them, they spent $24 billion, which is more than $150 billion in inflation adjusted dollars. Their so-called “Apollo” program allegedly employed 400,000 people, supported by more than 20,000 companies and research institutions” (How Do We Know the Moon Landing Isn’t Fake?). Not many people would go to the extreme to try and fake all their supporters if being supported as Nasa and Apollo 11 was in 1969 to prep for the moon landing. Although there are people who can decide to go that far and if…

Their training “included a "little of everything" ranging from a graduate-level course in introductory space science to simulator training and scuba-diving” (NASA).

According to the Congress of America, the account shows that after the “Apollo 13” in 1972 during the “Cold War”, the total cost of “Space Exploration” was cut down over 75 percent, and maintain the cost for 42 years. At 2014, the cost of “Space Exploration” is just 0.5 percent of the total cost of America total expend which means every American spend 54 dollars to support the “Space Exploration” which is far less than that in “Apollo Period”, 200 dollars. On the other hand some people might…

The thought of sending the human species on an interplanetary space mission to colonize the moon is a concept that has captured the minds of scientists for generations. Space colonization has been viewed as a mere theme in science fiction for years; however, it may not remain a scientific fantasy for long. The idea of sending humans to the moon in an attempt to populate it may initially sound mindless and foolish, but after careful mental analysis, it’s become clear that populating the moon may…

Of these scientific discoveries was the augmentation of the knowledge of the mysterious concept known as space. United States was not the only country to embark on the acquisition of this knowledge; the Soviet Union was also seeking to gain information on space before the United States could.

What goes on in Area 51 has long been a mystery. People have always been curious as to what goes on beyond the high levels of security and in the depths of the actual buildings. Although Area 51 keeps everything they do a secret, they do, in fact, have extraterrestrial findings that they keep in possession without the world’s knowledge. There are two locations of Area 51; the first one is located in the Nevada desert within reach of Groom Lake, which is a lake that overtime has dried out. It is…

What if we found out that Mars was habitable and we wanted to go and live on Mars? Just being in space is dangerous. All these movies about space is actually giving us a warning about what could happen. The Apollo Movies are actual events that happened in astronautics in the early age of space flight and that was just going to the moon. Here are some reasons on why we shouldn't be going to Mars. First of all, going to Mars would cost millions. No, billions, about 6 billion or more. The…

moon accomplished bringing in scientific treasure, political leverage, but possibly the most important aspect of it was the fact that it united the nation. William J Cook described this as follows: “A moon landing was to be attempted on the fifth Apollo flight. In an otherwise awful year, it would be a singular event that brought Americans together, however briefly” (Cook 2). It was clear that John F. Kennedy’s speech was powerful, because he not only accomplished the original goal of sending a…

My Day at the Kennedy Space Center Huge, looming rockets, each one paving the way to landing on the moon, and higher. Aall gathered into one place. - The Kennedy Space Center.
