The head of the land of liberty has a responsibility to calm the nation, especially for an event an entire country lacked the ability to ignore. Nixon needed a speech that would assure the public that the two traveler’s trip to the moon was not for loss in the worst case scenario. The speech’s effectiveness mostly comes from the emphasis that…

palace views around the globe. The river to the sea sang sunlight and moonbeams. And she listened. Lupines bloomed waves of purple, pink and white, undulating as the sea breeze licked the field. It was July, the warmest month of the year. The Full Buck moon peaked over the horizon. The night air, close but cool, amplified the voices of the river and her inhabitants. The little girl listened. Fishermen from villages all along the coast spoke of the declining clam harvest. Little clams seemed…

Skippy, Schlomo, Schlob, and Gary. A few years ago they decided to meet up at the moon for a get together. They had fun, hung out, and even hiked some craters. On the last day of their trip they went out to eat. Schlomo came up with the idea to play tag, and then Skippy said let's play the biggest game of tag ever. They all agreed and played rock, paper, scissors to find out who would be it first. Schlob lost and the others were given two hours to travel to different galaxies and hide.…

with stars dancing along with the silky white moon. For hundreds of years humans studied these stars and on May 25, 1961 President John F. Kennedy had a challenge at the ready, to land a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth before the end of the decade, this inspired series of missions called Apollo.

In explaining the old man's comment about being like the moon, Ishmael's grandmother notes that although people are often bothered by the bright light of the sun, few people ever complain about the moonlight. She tells him that good things happen under the light of the moon. Ishmael later comes to see the moon as a source of solace that provides him with encouragement. What’s in the wheelbarrow is a dead body wrapped in white bed sheets; he is taking it to the cemetery, I think he says that…

of nowhere cutting there Kennedy's ship in half. Only 2 men were lost. At #4 is Apollo 11. The reason it is so high on the list is because there is a rumor going around saying the first moon landing is a hoax. One of the biggest rumors is that it is totally fake because in one of the pictures, there is no stars in the sky. There are so many rumors that they can’t explain all of them. But then again, Apollo 11 was the first moon landing. So thanks to Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin…

space development. The program was able to complete mission after mission, further progressing towards their ultimate goal of landing on the moon. They had later accomplished this goal. The victory gave the American people prestige and and united many around the concept of development together. Soon, the Cold War would be ended and there would be many lost sheep who would look to be apart of a herd. NASA would prove to be a great shepard, creating international alliances and peace treaties in…

In April, 1970, the same year that China had its first satellite, Dong Fang Hong 1, launched into orbit using a March-1 Long Rocket; America was on its way to launch its seventh manned mission to the moon, but what would have been another great achievement of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as well as the united states as a whole had become what astronaut James A.
