exploratory program and the first project worldwide to attempt the tremendous endeavor putting a man on the moon. After sufficient studying over a five year period, the first flight, unmanned, was launched in 1966. Two years later, the first flight with a crew took place (Apollo 7, October 1968). Overall, the project sent up 19 spacecrafts using multiple launch vehicle designs. It achieved a fairly positive rate of 16 successes to three failures (total and partial). The best known flights of the program are the tragedy of Apollo 13 and the first manned moon landing with Apollo 11.

    The aspiration of “Man Takes First Steps on the Moon”, by an unknown author, published in The Times of London is to convey the events of the Apollo 11 mission and to communicate the excitement it spread through the world. “The two astronauts opened the hatch of their lunar module at 3:39 A.M. in preparation for Neil Armstrong’s walk.” The author presents the reader with exact information on what took place on the moon and what the astronauts accomplished. Even though the article describes the events that took place on the moon, back on earth the nations were celebrating. This was a tremendous breakthrough, not only for America, but for the world. All over the world, different political leaders sent laudatory words to the Americans for their achievement in sending men to the moon. The Prime Minister of Britain said, “The first feeling of all in Britain is that this very dangerous part of the mission has been safely accomplished.” President Saragat of Italy said, “May this victory be a good omen for an even greater victory: the definite

The movie Apollo 13 follows the monomyth plotline accurately. The first major obstacle the Apollo 13 crew encounters was when Nasa was rushing the mission. The first

The Apollo 11 mission explored the moon’s physical features and surface, retrieving new, first-hand information. The three astronauts were able to encounter a whole new environment where temperature, physical features and gravity varied greatly from those we are accustomed to on Earth. Furthermore, they encountered several difficulties that could have cost them their lives. But ultimately exchanging footprints, flags and other evidence of their mission’s success, the crew returned with samples of other worldly materials, test results, a victory of the Cold War and a feeling of accomplishment for their entire country, the United States of America.

“We’ve got a bad fire let’s get out. . . . We’re burning up.” (Roger B. Chaffee Quotes) The tragedy of the Apollo 1 will haunt our history forever, and though, three brave, American men were lost in the tumult of that day, they put us a small step closer to the moon, and one giant leap closer to a proud America. Forever remembered will be the catastrophe of 1967, our hearts continue to beat red, white, and blue.
