Buzz Aldrin

knew that the ability to land on the moon would be impossible because of the radiation levels. This being the case they set the whole thing up. He says that the launched was staged and then when the shuttle was out of site, they would transport Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong to a movie stage. After they got there they play-acted the lunar landing in front of cameras, and the phony event was then transmitted by NASA to millions of unsuspecting viewers. That movie set was said to have to be in…

The Moon and Beyond, America’s pursuit of new frontiers The moon and stars have pondered men for thousands of years, but all it took were three American astronauts to captivate every person not just in America, but also throughout the world in July of 1969. But how did America get that far and what did Americans think of NASA and the government in its attempt to send a man beyond our home on planet Earth. Man had never ventured out into our solar system up until the Apollo program took flight in…

Face it, Art is Art To be considered an artist is debatable. If one can be considered an artist, and if their work should even be considered as art, is argued constantly, but the truth is, no one can define an artist as one solid definition. The exact definition of art is considered: a wide variety of possessions and effects a person can show, create or capture. So, when it comes to photography, it shouldn 't be questionable if the photos themselves are art or not. They should be, because of…

Earth orbit, getting used to each other’s smells and habits in their weightless environment, in a living space no bigger than the inside of a Volkswagen Beetle. He then commanded the final flight of the Gemini program, Gemini 12, in 1966 alongside Buzz Aldrin. The Christmas Eve Genesis reading and beautiful ‘Earthrise’ photo taken on board during one of 10 orbits of the Moon are historic in themselves, and of course I couldn’t meet that mission’s Command Module Pilot without having him sign a…

The Apollo Program, led by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), had one goal: to land humans on the moon. “In 1961, President John F. Kennedy challenged the nation to land astronauts on the moon by the end of the decade. NASA met that challenge with the Apollo Program” (What Was the Apollo Program?). The program started with its first attempted flight in 1967, had its first successful flight in 1968, and ended with a moon landing in 1972. Missions 7 to 10 did not land…

Nasa feared that one of the crew members may have carried some kind of moon pathogen that could end up killing millions. Despite Nasa’s precaution, it was later revealed by one of Apollo 11’s crew members Buzz Aldrin that there were ants and cracks in the quaterine chamber. Thankfully, the crew didn’t contract any form of moon pathogens. As it should be since there is no life on the moon. However, the risk of astronauts going to Mars and contacting some horrible…

On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first satellite, Sputnik into orbit. From that point on, the United States and the USSR were thrown into a race to see who could get further into space and develop the technology to do so. This became known as the Space Race. In response, to the Sputnik satellite the United States launched Explorer 1 on January 31, 1958 just four months after the Soviets. Soon, both the Soviets and the Americans were launching larger spacecrafts, with animals and…

On July 20, 1969, NASA successfully sent three men, Neil Armstrong, “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins, to the Moon for its Apollo 11 mission, one of the many missions in the Apollo program. About seven years after the landings, in 1976, a man named Bill Kaysing released a book title We Never Went to the Moon: America’s Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle, in which he claimed that the entire landing was simply a hoax. Since then, many people have read this book (or similar books) or heard about the…

From my perspective, I would see the little world called Earth, which holds all of my life within a couple miles of its surface, off in the distant. While being on the Moon I would visit the famous American flag put there by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Visting the Moon would be great, but does not seem like an even likely to occur in my…
