First Moon Landing In 1969
The first moon landing in 1969 was one of the many historical events that left a question mark in the minds of people. It was also one of the most remarkable and significant events of world history. 1967 was one of the most brutal and bitter years for the Americans. The war in Vietnam up to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, the American citizen, began to lose hope for their nation. Lyndon B. John’s elections were prevented with the activist riot in Chicago. America and the citizens of this country were full of distress, and social unrest. In 1969, the broadcast of Neil Armstrong landing safely on the mood had given the American’s hope and that it could rise back up to being the superior power.
During his first appearance, Neil

Looking at all the different articles I couldn't find anything different, all wrote about the same thing. There are many things said about the landing both positively and negatively. Before writing and researching for the paper, I knew very little about Neil Armstrong and his launching. The research paper also allowed being to find out up about the smallest details of the launching. Another important thing is that I found interesting people that witnessed the launching in today’s society are in their 50s-60s. They watched the launch on television; many people believe the whole launch was a conspiracy and was a scenario played by the United States so that they could get their reputation back. Before I had never thought about the landing and if it was a conspiracy theory or if it was accurate but after this paper, I also have some questions about the launching. Rather written evidence there were mostly pictures about the launching. The articles all wrote about how important and honorable event it was. While one article I read was from the Russian point of view and it stated that the reason why the United states made up of this lie is to protect its nation from falling. After Russia launched Sputnik, the United States needed to come up with a better plan to keep them at power. I do not believe that the moon landing was real mainly because the picture that was taken in space in one of them Armstrong is walking on the moon. How could one walk at zero gravity aren’t they supposed to be floating. Another picture that caught my attention was the flag that was put on the moon the flag was waving as if they were air. Finally, as the Russian newspaper had written, very interestingly the footage got erased at NASA. A remarkable event for humanity was not protected and disappeared, and no one knows

    Not only was the mission a landmark in science and technology, but American pride. Neil Armstrong’s famous quote, “one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind” has since been engraved into the American vernacular as a symbol of American ingenuity and achievement. The American flag placed on the moon was the nail in the coffin of the Soviet’s effort to make it there first. The moon had been claimed not only by the United States, but also by democracy itself.…

    It has been 400 years since this time capsule was hidden for future generations to find; when I examine the first item it appears to be a news broadcast telling about the first man to ever step onto the moon. After some effort I find a machine that is capable of replaying this image and voice recording. The following is my personal account and reflections. Mr. Walter Cronkite is a news commentator who is witnessing the events that are unfolding as the United States makes an attempt to land a craft on the moon and have astronauts physically walk on the moon’s surface for the very first time. Mr. Cronkite is very nervous and excited about what is happening as he watches the first images being broadcast from the moon to the earth. You can hear from his voice and tone that he is very proud of this accomplishment. Other American’s are interviewed as…

    Many proofs of the landing have been released to the public. For example, there is one piece of evidence that is impossible to have been from Earth. A .6mm glass spherule produced by a meteorite impacting onto the lunar soil. Dr. Marc Norman explains, "We've found a particle of fresh glass in moon rocks that were produced by explosive volcanic activity and by meteorite impacts over 3 billion years ago." In basic terms, this specific particle could have only been produced on the moon here on Earth water rapidly breaks down such volcanic glass in only a few million years. Which leads theorists to question themselves if it really indeed happened. But an open investigation is supported by people overseas too. Vladimir Markin, the spokesman for Russia's investigative Committee, penned a column for the Russian newspaper Izvestia focusing on the US FIFA corruption investigations. The list of investigations included the Apollo mission that everyone is debating about. Markin Cites the loss of the original Apollo 11 moon landing video and the “disappearance” of 400 kilograms of lunar rocks collected during Apollo missions. How can 400 kilograms of lunar rocks just disappear lunar rocks are not things you just…

    To begin, some people think the moon landings were faked because because of a moon rock in one of the shots. The rock appeared to have the letter “C” on it. This rock made people think that the rock could have been a prop. There are more logical reasons for this. For instance, someone might see a rock on the ground and it might look like it has a face or a letter in because of the way it formed, The moon rock could have just appeared to have a letter in it because of a small indent in it. Therefore proving that the rock was most likely not a prop.…

    I decided to do research about the Apollo missions and came across an article that talked about the discovery of water on the moon. In 2009, India's Chandrayaan-1 probe and two NASA spacecraft found water clinging to much of the lunar surface, which surprised many scientists. Many questions were asked after this discovery was made. Where else is there water on the moon? Did any of the other 380 kilograms of samples from the Apollo missions have clues of water that were overlooked? Where did the water come from? The significance of this discovery was that new theories about how there came to be water on the moon were conceived (comets, Mars-sized planet that collided with the Earth to make the moon). The discoverers relied on the work of others…

    The 1960’s dealt with many instances of tragedy, but also brought about great technological and social advancements. The assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Civil Rights Movement, Cold War and the Vietnam War were all pivotal moments that contributed to define a tumultuous decade preceding Neil Armstrong’s walk on the Moon in 1969. The success of sending two men to walk across the land of another celestial body was more than a large scale science experiment for the United States- it was an affirmation of American ingenuity, it boosted national morale in an uneasy time, and ended the decade on an uplifted note. This work seeks to examine Neil Armstrong’s walk on the Moon, most specifically,…

    Only few days after Woodstock was the landing of Apollo 11 on the moon, this was of course went down as one of the most victorious days in American history, and a couple days prior to that was the murders of the Manson family. It is easily said that landing on the moon was one of the greatest accomplishments for America. This event is right at the top of the list with events such as The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Obama becoming presedent in 2009, and the Emancipation proclamation of 1863.
