There are a ton of missions, people and projects that played a major contribution in the Space shuttle program. One of the programs that I think contributed the most are the Apollo programs which are also known as project Apollo. It was in fact not the first program to attempt human spaceflight by NASA but the third and accomplished many goals between the 1960’s and 1970’s. There is one Apollo mission though that really catches my eye and makes me believe that this is the mission that made…

excitement that my parents felt when the T.V. cart got wheeled into their classrooms to watch the fuzzy images of the Apollo missions come through. I have grown up hearing about the immense pride that one felt on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. You were never more proud to be an American than in that moment, and we were never more envied by the world than in that moment. The sad truth is that the United States does not do great things anymore. NASA can help…

I want to believe For years, humans have looked up to the stars, wondering what is in space. As time passed and science evolved, the human race discovered many wondrous objects in space. Space has, for some, become a land of fantasy and storytelling. This has led some people to come up with conspiracy theories about space and extraterrestrial life that are absolutely absurd. One of the most interesting theories is that President Obama was teleported into space in the 1980s as part of an elite…
