The Space Race is defined as the time period where the Soviet Union and the United States were fighting to see who could get man up into space first. Both nations also had their…

In the aspect of identifying decision criteria, the members of the Apollo 13 mission had to do the same.

Swigert was supposed to be the pilot of the spacecraft, as…

Introduction: It all started from a dream of John F. Kennedy in 1962. His dream was to put a person on the moon. He called it eponymous moonshot. At that time, Kennedy’s dream seemed impossible, but everything great starts from a great belief. Astro Teller, a captain of The Moonshot factory, and Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, are followers of Kennedy’s dream. In 2007, they opened a subsidiary «Google X» to boost innovations. After October 2015, X operated under Alphabet Inc. X…

“All three pilots died during the flights, and their names were never officially published,” (Rudenko). Many people think that space is a place that is filled with adventures and new beginnings, but that was not the case for three cosmonauts. People have failed to notice, however, that there are people who spent months in a metal tub and never got the recognition of going to space. Once people understand the Lost Cosmonauts Theory, they will start to see that The Soviet Union left three people…

Birth Order Did you know that there has never been a United States president that has been born an only child? Did you know that the first 21 of 23 astronauts in space have been firstborns in their families and the other 2 astronauts were only children? This occurs because of birth order.

Michael Collins. Since that very day, there have been countless debates on if the moon landing actually happened or it was just a hoax put on by the United States to beat the Soviet Union to the moon in the Space Race.

The history of earth is hard to imagine without our moon. The moon has had an impact on the earth in many different ways. For as long as man walked this earth, the moon has affected the tides and even the metals of the earth. The phases of the moon are still used to help guide the harvest, and even help determine the time of the river floods. The moon is a place that we know little about and very few people are lucky enough to get to experience it in person. Some interesting facts that we know…

the best. In order to make sure we landed on the moon first we filmed it. NASA basically did it to show the Soviet that they have to beware of the United States. The United States will do anything to keep our country shining. The moon landing, Apollo 11, in 1969 was a hoax. Many facts like the waving flag, multiple light sources and lack of stars prove that it is all fake. Many people can debate this forever and maybe the mystery will never be solved. The facts do lead to what the most likely…
