The Success Of The Moon Landing

In the second text, “In Event of Moon Disaster” by William Safire, he also appealed to SOAPS and ethos logos and pathos. Although William might have written the speech, President Nixon was going to be the one to have read it aloud if all went downhill, so the speaker is Nixon. The occasion is the “funeral speech” he would have given if the mission was not successful. The audiences were all the Americans and loved ones of the astronauts on the mission, basically the entire world that was watching and waiting for the results of Apollo 11. The purpose of this speech was to address not only the families of the deceased loved ones but also the entire nation as well. It was to be used as a precaution just in case the first ever moon landing failed. The subject would be the worst case scenario of the moon landing. Nixon’s speech appealed to ethos because he is the president. By him having that title, it makes him a credible source because he's the one who must help guide the American people in the face of such tragedy. The speech appealed to logos by implying there was no chance of the astronauts making it back. Pathos was established because it was overall a very delicate subject. Safire used emotional connections with the audience by

In the first text, “Man Takes First Steps on the Moon”, it shows the rhetorical appeals such as ethos, logos and pathos. The Times gives credibility to Neil Armstrong for being the first man to step on the moon: “Neil Armstrong became the first man to take a walk on the moon’s surface early

I believe the author achieved their purpose because they reported what happened before, during, and after Armstrong took those first strides. The second text, “In event of moon disaster” purpose was to thank and honor the men that died for the “search for truth and understanding”.The speaker would have been President Nixon and the writer was William Safire, the audience being the victims families, people of america and people of the rest of the world. Safire appeals to ethos because he has credibility as the man who writes all the “president's speeches and it would have been President Nixon giving the speech. The tex appeals to logos by the logic that they died for a good and noble reason to “search for truth and understanding” Pathos is applied by the event being astronauts death which would be obvisouly higly emotionally charged and by applying feelings of solemness (if it actually happened) and gratefulness becuaase this disaster didnnt happen.Also feelings of hope with saying “others will follow and sure;y find their way

In the First passage, called “ Man Takes First Steps on the Moon By the Times “. Talks about Neil Armstrong who became the first man who took a walk on the moon’s surface. Pathos is used when Neil Armstrong uses his known quote

On July 16, 1969, NASA launched a shuttle into space containing Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. They were going to be the first people to step foot on the Moon. This mission into the unknown caused a commotion on Earth. Many reputable news sources across the world created various sources about this event. These are weighted with the high emotions that ran through the world as well as the facts gathered as the brave men first put their footprints on the barren surface of the Moon. The creators of each peice used logos, pathos, and ethos to get the desired response from their audiences.

The speaker of this text is William Safire. The occasion also has to do with the moon landing, but it talks about what would have been said by President Nixon’s speechwriter if the mission was not successful. The audience would be the entire world, because it would have been a tragedy if it was not accomplished Safire would have told everyone in the planet about it. The purpose of this text would have been to let everyone know about the fatal deaths that happened in the attempt to have landed on the moon and to also let everyone know how they feel about losing these souls and that they would always be remembered. The subject of the text is to notify everyone in the world about the failure of the moon landing. Ethos is shown in the text because it is proving that it is credible and trustworthy since this would have been said by someone that President Nixon knew. Pathos is also displayed in the text because it claims that, “ They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.” This proves that there is emotions and everyone would have been very sorrowful and depressed for the lives that had just been lost. Logos is shown in the text by stating the year in which it was released and since it said it was “prepared” then that means that it was written ahead of time before it was released,

Shortly after Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed and walked successfully on the Moon for the first time in history, another lunar mission almost ended in disaster without the valor and strong leadership it took to get three men back to Earth. Jim Lovell (played by Tom Hanks), Jack Swiggert (played by Kevin Bacon), and Fred Haise (played by Bill Paxton) blasted off on the Apollo 13 mission on April 11, 1970, in trying to collect samples from the surface of the Moon and survey it. Swiggert took the place of the more experienced Ken Mattingly (played by Gary Sinese) since Mattingly was the only one not immune to the measles after one of the other astronauts had contracted it. The flight surgeon

Though connecting the speaker, the audience, and the subject are important for an author, it is also crucial to use literary appeals to draw in readers successfully. One of the appeals used- ethos- shows Safire’s credibility when he was the president’s speechwriter. In addition, logos, which appeals to readers through logic, was displayed since the speech was mourning the astronauts. The mood of what was supposed to be a joyous event becomes somber in that the president has to state the unimaginable disaster that could’ve happened. With this, the author uses pathos by honoring the two astronauts for their mettle and stating that all of America would be mourning them. Also, the tone becomes solemn and encouraging because the author displays the pathos in that way. Safire includes that “ in their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man” which makes the reader feel sad but proud to have such men to “serve” the

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.

On July 20, 1969, humanity did itself proud in spite of all its wars, sadism, hatred, and insanity. We set foot on another planet. Men walked on the moon. This changed our belief in what we could accomplish.

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.

In these three texts they all appeal to the three rhetorical devices mentioned above, and they were very effective indeed. In the first article by Times of London, titled ¨Man Takes First Steps on the Moon¨ we can see the article appealing to ethos. For example, President Nixon watching the events on television described it as “one of the greatest moments of our time.” This appeals to ethos by convincing the reader of a credible persuader which was the president.

The Apollo 11 mission was a huge accomplishment, not only for the United States, but for the entire future of space exploration. The mission impacted the world as we know it, and opened up a whole new realm for us to explore. Apollo 11 was a massive undertaking many thought would never succeed, but now it could be considered the most memorable space experience of all time. Because of its magnitude, many writers wrote about the mission. The writers of that time wrote about the chance for disaster, the jaw dropping launch, the first steps on the moon, and the controversy that surrounded the first mission to the moon.

Was the moon landing a fake? How did we have the technology to send a rocket as well as people to the space? The footprint on the moon didn’t match that of Armstrong's boot, where’d this tread pattern left on the footprint come from? These are just some questions that are asked about the moon landing. Was it real or fake? You could research this topic on many different webpages, books, and personal opinions but will it ever bring us closer to the truth? Also can you trust what you read or heard from someone or a website. The moon landing was a hoax based on many different facts and accusations.

July 16th, 1969. It’s a peaceful morning at Cape Canaveral with pleasant temperatures and little wind. All is calm. Suddenly, a tremendous roar shatters the morning as the crew of Apollo 11 blast off toward the moon, riding the biggest rocket ever created. Burning 20 tons of explosive fuel a second, it propels Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins into history. The spacecraft lands four days later on the moon. Millions watched as men took the first steps on a strange place 238,900 miles away, or 9 and ½ times around the earth. After placing America’s flag among the lunar rocks, the Apollo 11 crew lit their engines and headed for the small blue sphere we call home, splashing down safely in the ocean and completing Kennedy’s
