The worldwide attention brought about by the success of the Apollo 11 moon landing was used by many speakers and writers to push forward their own agenda or opinions using a variety of rhetorical appeals and strategies. The texts, “Man’s First Step on the Moon” , a news article by the Times of London, “In Event of Moon Disaster”, a prepared speech to be spoken by President Nixon written by William Safire, “The July 16, 1969, Launch: A Symbol of Man’s Greatness”, a commentary by philosopher Ayn Rand

Proudly placing the American flag into the ground, Neil Armstrong proclaimed “that’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” as he took his first steps becoming the first American to walk on the moon.

If we look around the island, we find evidence of a population that exhausted its resources. Most likely, the prime culprit for the quick loss of natural resources was the frenzied pace of Moai construction. It was an enormous effort to carve the Moai and transported to its final location. Given the rate of consumption to meet the demand for statue construction, natural resources were used up before there was time for renewal; however, Moai creation would not be the only reason for the resource

When a butterfly flaps its wings, it is said that a hurricane can form as a result. Of course, we do not see the hurricane--that comes much later-- we simply see a butterfly going about its business.

The door to the bulky module unlatched to a whirr, and from behind it emerged a figure cladded in white. “One giant leap for mankind,” the man uttered, as he descended the short flight of stairs down to ground level, disengaging his fishbowl helmet to the pleased “Cut!” of the director and the thrilled clapping of everyone else in the studio. This was Apollo 11 for the moon landing conspiracy theorists, who will swear by their beliefs despite the standard opinion of the television and the textbook
