    It all began with Bill Kaysing who was a writer and best known for being the initiator of the Moon Hoax movement. Kaysing the author of We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle. In the book, Kaysing shows images of the landing and points out its anomalies. He also brings up the theory about area 51 explaining that area 51 has the moon-like landscape that could have been easily used to shoot the mission and nobody would know because area 51 is the most heavily secured place on Earth. He also talks about how technology at the time could not have been used to send someone to the moon. All this conversation about the landings exploded on February 15th when Fox aired a program called Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? Guest Bill Kaysing points out the anomalies about the mission. He brings up many theories including the stars, missing crater, identical background, and crosshair theories. But when the argument went on social media Brian Cox a professor and Buzz Aldrin stepped in and counter argued on twitter. The year 2015 marks the 46th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. Professor Cox described doubters as n*b ends while Buzz asked if the theories were true how come Russia USA's rival expose them. Buzz tweeted "@ProfBiranCox is a pretty smart guy. Also, the…

    Even though his flight was 15.5 minutes, it was one of the most revolutionary moments in America. His ship, Freedom 7, was only fit for one person. Yet after the ship was successful, they were able to make modifications so that it could last in space longer, and so that it would hold more people. With Alan being qualified to be in space, he was able to teach others how to survive and help with training.In 1961, the year of Alan’s first mission, the ships and technology was not as advanced as it is now. So after his mission, Alan helped NASA better their technology for later missions.

    American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin became the first humans ever to land on the moon. About six-and-a-half hours later, Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. As he set took his first step, Armstrong famously said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The Apollo 11 mission occurred eight years after President John Kennedy announced a national goal of landing a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s. There are many who believe that the moon landings were hoaxed by the US government to assert their victory in the space race over Russia. Although…

    His famous words, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!” were heard by over half a billion people and ultimately left a significant mark on the world, even today. Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins were the other two on the Apollo 11 mission with Armstrong. Aldrin was the Lunar Module Pilot, and Collins was the Command Module Pilot. Armstrong and Aldrin planted an American Flag on the moon, collected rocks, took photos, and received a phone call from President Richard Nixon (Rinard 84). Collins never actually touched foot on the moon; however, he separated Columbia, the command module unit, from the Eagle, the lunar module unit (84). Be that as it may, it was President John F. Kennedy’s commitment to the idea that America would advance further than the Soviets in the space race by putting humans on the moon that reclaimed the Apollo Program’s destiny. Kennedy understood the more broad allure of manned spaceflight, and the positive transformation it would have on the U.S. if it was carried out correctly. As his Vice President and successor, Lyndon B. Johnson was a strong believer in the importance of space and its contribution to America’s image in the world just as John F. Kennedy believed (Compton 64). Even before JFK and Johnson, President Dwight D. Eisenhower pushed the program into motion when he signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act in 1958, which granted permission to provide research into flight within and outside the atmosphere. President Richard Nixon was in office at the time of the first manned lunar landing on July 20, 1969 at 10:56 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time when Neil Armstrong descended from the Eagle and set foot on the moon’s surface, actualizing JFK’s…

    Dating all the way back to the early 1960’s a number of conspiracy theories arose including the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This widespread belief caught the attention of sociologists, psychologists, and experts in folklore. Researchers believe one of the most important characteristics of these accounts is their attempt to unveil the real but hidden relations in social groups. Theories like the death of Marilyn Monroe and the first moon landing keep scientists on their toes in discovering new and valuable evidence to support their claims and add on to their research. Additionally, new conspiracy theories help these scientists make additional conclusions in their research of how these new ideas might be making us more creative.…

It was rumored that NASA wouldn’t have risked the public humiliation of astronauts crashing to their deaths on the lunar surface, while being broadcasted on national television. NASA also wanted to get funding; they reportedly raised $30 million to go to the moon. (Facts & Info).…
