Apollo

One of the very 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…

study about the Apollo Missions. This just seemed very interesting, and so I thought, why not learn more about them? I learned that when the Apollo Missions started it really was about a race between American scientists and officials and the Soviet Union. Russia was on the brink of sending people into space. As far as I understand it, American officials didn’t want America to seem weak and helpless in the face of new technology and discovery. So they formulated NASA and the Apollo space program…

Some of most agreed upon evidence by speculators stems from the photography taken by the Apollo Astronauts. The claims state that the camera technology available in the early 1960’s was too poor at capturing shadowing and lighting that the multiple light sources captured on the moon must have been impossible and only doable with the usage of the use of external lighting. Believing that an entire camera set was brought to the moon to take pictures is quite ludicrous, leading to the only logical…

1970, so then Apollo 13 blasted off into space from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center. The 3 astronauts called Lovell, Haise, and Swigert was strapped inside their compact spacecraft, which was perched atop of a 360-foot-tall rocket packed with millions of pounds of fuel to fly into space. The mission was to land on the moon and explore a hill section called Fra Mauro. Also, gather samples of the moon’s sandy dirt and 4-billion-year-old rocks. After 2 days since the launch of the Apollo 13, the 3…

movies about space and space adventures. “The Martian” and “Apollo 13” are one of the best movies about the world beyond the earth. They both express precisely the emotions of the astronauts travelling in the space and of the rest of the world, relatives, friends and crew members of each mission into the space. These two movies are quite different but still have a lot in common. “Apollo 13” is about seventh manned mission in American Apollo space program and the third one intended to land on the…

soon to be famous astronauts would make their marks in the history books. On July 16, 1969 , Apollo 11 was launched. The spacecraft carried Commander Neil A. Armstrong , Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” E. Aldrin, Jr. Two of the three would soon go on to do something that no other human had ever done, they would walk on the moon. These American’s manning Apollo 11 impacted people everywhere by, teaching more about science, inspiring future space…

Joseph Erhabor Professor Fletcher English 1101 19 November 2014 Apollo 13 Successful and Failure Apollo 13 is one of the most memorable missions in NASA. Apollo 13 how about crew members on the mission. The crew was ready to launch until they had a problem with the ship. They had to hold back the mission for a couple of seconds. The Apollo 13 mission had technical problems with the spaceship. This missions took place in April, 11 1970 (apollo 13).The crew was excited to launch. The crew member…

NASA has not completed all of their missions. Most missions have succeeded their goals however, there is a handful of missions that have failed. Space mission Gemini, Apollo 13, and Spirit and Opportunity have two things in common. They all have spinoffs, and they all tried or succeeded to travel to planets. This mission is Apollo 13, the only one that did not accomplish its goal, Gemini, and Spirit and Opportunity are missions that succeeded. Space mission Spirit and Opportunity were…

Earth’s moon on the mission Apollo 11 in 1969 demonstrated the vigilance and courage of astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. As Neil Armstrong descended on the ladder of the Eagle to take the very first step on the moon’s surface, the world was watching human’s greatest achievement unfold. This mission proved that the exploration of outer space is valuable because it was considered one of man’s most prideful moments. Man’s abilities were put to the test in the Apollo 11 mission. With a…

Mcquaid says NASA was created to develop the United States’ non-military space effort (Mcquaid). On May 25, 1961 President John F. Kennedy set a goal for the program: “perform a crewed lunar landing and return to Earth” (Loff). On July 16, 1969 Apollo 11 launched and 4 days later millions watched as Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz’ Aldrin became the first men to step foot on the moon. But was this…
