Apollo 11 demonstrated what humans are able to do with such ambition. The mission to the moon has left them with determination, precisely the unknown. Humans are always musing, in ways to achieve, upgrade technology, or invent, Apollo 11 has demonstrates this. In the articles they all express pride and triumph. In the news article, “Man Takes First Steps on the Moon” by The Times London, it informs about the mission giving a television broadcasting in which is watched by the headquarters and people’s homes. In the speech by William Safire, “In Event of Moon Disaster” was written in case of the unsuccessful mission to the moon, in which the astronauts wouldn’t be able to come home for the mission failed. In the commentary article by Ayn Rand,
She repeatedly mentions man’s greatness by overcoming fear and launching a rocket sending the first humans on the moon. The speaker attended the Space Center on Cape Kennedy and deeply describes the launch by saying that a large patch of yellow-orange light poured out of the rocket underneath. It seemed to hang still in the air as it took its journey out of Earth. Rand describes the feeling as numbing, “Then I became aware that this was happening in total silence, because I heard the cries of birds winging frantically away from the flames.” Ayn Rand is so amazed at witnessing the biggest moment in time. She clearly demonstrates her emotions, “I found myself waving to the rocket involuntarily, I heard people applauding and joined them, grasping our common motive; it was impossible to watch passively, but more: the feeling that that white object’s unobstructed streak of motion was the only thing that mattered in the universe.” While conveying her incredible feeling she also repeats the idea of man’s greatness in achievement. She is very proud and portrays man’s greatness, “What we had seen, in naked essentials- but in reality, not in a work of art-was the concertized abstraction of man’s greatness.” Rand repeats her idea again saying that what she had seen was a demonstration of man’s greatness and at his best and at the numb state in which it left her and the other visitors couldn’t doubt the
As a result of the successful mission that landed the first men on the moon, called the Apollo 11 mission, many people were inspired to provide commentary on this landing. Although these texts describe unique individual purposes about this landing, they all effectively support their purposes through the use of several rhetorical devices.
The following four texts apart of the Culminating Activity were all related to the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, which had first put a man on the moon. The first article was from the Times of London, and served to describe the events of the moon landing from the astronaut's point of view. The article used anecdotal evidence to describe Aldrin and Armstrong's experience in order to inform the audience of what had occurred, as well as the reactions in several different countries.. The speaker is a from a reputable news source, The Times, and is informing the European audience - as this event was apart of America’s space program, NASA - of the landing as a great success. Although
A turning point in history is when NASA launched Apollo 11. Apollo 11 is a spaceflight that was launched in 1969, and landed the first humans on the moon. Neil Armstrong, one of the spacemen, explained the event as, "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." The reason this was a historical turning point is because the mission represented the dreams and capabilities of the human mind, and led a lasting change on history.
The assimilation of human feeling with nature impacted the writings of Edna St. Vincent Millay throughout the entirety of her career. At an early age, on the coast of Maine, Millay had a quasi-religious experience while nearly drowning, that when written down ten years later became the foundation of one of her most staggering works, “Renascence.” The way in which Millay confronts and interacts with nature, namely the sky, is unnerving, raw, and beautiful. She transcends time and is enabled to take part in an empathetic experience with the entirety of what she perceives around her. This poem serves as a precursor to later poems that deal with the human and its counterpart in existence, nature. Over the course of her work, Millay was constantly reconfiguring her notion of God, humanity, and nature and how they were interrelated. This examination and understanding of a oneness with things is the theme found throughout her writing. In addition to “Renascence”, it is found in “Spring” as well as “Epitaph for the Race of Man.” The constant it seems is her communion with that around her in the natural world. Her offerings of interpretations and meditations on the earthly goods of nature and humanity showcase a pantheistic view of the world, in which everything equals God.
America went to the moon in the 1960’s, during a time of war, a time that was so far behind in technology compared to now, but yet human beings went to the moon . Human beings are capable of many wonderful things and their potential has no limits, except for the limits that are placed by government and society. Neil deGrasse Tyson attempted to liberate NASA from the limits of low funding by giving a speech to the U.S Senate. Tyson used emotion and logical thinking to make the complexity of NASA as relatable to the audience as possible, and by doing so he wanted to convey to them how important NASA is in our society today and the future of the human kind.
