Apollo

I have tried to think of the beginning of spaceflight as a metaphor for brothers. The siblings argued over whose idea it was first. Two of the boys, Russia and the United States, decided that they would have a race to see who could get there first. Just like any challenge, the winner would get bragging rights for the rest of their life. After Russia got into orbit around the Earth first and technically won, the US decided that they should go again to see who could get farther, because getting…

Zaboosh I was packing up all my belongings at home, planet Zaboosh. I packed up my boots, toothbrush, and my hats. We are all pigs on planet Zaboosh, so we have a tradition that when you get old enough and mature enough you get to mover to earth, but if you don’t like it you can move back. I was really excited to see all the others animals at earth because all I see is pigs. I wobbled to my spaceship to leave Zaboosh. I waved bye to my family and we took off. I have never been on a spaceship…

In John F. Kennedy’s “We Choose to go to the Moon”, there are multiple examples of rhetorical devices throughout the speech. These devices include anaphora, metonymy, and parallelism. When Kennedy says, “no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space”, he is used parallelism to emphasize that space is just as dangerous as anything else, but it is our choice to go. Almost everyone supported this risk taking idea, but the way in how he delivered his words was what gained his support…

Cold War Propaganda Happening concurrently with the Space Race between the Soviet Union and the United States was the Cold War. As relations were deteriorating with each new conflict, both governments started creating and distributing propaganda in order to maintain public support and a unified home front. Propaganda materials, such as posters and art, were abundant in both the US and the USSR. In the Soviet Union, there are various posters that utilized many socialist symbols as well as the…

The cost of human life during the Space Race between the United States and Russia was the most important in getting a man to the moon. In 1967, a fire exploded in the cabin, killing Lieut.

Even though the vehicle was built to reach the moon 239,000 miles away, it exploded 218 ft. above the launch pad at Cape Kennedy. This was a…

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.…
