During the newfound Space Age, the United States and the Soviet Union were committed to a demanding competition to see who made it to the moon first; this was later proclaimed the “space race”. To America’s excitement, on July 20, 1969, American Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. Although, recent polls in the Engineering & Technology British magazine, approximately 25% say they don’t believe anyone has ever landed on the moon. Within the documentary The Truth Behind The…

His impressive career path and his life accomplishments fit the description in both my personal and formal definition of a role model. Armstrong has changed the course of history with one of Neil’s most famous phrases of all, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” This famous saying has made a lot of children in the past and present want to become an astronaut. When…

government shutting down the cricut for a brief minute and the two lines that stuck out the most was when Neil Armstrong said these statements “They’re here under the surface.” and “They’ve landed here. There they are they’re watching us.” After a little more conversation houston control asked if they had deployed special mirrors for testing from earth they had said this in a panicking voice and Neil responded with a bone chilling statement back to houston “Yes, they're in the right place, but…

This again was a to spec model of the landing craft and all surrounding equipment and moon surfaces. The myth goes that a picture of Armstrong was taken with a no flash camera while he was in the shadow of the spacecraft. Controversy has been brought up regarding the picture because Armstrong is still easily seen with the presence of an unknown light source. Another representative light source must have been present to make him visible in photo. Once again,…

“Houston, we have lift off” For thousands of years people have wondered what is beyond our planet in the night sky. Is it just stars? Are there planets outside of our home, Earth? The answer is yes not only are there planets, but moons, stars, galaxies and other solar systems. Thanks to great astronomers such as Galileo, Copernicus , Johannes Kepler, Edwin Hubble and many other great minds we have made these ground-breaking discoveries. Not until the latter half of the 20th century did we…

Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins could not escape the facts that they did not just represent their country. This time they represented the human race (Cole, p.5 & 8). Always a familiar sight in the nighttime sky, the moon took on new meaning on July 16, 1969.