Though people can look into color and composition, others can still even look into the source of the art itself. Cole goes deeper, delving into the source of the art, looking in particular into the idea of cultural appropriation and the view a person can give others. Though it is good for people to be exposed to different opinions of a group or an object, sometimes people can find it difficult to tell the difference between the reality and the art itself. Sometimes art can be so powerful that its message stays and impacts its audience to the point where the viewer’s image of the subject of the art changes entirely. Cole brings up an important question about art, however. Art has become some kind of media for spreading awareness and even wisdom at times, but in reality, “there is also the question of what the photograph is for, what role it plays within the economic circulation of images” (973). Cole might even be implying that Nussbaum’s advertisement can sometimes be the point of some media, and that sometimes the different genres of art can just be to make someone with a particular interest happy. One more point that Cole makes is that “[a]rt is always difficult, but it is especially difficult when it comes to telling other people’s stories.” (974) Truthfully, awareness and other like-concepts are difficult to keep going when a person or a group is not directly involved.
Bill Anders, Jim Lovell and Frank Bormann will possibly never be recognized as great theologians, yet their extraordinary act, demonstrated a profound validation of how our vocations can glorify God. In 1969, the Apollo 8 Mission was the most watched television broadcast, these three astronauts, read in turn from the Book of Genesis as they orbited the moon. Bill Anders began, "We are now approaching lunar sunrise, and for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you. ‘In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.’” Each astronaut then continued through the story of creation finishing the broadcast with “and God saw that it was good.”
She is expressing how extravagant her work is. No other woman could create such a pyramid that was so unique. African American woman have this uniqueness that no one else is blessed with. Giovanni use of imagery strengthens the reader’s view of the surreal world that she created in this
[REVISE] The success of Apollo 11 which included the historic presence of the first humans on the moon signified the greatest extent of human intellectual advancement. Various circumstances were undertaken throughout the effort in success that established the United States’ superiority in terms of scientific and military progress.
The speaker of the special 5am edition “Man Takes the First Steps on the Moon,” article is the Times of London. The Times of London describes the Apollo 11 mission that took place in 1969 by Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The purpose of the article of the Times of London is to analyze and summarize the precautionary steps and importance of the 1969 Apollo 11 space mission. The Times conveys a benevolent tone in order to keep the interests of the audience high, which is all of humanity all over the world, and also to show how significant and astonishing the mission was. The mission marked a consign to oblivion for all of humanity. The Times automatically establishes ethos since they are the newspaper for London. The Times also establishes
The goal of Apollo 11 was stated very simply. Perform manned lunar landing and return mission safely. Simply stated, but almost impossible to achieve, it was the mission NASA had been preparing for almost a decade, and nobody was trying to pretend this was just another launch.
When first approaching this work, one feels immediately attracted to its sense of wonder and awe. The bright colors used in the sun draws a viewer in, but the astonishment, fascination, and emotion depicted in the expression on the young woman keeps them intrigued in the painting. It reaches out to those who have worked hard in their life and who look forward to a better future. Even a small event such as a song of a lark gives them hope that there will be a better tomorrow, a thought that can be seen though the countenance by this girl. Although just a collection of oils on a canvas, she is someone who reaches out to people and inspires them to appreciate the small things that, even if only for a short moment, can make the road ahead seem brighter.

Growing up it seems every child has a dream at some point to be an astronaut. These children look up every night and see the moon looking back. They want to fly up and explore they lunar surface. This dream would eventually come true for a select group of American astronauts. The dream was not as easy as a grade school child thinks it should be. The United States’ adventure to the moon would come during a chaotic time in human history, the Cold War. The Cold War was a terrifying time for American citizens. Threats of war and nuclear action ran rampant throughout the country and world. A major component to this time frame was space—specifically the race to the moon between The United States and the Soviet Union. President of the United States,
...erful for social objectives. Technology, especially in aerospace engineering and electronic communication, advanced greatly during this period. Today over a thousand artificial satellites orbit earth, relaying communications data around the planet and facilitating remote sensing of data. The moon landing stood for a symbol of the insatiable curiosity of all mankind to explore the unknown. To win the Space Race we had to be the first to land a man on the moon and for that moment in the tumultuous 60’s, our country came together in celebration and pride. The citizens of the U.S made the journey possible; through their contributions to the space effort, or even if they just supported the effort they were helping the cause. John F. Kennedy requested, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” We responded, we prevailed, we triumphed.
