New Jersey is the greatest state in America. This has nothing to do with the fact that I have lived in New Jersey my whole life; I make this claim strictly with objectivity and fact based arguments. The diverse, and densely populated state is home to a bevy of attractive and titillating features. Historically, culturally, scenically, New Jersey is without equal. Conventional wisdom of New Jersey’s ails are not grounded in reality. New Jersey is called “The Garden State” for a reason, as despite…

“There are two ways that technology is developed to benefit humanity: one is by war and the other is by space exploration (Coles 2016).” Since 1969, the United States has sent many astronauts and scientists into outer space.

At the end of the War World II, Germany faced “catastrophic” failure. In a final bid for victory, “Hitler ordered the launch of a new secret weapon” (Everest, Space Race)—the V-2 rockets, which “[took] just 6 minutes to travel 200 miles to London” (Everest, Space Race) and caused 134 people to die without any defense. Obviously, Hitler’s V2 Long Range Rockets were deadly. Hence, this attack soon drew Allies’, especially the Soviets’ and the Americans’, attentions. They realized that the V-2…

If you have heard the quote “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”, it is talking about how Neil Armstrong and his team, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins landed on the moon which marked history for the U.S. and for the world in 1969. After the successful mission of the Apollo 11 the U.S finally landed a man on the moon, this resulted in uniting America more than ever, it resulted in over 6,000 inventions that we use daily, and most importantly, it ended the space race between the…

raise the money being spent on Math and Science departments to better persuade students to go into that field . The Space Race was also good for giving people of the United States of America a sense of place in the world. Before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped foot on the moon , there had been few trips to space, but when the two astronauts came back from their trip to the moon, they had pictures to show for it. These photographs were shown to citizens of the United States of America…
