of achieving a lunar landing. Both the Mercury and Gemini programs proved to NASA that a manned lunar mission was in fact possible. Finally, in 1969, the time had come for Apollo 11 to make its journey to the moon. “On July 21, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface to become the first person in history to set foot on another world” (Robin McKie). Millions were watching the broadcast from the moon as he took his first steps. The world, for a single moment, was united. Not…

The Space Race began with the launch of Sputnik, and from then on it did nothing but heat up. The launch of Sputnik did give the Soviets a lead, but The U.S. quickly answered back with the expedited launch of their satellite, the Explorer 1. Now that the U.S. had realized that they were behind, they began making major strides in the field of space exploration. The first change that thy made was creating the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and immediately after creating the…

world? We had people coming up with their own ideas to make products we use every day in our lives. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Just as Robert Goddard and Neil Armstrong show, there is a first for everything, and we need leaders to show us the way through the impossible. Robert Goddard was an engineer who came up with the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket. People make jokes when something is hard…

We all know the phrase, “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Neil Armstrong said this as he took the first steps on the moon. This moment was an immense one for humans. We had finally reached the moon, something scientists had always dreamed of. Although, what if it was fake? What if everything we learned about this great moment was not the truth? The moon landing conspiracy theory is one that is greatly followed and believed by many. It states that the moon landing was, in fact…

In sumary, there were lots of questions to be answered before they could achieve that goal. The article I read spend several pages talking about these questions and their solutions. The mission Apollo 11 put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Moon soil on July 20, 1969. And this was one of the most importante days for the Human Race. As stated on the article, “NASA eventually spent $24.5 billion on the apollo programo f 16 unmaned missions and 12 manned missions…

was used to access to the next compartment. For the Apollo 11 mission, the third stage was the Columbia. The Columbia is a command module which houses the lunar module. The lunar module for Apollo 11 was the Eagle which carried Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong from the moon’s orbit to the moon’s surface and all the way…

Neil Armstrong once said, “That’s one small step for man… one giant leap for mankind.” When man reached the moon, it changed science forever. It all started on July 16, 1969, when a Saturn V rocket was launched from Cape Kennedy, Florida, and thus began the Apollo 11 mission. The rocket was destined for the moon with a crew consisted of three brave men: Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, and Michael Collins. After four days, on July 20, Armstrong made his mark on the moon and planted the American…

Accompanied by Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins they documented their findings and helped place the American Flag on the Moon. The Budget for the operation went around twenty six billion Dollars Mostly Funded by the United States government. The dangers of being an Astronaut were High when in space or…

important scientific breakthroughs in history was landing on the moon, or the mission known as Apollo 11. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the two of the three people on this mission it took three days from lift off to landing on the moon. It was the first mission that put a man on the moon but was not the last. There has been twelve people who have landed on the moon including Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. All astronauts who have been on a lunar landing mission have been men. The only…

Moon Landing Hoax, Neil Armstrong first was the first man on the moon, at least said to be. It’s hard to believe in 1969 that there was basically a space ship created to land on the moonhaving a man walk the first steps there. At the time small objects of new technology was being created such as a mouse for a computer, ATM’s, barcode scanners. Comparing the new technology being created at that time to a space ship on the moon with men aboard it’s difficult to believe; however, a few years after…
