John Herschel Glenn Jr.'s Historical Flight

In 1986, Nelson became the second member of Congress to travel into space. He was a Payload Specialist on 's STS-61-C mission from January 12 to 18, 1986. Columbia landed at Edwards AFB at 5:59 a.m. PST, on January 18. Mission elapsed time was 6 days, 2 hours, 3 minutes, 51 seconds. It was the last successful Space Shuttle flight before the Challenger.

During the time the legislatures discussed and altered the amendment, J.F.K. was assassinated, John Glen became the first American to travel through outer space, he orbited Earth three times before

She had to calculate the path and speed Alan Shepherd had to go in order to reach space. On May of 1961, just one month after the Russians sent their first man in space, Alan Shepard went up to space. Now, our second mission is to send someone to orbit Earth.

On May 20th (and 21st), 1927 an American aviator challenged himself to daringly cross the Atlantic Ocean in one single flight. The aviator, Charles Lindbergh, flew from Roosevelt Field in New York City to Le Bourget Field in Paris. The flight, estimated to be 3,600 miles, took thirty-three and a half hours. Lindbergh succeeded and became the very first man to fly nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean. Charles Lindbergh and his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, went down in US history. However, only five years later, a catastrophic

There are many important accomlisments that have happened over the last 100 years such as Neil Armstrong landing on the Moon, Jonas Salk creating the Polio Vaccine etc. I believe one of the more overlooked accomplishments the last 100 years is Charles Lindbergh flying the first nonstop flight from New York to Paris in 1927. Lindbergh was in the air for about 33 hours. This tells you how transportation had evolved from the last 20 years prior with Wilbur and Orville Wright flying the first plane in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. John Ward wrote a great piece on the impact of Charles Lindbergh Flight in 1927.

On May 25, 1961 President John F. Kennedy paved the way for the world’s first lunar landing when he announced the US’s ambitious goal to place an American on the moon before the end of the decade. This historic announcement was fueled by desires to beat the Soviet Union, and show the United State’s dominance, the need for a uniting cause among the American people, and a desire to lead the world in the scientific field.

Have you ever thought about what you're doing when you're riding a boat or a plain, just stop and think who's idle was it to slap a big piece of wood in the ocean for an extended period of time with only enough food to last you a few months or whose ideal it was to try and send a metal bird construct through the air with people in, well after a little research and inquiry i've found out how why and when, if your interested don't stop reading here keep going.

In 1961, the United States of America was embroiled in the Cold War with the Soviet Union. This confrontation was taking place not only on land, sea and air, but in space as well. On May 25th, 1961 recently elected US President John F. Kennedy addressed a joint session of Congress, during which he outlined his now famous Man on the Moon challenge. It was through this ambitious dream that the creation of the National Aeronautical Space Administration (NASA) came about, which President Kennedy challenged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Although he didn't live to see the achievement of his dreams, the United States successfully landed Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the moon on July 20, 1969 and

My fascination with presidents grew. At the age of six, when I watched on television as John Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth, I was struck when one of the commentators said that Glenn was putting his life

They both wanted to make satellites that could orbit the Earth. The Soviet Union launched the first orbiting satellite, Sputnik 1 in 1957. A year later The U.S. launched their first satellite, Explorer 1. In 1961, the first man who orbited the earth was from the Soviet Union Yuri Gagarin. The next year John Glenn a U.S. native John Glenn orbited the Earth.

Donald Gaskin may be one of America’s most notorious serial killers, possibly killing over fifty men, women, and children, but the courts only convicted him of eight murders. One might say how could he get away with so many murders? The answer is multifarious, and as Fox and Levin dictated in Extreme Killing “It is difficult to gauge the full extent of serial homicides. Because of complexities in linking murders committed by the same perpetrator but at different times and even places, no precise estimate of a serial killer is even possible” (Fox & Levin, 2005). Forensic psychologists attempt to catch serial killers by profiling them based on the crime scene and the killer’s childhood, yet Gaskins was not a typical serial killer because his motives to kill altered from profit to sadistic thrills. Customers often paid him to kill their cheating spouse, enemy, or even parent, making it a full-time profession for Gaskins, but he often killed for the sadistic thrills and power due to his terrible childhood.

The trip around the world continued the “space race” between countries. There were other trips into space later on. One of the major space trips years after Glenn was the “man on the moon.” On July twentieth, nineteen sixty-nine, Neil Armstrong, an American astronaut was the first man to walk on the moon. His famous words are “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Space journeys continued the years following the “man on the moon.” Machines are used to record space by taking pictures in order to obtain more information concerning space.

When asked what some of the joys in his life were, the very first thing that Abe mentioned was his children and grandchildren. Any time that Abe is able to spend time with his grandchildren is a “joyous occasion.” He is very thankful to his family, mother, and father for showing him at a young age how important family is. Abe is also grateful for the privileges he had as a child, and the experiences he was able to enjoy. Another joy in his life is all of the adventures he has been a part of.

In 1961, Dwight D. Eisenhower ends the severs diplomatic relations with the country of Cuba, as well as closing the U.S. embassy in Havana. The man Yuri Gagarin became the first human being in space to orbit the earth when the rocket Vostok 1 was successfully launched by the Soviet Union. An invasion of Cuba by counter-revolutionaries which was also backed by the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), ended in failure. This year president Kennedy went to meet President Khrushchev in Vienna.
