Samuel C. Armstrong

Initial Goals: My initial goals for the program was to take in an equation like 5*(4/3+2^(3-1)) and return the answer to it (26.666667 in this case).

The program would follow the order of operations and begin with the contents of innermost parentheses and replace that portion of the input with the answer before…

Hundreds of children talking all at once, that’s what morning at Illini Elementary School sounded like. And there I sat having no one to talk to. Until one day a new girl came through the school doors. She was as tall as a giant and had short black box braids. This girl sat down by all the other children in my grade. So many thoughts were going through my head at once I didn’t know what to do. I was so nervous to talk to her that I almost threw up! I didn’t want her to reject me like the other…

achieving a lunar landing. Both the Mercury and Gemini programs proved to NASA that a manned lunar mission was in fact possible. Finally, in 1969, the time had come for Apollo 11 to make its journey to the moon. “On July 21, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface to become the first person in history to set foot on another world” (Robin McKie). Millions were watching the broadcast from the moon as he took his first steps. The world, for a single moment, was united. Not…

carried three people, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin. The objective of the mission was to land on the moon and then return to earth. This spaceflight was seeking exploration and that is exactly what America did. There were many complications involved to landing on the moon, but that did not stop the desire to explore. Although many artifacts can be found from exploration,…

successful. Confetti, American flags amongst other things lined the streets of New York as the Tickertape parade was processed down the streets, with the astronauts leading the way. Rolling past Wall Street, the Empire State building and other monuments. Armstrong and Aldrin had gotten the ball rolling as the country was indulged into everything space related. All things from shuttle toys to astronaut food were the craze and the must have. As NASA’s popularity grew the American people wanted to…

several times because that’s what the people will do after the loss of “heroes”. If the President mentions it, it is because he is respected and can convince anybody to mourn the deaths of what would have come of a space disaster and deaths of Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. In the speech, it also states, “These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.” This is showing people that these two men should be recognized for attempting…

Ready for Blastoff Curiosity constantly leads me to new adventures and memories, and combined with my passions, it eventually led me to Chabot Space and Science Center. Driving up the windy hills and past the redwood trees for my first field trip in fourth grade, the magnificent sight of grand telescopes overwhelmed me once my class arrived at Chabot. At each exhibit, I felt like an explorer in space where I could do anything from walking on the moon to discovering another planet with life. As…
