Apollo 17

The success of the Apollo 11 mission forever changed the idea of “the sky’s the limit.” On July 20, 1969 at 3:39 A.M. Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin became the first human beings to walk on the moon. Authors Ayn Rand, William Safire,and The Times all wrote about this world-changing event.These authors effectively communicated their purpose by using rhetorical strategies such as ethos, pathos, and logos. William Safire, President Nixon’s speechwriter, wrote the speech “In event of Moon…

The Moon Landing Conspiracy On July 20, 1969, the United States supposedly landed on the moon. Millions of people believe this, but millions don’t. Millions of people believe that the Apollo 11 mission successfully landed on the moon, and that Neil Armstrong was the first human to step on the moon, followed by Buzz Aldrin. Millions of people believe that this is a hoax, to win the “space race” of the 1960’s. Me personally, I believe it was a hoax, to prevent embarrassment. in 1961, JFK said…

NASA “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Those where famous astronaut Neil Armstrong’s words when he stepped foot on the moon. However, that was only the first step in space exploration. There is no telling what the limits out there are beyond earth. Who sends people to outer space and the moon you might ask? Well, NASA does, they are experts in studying beyond earth. People at NASA are hard working men and women just like everyone else. All that needs to be done, is…

In 1997, the Longaberger Basket Company built its headquarters in Newark, Ohio. However, anyone who glances at the building is guaranteed to do a double-take. At first glance, the building looks like a giant basket, complete with handles. The company’s founder, Dave Longaberger, oversaw the design, stating, “if they can put a man on the moon, they can certainly build a building that’s shaped like a basket.” He was able to create this eye-catching metaphor by integrating the parts of a building…

when he became the first man to ever step foot on the moon. The moon landing had many important factors, which made it such an extraordinary moment in time. For this whole event to occur, a well-equipped space shuttle was needed. That shuttle was Apollo 11. The service module contained oxygen, water, and electric power for the command module. During the journey to and from the Moon, Columbia, the main room, similar to a living room, had a space about as…

Truth Behind The Moon Landings, theorists claim the whole landing to have been staged with props because of the lack of technology, the multiple light sources, and lack of stars in all photo and video evidence. Many people are skeptical about the Apollo 11 landing on the moon because, in the 1960s, NASA did not have advanced enough equipment and technology. Ralph René, a self-taught engineer and author claims, “there’s absolutely no way they went to the moon with what they had, in fact, there’s…

out of nowhere cutting there Kennedy's ship in half. Only 2 men were lost. At #4 is Apollo 11. The reason it is so high on the list is because there is a rumor going around saying the first moon landing is a hoax. One of the biggest rumors is that it is totally fake because in one of the pictures, there is no stars in the sky. There are so many rumors that they can’t explain all of them. But then again, Apollo 11 was the first moon landing. So thanks to Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and…

Moon landing conspiracy theories claim that foundations of the Apollo program and the connected Moon landings were complete frauds staged by NASA. The most famous claim is that landings (1969–72) were faked and that 12 Apollo astronauts did not actually walk on the Moon. Numerous groups and individuals have made these accusations since the mid-1970s, that NASA and others intentionally deceived the public into believing the landings happened, by manufacturing or destroying…

“In 1999, the well-known American climber Conrad Anker discovered Mallory’s body on a sloping edge at 27,000 feet, where it had come to rest after an apparent fall seventy-five years earlier.” (Krakauer, 1999, p.18). After conducting further research on this statement, nothing invalidates it but one part; Mallory’s body was found 63 years prior to when Krakauer said he was found. In 1936, Everest pioneer Frank Smythe spotted Mallory’s body during a telescope survey. It was right where Mallory…

The tragedy of the Apollo 1 fire is the biggest counterpoint to one the United States’ most awesome achievements, the Apollo program. This program’s roots extend back into the 1800’s but truly became possible with the beginning of the Space Race. After the race for the Moon began with President Kennedy’s historic speech, America began heading for both victory and tragedy in the rush to be first to the Moon. In the sprint of the Apollo program, NASA overlooked the technical risks of the command…
