Moon landing

early 1970s, Project Apollo sought out to explore the moon. Apollo 11 achieved this goal when Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon and said, "That's one small step for a man. One giant leap for mankind." Landing on the moon was a major milestone for “mankind,” but was not the only goal of Apollo. New spacecrafts were invented such as the command module, the service module, and the lunar module. Procedures for getting to the moon and exploring its surface were created or improved…

lighting that the multiple light sources captured on the moon must have been impossible and only doable with the usage of the use of external lighting. Believing that an entire camera set was brought to the moon to take pictures is quite ludicrous, leading to the only logical reasoning for theorists that all photos from the mission are fraud. One of the more famously debated “faked” photographs depicts unparalleled shadows from the moon surface rocks and the lunar lander indicating that…

famous astronaut that explored the moon. Neil Armstrong was born on August 5, 1930. Neil loved to fly at a young age. His first plane ride was when he was six. Neil loved planes and wanted to give flying a try. His dad took him to an airshow when he was a kid. After the airshow Neil wanted to be pilot. When Neil was old enough he took flight lessons. What started the apollo 11 mission. The USA wanted to do experiments on moon rocks. The reason we wanted to go the moon was to show the world we…

the moon “not because it is easy, but because it is hard” (Engle). Less than a decade later, on July 20th, 1969 at 20:17:40 UTC, the Apollo 13 mission put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon (“Theories”). Ever since that day the people have doubted the fact that we ever put people on the moon. An opinion poll found six percent of American believed the U.S. did not go to the moon, with it jumping to 20% after Fox released the 2001 documentary: Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?…

the 1969 Apollo 11 mission was one of mankind’s most ebullient moments in history. First we have The Times of London, with its article Man Takes First Steps on the Moon. The times is a highly recognized newspaper from all over the world. No wonder people believe its credibility. Next is William Safire’s speech called In Event of Moon Disaster that would’ve been given by President Nixon in an event of a failed launch, furthermore is a commentary written by a novelist with the name of Ayn Rand,…

Space exploration was not possible until the early 1960’s. Our moon has been orbiting our planet for billions of years and it was not until almost fifty years ago that humans developed the technology and skill to explore it. Even though many astronauts have taken on brave missions, Neil Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon and accomplished what no other person could do because he was brave, able to handle extreme situations, highly trained, and experienced with air and…

Moon exploration could be all but marveled until October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union did the impossible and launched Sputnik 1 to orbit Earth, this was a huge success. Sputnik 1 was a small, nearly useless satellite, but it had started the Space Race, and one of the biggest leaps for humanity. We have been nearly oblivious to what has happened in the space race, including why the race to the moon became big and fast at that, what other smaller successes were, and what the Apollo program was…

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 on the moon, but helped future missions with its testing. Apollo…

“That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The famous words of the first man to take a step on the moon, Neil Armstrong, rocked the nation in 1969. Prior to the first human landing on the moon, the morale in the United States was depleted. In the early 1960’s, the people of the United States were coping with the Vietnam War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and civil rights for African Americans. Americans also felt uneasy about the ongoing Cold War with the Soviet Union and feared…

Apollo 8 is the first manned flight around the moon. The Apollo 8 was launched on December 21, 1968 at 6:31 a.m. from Cape Kennedy. Besides being the first to orbit the moon, NASA had a bigger objective. They wanted to test the equipment, trajectory, and operations. This was being tested to simplify the system and procedures for future launches. Also, Apollo 8 demonstrated translunar injection. Three astronauts were sent up, Frank Borman, James Lovell Jr., and William Andres. Within the 6 days…
