The Mission Of Apollo 11

When people think back to the presidency of John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr., many people think of his assassination, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Cold War. Although there is one major event that forever changed the course of the world, that being the mission labeled Apollo 11. This mission was to put men on the moon. In words it may sound simple, but so much had to be put into this mission. They did some amazing experiments while on the moon. It is also the origin of many famous sayings used on a daily basis. Some sayings such as “The Eagle has landed” and Neil Armstrong said, “That 's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” One can not stress enough how much this mission changed the world and how much new technology this mission brought into the grasp of humans. Let alone the boost in moral it give the public within the United States of America that there may be something greater out there other than the Earth.

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

1969 – The Apollo 11 was being watched around the world as it performed the first moon landing. Neil Armstrong was the first human to step on another planet.

Ben Ringer Mr.Whitt College prep Sophomore English 4/22/15 Apollo 11 Apollo 11 was our first mission to the moon, it also was the first time anyone had landed on the moon. An accomplishment like this doesn't just pass by it explodes in the news around the world, and it also brought us new military and technology applications. Apollo 11’s influence extended far past the social aspect and was also present in military, and in capitalism. Within capitalism it brought many new products, ideas into the consumer world.

On the Apollo 11 mission, Neil Armstrong said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” He was the first astronaut to walk on the moon and this event was a significant point in history for space exploration. Now from the success of the Apollo 11 mission, astronauts will travel to Mars during the 2030’s and I want to take part in the excursion to the Red Planet. In the past couple of years, I have been obtaining knowledge about the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the exploration to Mars. Ever since I was younger, I enjoyed spending time at night stargazing with friends and family as well as watching Star Wars, Star Trek, and other science fiction movies. Over the years my fascination for outer space

At the beginning of the 1960s, many Americans believed they were standing at the dawn of a golden age. On January 20, 1961, the handsome and charismatic John F. Kennedy became President of the United States, influencing events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Apollo 11 space mission. Following JFK in his achievements, MLK helped African-Americans gain civil rights by leading nonviolent protests, such as the 1963 March on Washington. New technology, such as the ATM and ARPAnet, seemed new and improved to the public positively, changing their lives. Many people also liked to design and wear new clothing and styles, such as art-type clothing and pop music-inspired clothing. This decade was a time of prosperity. One historian at history.com, remarking on JFK’s confidence, stated, “the government possessed big answers to big problems”; that seemed to set a tone for the rest of the decade.

About fifty-six years ago, on May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy set a goal: Put a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth before the end of the 1960s. What happened next after JFK’s announcement?

One small step and The United States was changed forever, one small step and people started to look up to the sky differently, one giant leap and adventurous space voyages begin. Being the first American spaceflight to land on the moon, Apollo 11 reached its destination on July 20, 1969. Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins had done what people only dreamed of, they gained America great knowledge which fueled research that scientists wouldn't be able to do without their success. Apollo 11 was, and still is, one of the greatest things America has ever achieved because of all the benefits that had been introduced after reaching the moon. How does Apollo 11 equate to one of the biggest steps in human history?

As science has progressed over the years, there have been many forms of exploration and discovery to find the answers we seek. One of the best examples are the Apollo space mission that were done by legendary astronauts and scientists. There have been many individuals over the years that wanted to know what was in space, but scientists now have the technology to experiment machines that can easily answer the questions of the universe we have. An article by Ronald J. White talks about how these missions have been accomplished for more than 40 years and how these events have made advancements on how people are able to travel through space when discovering the worlds that lie beyond our planet. After so many years of research, we have found so

This investigation assesses to what extent the United States’ Apollo 11 moon landing, ensure their victory over the Soviet Union in the Space Race. This investigation will follow the situation that the United States were behind the Soviet Union in the Space Race, hoping to achieve the unachievable by being the first ever to land on the Moon. Because the Soviet Union were the first to launch a satellite into orbit (Sputnik 1), and becoming the first country to send a man into space, the United States’ only way to thrive with victory over the Soviet Union in the Space Race was to send a man to a completely different world: the moon. This investigation will evaluate the Space Race between the United States, and the Soviet Union, and will focus on the turning point of the Race that eventually led to the United States’ victory.

    The aspiration of “Man Takes First Steps on the Moon”, by an unknown author, published in The Times of London is to convey the events of the Apollo 11 mission and to communicate the excitement it spread through the world. “The two astronauts opened the hatch of their lunar module at 3:39 A.M. in preparation for Neil Armstrong’s walk.” The author presents the reader with exact information on what took place on the moon and what the astronauts accomplished. Even though the article describes the events that took place on the moon, back on earth the nations were celebrating. This was a tremendous breakthrough, not only for America, but for the world. All over the world, different political leaders sent laudatory words to the Americans for their achievement in sending men to the moon. The Prime Minister of Britain said, “The first feeling of all in Britain is that this very dangerous part of the mission has been safely accomplished.” President Saragat of Italy said, “May this victory be a good omen for an even greater victory: the definite

According to https://airandspace.si.edu/explore-and-learn/topics/apollo/apollo-program/landing-missions/apollo11.cfmI “It was the first manned mission to land on the moon and the first steps on the moon were taken by astronaut Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on July 16, 1969 at 6:32 A.M.” To explain, on the morning of July 16, 1969 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins prepared themselves for their journey to the moon. Their mission objective was to perform a crewed lunar landing and return to Earth safely. This mission was set by at the time President John F. Kennedy on May 25, 1961.

I chose to research the Apollo mission. NASA didn't want just to go to the moon and come back. They had goals that would help others through this mission. Nasa wanted to establish technology to meet other national interests in space. They wanted to know more about the space and not just about the moon. Through these missions NASA has learned more than all the missions done in the past.Another goal that NASA had was to achieve preeminence in space for the United States. The United States set a standard for space exploration. Another goal was to carry out a program of scientific exploration of the Moon. It means that they are doing this program to learn more about the Moon and about what there is on it. I am so glad to study what NASA has done

I choose for my discovery one of the Apollo space missions. The one mission that I have a keen interest in has been the Apollo 11 Mission. Apollo 11 was one of NASA’s mission to get 12 astronauts in space and to land on the moon. The Mission control team did many of the behind-the-scenes. Many of the team members were young so they were able to bring some new ideas for the program. One mission control engineer gave this quote about the young team, “Space was such a new thing that they were not willing to risk their careers on space, so we were forced to have a relatively young team. By Apollo, we had to bring in young people because the people, who did [the earlier] Gemini [space program] were technical dinosaurs by that time." (Weiss).

On July, 16 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins were aboard Apollo 11 strapped in for their mission is. At 9:32 AM the rocket was launched into the sky. Twelve minutes later the rocket was already in the Earth’s orbit. After being in the Earth’s orbit for over an hour Apollo 11 finally got the “go” to finally make their journey
