and Michael Collins. Since that very day, there have been countless debates on if the moon landing actually happened or it was just a hoax put on by the United States to beat the Soviet Union to the moon in the Space Race. After the men of the Apollo 11 mission returned to safely to the surface of the Earth theorist started to spring up saying the whole mission was faked.

minutes later, fuel cells one and three failed. Over the next 130 minutes, the second oxygen tank, damaged by the blast, spewed its precious cargo out into the void. With all oxygen depleted, the last fuel cell flickered out. The crew of spaceflight Apollo 13 was left stranded with no power, no oxygen, and no way to return--205,000 miles from home. Immediately, Houston sprang into a frenzy of action. It was clear that entirely new solutions needed to be rapidly found, tested, and executed if the…

Have you ever been going 25,000 mph, fourteen times the speed of a bullet? Apollo 13 was just any old Apollo mission a least to the American people. Apollo 13 was a little mission that was to go to the moon and collect rocks that were fourteen billion years old. The oxygen tank exploded two days into their mission. It exploded because of faulty wiring that is why their mission was a fail. One reason that their mission was a fail was they couldn’t even compete their job. Their job was to…

“It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract.” This means that he does not feel safe in space when the government pays the least for safety equipment. Alan Shepard was an important figure in the field of aviation, because he walked on the moon and was 1 of 7 first astronauts. He was born on November 18, 1923, he was born in New Hampshire, East Derry, his parents are Renza Shepherd and Alan B.…

first footage from the moon from Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. There many witnessed them take their first steps on the moon and plant the US flag on alien soil.

because they usually know what they are doing, and if they do not, they act like it so the group does not lose hope in the leader and project they are working on.
