Astronaut

I chose this source because this website talked all about what he did as an astronaut in Apollo 11 and it speaks about his life before and after his time as an astronaut. This page even has things that Collins himself had said or thought during this event. The bias of this source was very easily noticeable. It's obvious that the author, Robin Mckie, was on Michael Collins' side because he said things like, "He would not suffer a fate of global notoriety. In fact, the opposite happened." You can…

the moon. Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first astronauts involved. Mr Armstrong was the first to step onto the MOON the 21st of July at 2:56 UTC. They collected 21.5 kg of lunar material to take back to earth. There was also another astronaut called Michael Collins who piloted the command spacecraft by himself until Armstrong and Aldrin returned a day later to go back to earth. These were the first astronauts to make a lunar landing. Apollo 11 was launched by a Saturn V…

The designation was STS-6, the launch pad was LC-39A, and the landing location was Edwards Air Force Base. In this flight there was a girl named Sally Ride. She is the first American woman to be in space. She is also the youngest American astronaut that has traveled to space. The third flight was on August 30, 1983. The designation was STS-8, launch pad was LC-39A, and the landing location was Edwards Air Force Base. This flight took off at night which made it the first night launch and the…

others lives. Its like you are playing a sport, you can't leave your position unless a team player covers your position until you get back, but here if nobody covers your position you might not survive. On Mars astronauts would have to watch how they eat and drink because, “Each astronaut will be able to use about 50 liters of water per day” (Mars One). In Mars humans wouldn’t be able to move too far away from their homes, they don't have GPS to get them back to their home. It would be scary to…

discovered and accomplished some great things. These missions helped scientists learn about things in outer space. They changed our world by giving us valuable information about different planets and galaxies today. All these space missions sacrificed astronauts lives and lots of money. They learn about our universe, NASA uses the knowledge they find for future missions, and find things in space to use down on Earth. NASA launched two great rovers. On June 10, 2003 Mars Rover Spirit was sent…

the grandeur of the cosmos become evident. Astronauts and spectators of the Mercury and Apollo missions gained a new perspective of their place in the universe and ideas as to what mankind’s new achievement meant to them. An analysis of the Mercury and Apollo space Programs reveals two limiting factors to the extent of spiritual transformation and religious implications the programs evoked:…

photos and film provided by NASA. Then turn them into something that isn’t there. Unlike most other conspiracies around the world, the ones surrounding the NASA landings, just aren’t well thought out. To the average person, the photographs showing an astronaut stand out compared to the present background to the shadows not being parallel. These arguments may seem legitimate, but conspiracy theorists lack the advanced understanding how light differs on the moon compared to Earth. Another argument…

Going to Mars may sound like the trip of a lifetime. Going to a planet that is so much different than our own, training with professional astronauts and, of course, flying in a spaceship. However, the Mars One plan has many flaws, such as an unrealistic amount of time to make the mission work, not enough money to buy space equipment, and a low food supply. One of the main problems with Mars One’s plan is the time they say it will take get the mission ready. Mars One has publicly stated that…

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 Disaster” as a contingency just in case the astronauts became stranded on the moon.The speech would have been given by President Nixon to the American people. It was successful because of its unique use of Pathos. For example, Safire states that “These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin,…

helped rescue the astronauts on the Apollo 13 mission. Though the highly anticipated Apollo 1 mission had been meticulously built, tested, and modified, a fatal fire caused it to be an utter failure. Mr. Hagar recalled during a test run that a leak occurred, causing serious damage. Requiring months to fully clean up the spillage and repair the break, the team thought that the problem had been resolved. After the astronauts had sat in the Apollo 1 for several hours, one of the astronauts stated…
