Sun Myung Moon

believe that accomplishments are not reached in space, so why should the government waste money on it? However, I believe there is not enough financial aid given to the space related companies for them to prove themselves, even if they have landed on the moon, six times. In a chart from a 2006 estimate on how each federal dollar is spent, space and technology is stuck with an "All Others" category with only six pennies out of each federal dollar to work with. These six pennies are also shared…

gained quiet a bit. To completely understand just exactly what we had gained and would gain we must understand the circumstances behind the whole mission. The Apollo missions were a series of mission with the end goal mission to land humans on the Moon and then safely return them back to Earth. There were six lunar missions in total: Apollo 8, Apollo 10, Apollo 11, Apollo 12, Apollo 13, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo…

At 12:33am EST on 7 December 1972, the final manned lunar mission, Apollo 17, launched from launch pad 39-A at the Kennedy Space Center using a Saturn V rocket. Being a J-Series Apollo mission, it lasted 12 days, 13 hours, 51 minutes and 59 seconds with Commander Eugene Cernan, Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans, and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt. The landing site Taurus-Littrow highlands and valley area was chosen due to the suspected presence of rocks both older and newer (due to…

Shifting its weight from side to side, the sugar-covered Northern gannet holds its short wings aloft, preparing to jump from a rugged boulder. After a careful scope of the diamond-crusted sea below, the white adventurer tenses before leaping from the mossy cliff. Briefly the gannet plunges--flapping its wings determinately until the stiff breeze lifts its stout form above the salty ocean spray. Swiftly rising through the clear air, the Northern gannet angles its broad, unmoving wings like a…

On July 16, 1969, an unforgettable and historical event occurred. This was a time of significance and overwhelming achievement for mankind. Neil Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the moon, along with the help of his colleague Edwin Aldrin. Both of these men are widely recognized for their brave and courageous act. With all the complications and challenges they might’ve gone through, people supported them every step of the way thanks to Times of London for publishing an article…

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,…

Apollo 11 was the space flight that landed the first humans on the moon. Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first astronauts involved. Mr Armstrong was the first to step onto the MOON the 21st of July at 2:56 UTC. They collected 21.5 kg of lunar material to take back to earth. There was also another astronaut called Michael Collins who piloted the command spacecraft by himself until Armstrong and Aldrin returned a day later to go back to earth. These were the first astronauts to…

a personification in the story would be when the author, Joy Harjo, says "Remember the moon, know who she is. I met her in a bar once in Iowa City." The reason it’s a personification is because they are talking about the moon as if she was a girl that someone met at a bar and a personification is when they talk about a person or personal feeling is used as a thing or an idea and in the story she uses the moon as a lady. Those are two of the many figurative languages in the…

Moon: Theia Impact or “Big Splash” Theory: When in Earth was still in a molten state, an impactor (Theia) collided with the still forming Earth. Debris and magma that separated from the original body is believed to have congregated and formed into our moon, remaining in its “parent’s” orbit. (Most Plausible Explanation) Fission Theory: Chunk of magma separated from Earth in early formation stages. Pacific ocean basin is said to be where material was removed. Capture Theory: The moon was formed…

space was well as walking on the moon is unfathomable. All of the time spent on achieving a goal that previous generation astronomers deemed impossible baffles my mind. The dedication to reach the moon before our neighbors across the pond not only is an engineering achieve but also an achievement in nationalism. We Americans were determined to reach the mon before the USSR, and that we did in 1969 when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to walk on the Moon. Defeating the USSR as…
