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.

Gordon Cooper, a NASA astronaut flew in space twice during his lifetime. During his last trip into space he set a world endurance record of 190 hours and 56 minutes. Before coming to NASA Gordon Cooper got an army commission after his days at the University of Hawaii. He went into the Air Force and was on duty in 1949 with the 86th Fighter Bomber Group who were deployed in Munich, Germany for 4 years.

An astronaut, test pilot, fighter pilot, and United States Senator, John Glenn’s lifetime is decorated with extraordinary accomplishments.

He lived through rough times in the Great Depression but was able to persevere and to prosper. Glenn was a highly respected and decorated fighter pilot in World War II and the Korean War. He was the first man to orbit the earth, travel across North America at supersonic speeds, and go into

One of the reasons the moon landing was important is that it helps us win the space race against the U.S.S.R. The space race was between America and Russia which meant who every did the most things in space wins the space race. The space race went from 1957-1975 and America won the space race

The trip around the world continued the “space race” between countries. There were other trips into space later on. One of the major space trips years after Glenn was the “man on the moon.” On July twentieth, nineteen sixty-nine, Neil Armstrong, an American astronaut was the first man to walk on the moon. His famous words are “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Space journeys continued the years following the “man on the moon.” Machines are used to record space by taking pictures in order to obtain more information concerning space.

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
