In the aftermath of the 2nd World War, the United States and the Soviet Union became embroiled in a competitive arms race that saw significant military gains on both sides, eventually culminating in the development of rockets capable of striking every territory across the world ("The Real Story of Apollo 17... And Why We Never Went Back To The Moon."). The Soviet Union succeeded in putting Yuri Gagarin into space in 1961, just a couple years after launching the first satellite into orbit ("The…
The Space Race began with the launch of Sputnik, and from then on it did nothing but heat up. The launch of Sputnik did give the Soviets a lead, but The U.S. quickly answered back with the expedited launch of their satellite, the Explorer 1. Now that the U.S. had realized that they were behind, they began making major strides in the field of space exploration. The first change that thy made was creating the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and immediately after creating the…
claims the lives of more Americans than any other disease. American Heart Association had an event at our school called Jump Rope For Heart. This event had an option for us to fund raise for the research of coronary heart disease through the team of Buzz Aldrin Elementary.I had choose to fund raise, but after I collected money with the team, I took a step further and created a personal fundraising page online through American Heart Association.

After World War II was over, the United States and the Soviet Union were at War. This is commonly referred to as the “Cold” War, there was no fighting involved, but it was the idea of the United States to stop communism to spread any more. To solve one of these problems, there was a Space Race going to happen, which later turned out to be a race to land a man on the Moon. Furthermore, I would like to discuss the competition between the Soviet’s and Americans, the basic facts of the mission, and…

As our government was the first to put a man on the moon and return him to earth many do believe the conspiracy that the moon landing was fake and that the government since has been trying to disprove that conspiracy but there are many reasons to believe that; because it says at first America wanted to be the first to put a man in space but they got beat by the Russians, and since then, since they wanted to the greatest space achievement, their new mission was to put a man on the moon and so,…
The theory states that the U.S. government were incredibly desperate to defeat the Russians in the space race, so they staged the lunar landings, along with Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin acting out their mission on a secret film set, located either high in the Hollywood Hills or deep within Area 51. Many different articles and websites claim that the Moon landing was a hoax. Enki Village’s article Moon Landing Hoax gives the top…
The Space Race was a 20th-century competition between two Cold War rivals and the world’s great powers–the democratic, capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union for proving the superiority of its technology and capability in spaceflight. The space race started when the Soviet union launched Sputnik which was the world’s first artificial satellite and the first man-made object to be placed into the Earth’s orbit in October 1957. Sputnik’s launch came as a surprise. A month…
