to return to the moon? It’s been over 50 years, and we still haven’t returned. What’s the reason for the delay? Well, there are several reasons why, some of which are funding, technology, and how dangerous a task it is. These reasons may be why it’s taking so long for men to return to the moon. Here is some information about these reasonings: At this rate, money is one of the main things you need to survive in this society. Just like any other government mission, going to the moon would take a lot
Moon Landings Real or Fake? Many people believe that in 1969, the US was the first country to send a man to the moon. NASA was the organization that supposedly sent a man to the moon. The US was in a race against the Soviet Union. They were in a race because they each were trying to prove that one country was better than the other. The competition they were in was the race of who could be the first country to ever put a man on the moon. John F. Kennedy started the moon program. In one of his speeches
light until finally you’ve made contact. You make your way to the front of the ship and open the door. A vastly endless white landscape is laid out before you. It’s the moon. You climb down the ladder and step into the dust, knowing that the whole world is watching you right now. Exhilarating right? Well, this actually happened back in 1969, and it was the beginning of a new era of space exploration, which is part of why we know so much about outer space today! At that time, there was a large amount
mankind,” is one of the most recognized quotes by Neil Armstrong as he was taking the first human steps on the moon. But was he actually on the moon? Some would say that on July 20, 1969, man did not make it to the moon and Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin never touched the lunar surface of the moon. The explanation is that the government faked the landing and moon walk somehow. Why fake the moon landing though? This was a momentous time in American history and it could be a lie. If it is a lie there
Moon Shadow is a young boy that wonders all the time about the Land of the Golden Mountain. A few months before he was born, his father went there to work. Never in his life has he seen his father before and he dreams of how he looks like because his mother and grandmother talk about him. Moon Shadow always asks questions about him and the “demons”. The demons lynched his grandfather and his mother and grandmother are worried the same thing will happen to his father. One day, Handclap came to deliver
Moon Landings People are still arguing if the moon landing in 1969 was real or faked by the United States Of America. Some people think it was faked and if they are true this would be very embarrassing to America and NASA. Some think it was real because of some of the evidence they brought back supposedly from the moon's surface but this is my opinion. I think the moon in landing in 1969 was real because of the rocks they got from the moon's surface and also because with a satellite image of the
” I say as I step out from Eagle, our lunar module, and place my foot on the powdery and silver moon. It’s 10:56 p.m. and the whole world is watching me. I’ve never thought this moment in my life would be so important to the world. Four days ago, Apollo 11 took off from Kennedy Space Center. My crew, Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin and Michael Collins, and I were sent into space by NASA to complete the moon landing mission. I remember arriving at the Space Center and saw so many workers here and there.
important events that made history was the Apollo program accomplishing the landing of the first human being to step on the Moon. When the Apollo was first declared in 1961, only two human beings had already been in space. Beginning the mission to the moon, scientist had to construct a rocket ship powerful enough to travel to the moon, and a spacecraft that could return back to earth. The rocket that was constructed for this mission was called the Saturn V rocket. With 13 successful launches, the
Armstrong when he took his first steps on the moon at 10:56 P.m, July 20th, 1969, and officially became the first man to walk on the moon. Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin Jr. soon joined his commander 15 minutes later and became the second man to walk on the moon. Together they documented their journey by taking photos of the landscape, taking samples of rocks and planting the american flag on the hard soil of the moon. ‘But I’m getting ahead of myself, let’s back a little...’ -Presentation It all starts in
is what the Chinese people call China. Moon Shadow is afraid of the demons, which is what they call Americans. Moon Shadow is afraid of demons because his mother told him about how the demons lynched his grandfather. Moon Shadow’s mother doesn’t like to answer his questions about America. The Tang people refer America as the Land of the Golden Mountain. Moon Shadow has never met his father and the people in the village call him a maker of marvelous kites. Moon Shadow gets to finally go to America because
with conclusive physical evidence, the existence of the moon. This reward still remains unclaimed ("The Moon-The Real Truth"). After all, how does one know for sure the moon even exists? Even if it does exist, how does one prove it? That's what NASA set out to do in the late 1960's. On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong planted the first human footprints in the lunar soil. The United States had accomplished their goal in sending men to the moon. They managed to not only send them 238,857 mi. (384,403
In, 1969 the U.S. sent Apollo 11 the the Moon but, did that actually happen? There are some people that do believe that we did land on the Moon but other people don’t believe that we actually did. So do you think that we could have gone to the Moon? I believe that the Moon landings are real because if they were fake then all the 400,000 people working on the project would have to lie and that is not possible. Also the japanese took pictures of the moon and they could see the imprints from where
walked on the moon, and brought him back alive. Unfortunately in 2011 NASA had to close its doors on the Space Shuttle Program due to the lack of interest from the people, overly expensive maintenance costs, and the age of the fleet. This does not mean we cannot forget about NASA completely due to the loss of the shuttle program, they still have accomplished more than most companies could ever dream of accomplishing. The largest accomplishment I believe NASA had was the first man on the moon with the
landing on the moon. Interviewing the administrator of the Apollo mission General Samuel C. Phillips, Abramson reported that the director believed that the men at mission control made the landing possible. Closing the article Abramson writes that while the lander’s alarms flashed once if they were to of continued mission control would have ordered the astronauts to cancel the landing. Wilford’s article explains how Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins began orbiting the moon for their landing
events, including the moon landings.The moon landings caused the creation of countless theories on how the U.S. Government faked them on a Hollywood soundstage. In fact, 7% of Americans believe that the moon landings were a hoax. That is more people than the population of New York State. Some of the theories about the moon landings make sense, which is a valid reason for so many people to believe them, but, they all have a fatal flaw. Conspiracy theories trying to disprove the moon landings need to end
"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard" (Kennedy). When John F. Kennedy said these famous words, he set the stage for one of the greatest accomplishments the United States of America has ever made. Over the course of that decade, the space race would be in full swing; a universal goal would unite the nation to achieve the dream of sending a man to the moon and safely back to earth. Through human determination, the
Moon Shadow resided a simple life in the Middle Kingdom (China) with his mom and grandma. They live peacefully for seven years, until a cousin, Handclap came with a letter from Moon Shadow’s father, a man he never met. Moon Shadow decided to go and sets on a year long journey to meet his dad. He knew very little about his father. His mother would say she had to do something else to talk about him. One thing she did say was that his father was a great kite maker.When Moon Shadow arrived he got acquainted
The colonization of the moon is the first step for humankind to become and interplanetary species. It is the only logical choice, becauseof its close proximity to Earth. There will be many advantages if the colonization of the moon is success. The colonization will consist of three mission, each bringingmore humans to work in and support the base. The first mission will carry twenty-five people and will install the basic necessities. The first components to be installed would be the power plants
man landed on the moon for the first time and almost forty years later, man has not been on the moon since. Now the question is posed, should man make an effort to go back to the moon to discover new things with our new technology and verify what we have discovered since our absence? Or, is it not worth it, and is it just a waste of money. With NASA wanting to go to the moon in 2020, an answer needs to be given. It does not appear to be worth sending a manned mission to the moon in the near future
On July 16, 1969 we sent a man to the moon. And on July 21, 1969 he landed. President Kennedy had posted the challenge that before the decade was up, we would have put a man on the moon. But did we really? Many believe we didn’t. For some people it is just too ridiculous of a thought that we flew someone out of earth’s atmosphere and sent them to the moon. In 1974 a writer named Bill Kaysing wrote a book called “We never went to the moon: America’s Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle”. Kaysing self-published
