Apollo 11 launched on July 16, 1969. This mission was completed on July 20. Apollo 11 was the first attempted and completed lunar landing. The spacecraft was carrying Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. The objective for these astronauts was to bring moon surface material and bring it back to Earth. Neil Armstrong became the first person to step foot on the moon. As Neil said, it was, “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” (The Space Race). 20 minutes after Neil stepped onto the moon, Edwin Aldrin became the second man on the moon. Spacecraft was in orbit for a total of 8 days, 3 hours, 18 min, 35 seconds. The spacecraft also traveled a total of 953,054 miles. The United States sprung ahead of the Soviet Union and won the space
In the movie I Robot they're in a future where robots help with everything in day to day life. But one police officer (Will Smith) doesn't trust the robots and thinks they've become too untrustworthy. He soon finds himself to be right. They took over society and started killing humans. But back in the 1960's that thought didn't even cross people's minds. In the 60's technology was affected by The Space race.
On July 20, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the moon: or perhaps not. That is what some people think. They believe the "Moon Landings" were faked, in order to cheat the public out of billions of dollars and so that we could win the space race against the Soviet Union. According to conspiracy theorists, the scientists at N.A.S.A. realized during the Apollo missions that either is was technically impossible to reach the Moon ir that it cost too much. So, the government built a secret movie studio somewhere in the southwest and used special effects to pretend that the astronauts had landed on the Moon. Then, the "historic event" was sent through television to the entire world who, for the most part, believed it.
Do you think aliens are real? Yes, many people think they are just some made up theory, but In think they are wrong. I think aliens are real and lots of other people agree and they have proof by taking pictures and videos. Also the army found proof and kept it hidden from the world. The army found a UFO crash and on a mountain but they got rid of it, so people wouldn't find it and put it on the news. Lots of people have seen and taken pictures and put it on line and make stories about them so people can see them.
In 1969, all of America watched as NASA sent the first manned ship into space and to the moon. Hundreds of people gathered around the launch station and thousands watched the live broadcasting on the news. As the countdown reached 0, the rocket with Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldron and Tim Collins flew to space and America gave a sigh of relief. Now it was time to watch as Neil Armstrong took the first steps on the moon to plant the American flag on the moon symbolizing our victory in the notorious “Space Race” with the Soviet Union. It was a great day for America as we won the “Space Race” and got safely to the moon, but not everyone was happy. In this essay, I will be talking about why some conspiracy theorists think that the historical moon landing of 1969 was staged and why I still believe that it was in fact, real.
There are many theories about what happened to Roswell back in the year of 1947. This incident happened at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico after the Fourth of July in 1947 when a rancher named William Brazel reported to the local sheriff, George Wilcox, that he might have found the remains of a flying saucer. Many assumed it was a UFO, the government said it was “dummy drops” which led other to believe that, and people started to believe it was a weather balloon, as the Army claimed.
Ever since then, this achievement has been a matter of discussion by several groups that either believed or disbelieved this. There are people who believe that the entire moon landing was “ The greatest government conspiracy of all time”. But the question is; why would they do that? What would be the reason for a government, who wants their country to trust them, to fake such an incredible event?
The hole that was left after American Airlines Flight 77 flew into the Pentagon was much smaller than the actual commercial plane. The plane was 125 feet long, however the hole left behind was 16 feet long, which lead a lot of people to question whether it was in fact the plane that crashed into the pentagon or was it hit by a foreign object and was made to look like a plane.
They claim that the military didn’t want the discovery to freak people out. To this day, people still believe that there was actually a spacecraft that crashed in Roswell. Reports kept being made of new sightings of UFOs and sometimes even attached pictures that they took. Every sighting that has been reported, has been denied and has been called a mistake. The reports are denied as flocks of birds migrating or hot air balloons in the sky, and even Photoshop. The military has announced that no matter what anybody else claims, the object that was found in Roswell, New Mexico, was just a weather balloon instrument that exploded and crashed, leaving pieces scattered all
In the summer of 1947, there was a day that caused a lot of speculation and hysteria in Roswell, a city in New Mexico. On that day, June 14th, 1947, an unknown object crash-landed into a ranch in the city of Roswell, New Mexico, leaving a huge amount of debris. There were many people that did not know what to make of this, and asked themselves, “Was that an alien crash or was it something else?” Many people claimed that it was from an unidentified flying object, or UFO, but others believe it is something less interesting. However, the hype of the incident was silenced until 1979 after the U.S. government officially declared that the debris was nothing more than the debris of a weather balloon. From that point on, new information came out from
The event was memorable and it was remembered for several years. One of the most iconic words ever spoken happened during this landing, Armstrong gave his famous words to the rest of the world as people were left astonished. The years prior to the Moon Landing were tough. Various movements were going on and “two important leaders had been assassinated.” (Crompton 1) The Moon Landing helped in numerous ways. One was that it fulfilled Kennedy’s promise to land on the Moon, but most importantly it helped Americans continue to adhere to the American way of life, as “many feared that the beams of American life were coming apart,”(Crompton 1) and stay prideful of America for it had accomplished a difficult, long-lasting legacy, and unprecedented event. This event was highly anticipated, since ex-president Kennedy promise Americans that it would be achieved. Therefore, thousands of people came to attend the memorable event and “watch mighty boasters lift the rockets into the sky.” (Crompton 4) The high attendance proved that Americans knew that something incredible would be witnessed that could last for copious years to come and revitalize the American way of life, since it had been weakened with the previous tough years. Furthermore, the Moon Landing left millions of Americans watching this tremendous event astonished. One could
Since its creation, the United States has strived to look for opportunities to make itself known as a world leader. One of these opportunities came in the form of obtaining the title of being the first country to land a man on the moon. On September 12, 1962, more than eighteen months into his presidency, President John F. Kennedy, ascended the podium at Rice University to address the crowd that gathered there. In the wake of the Soviet Union being the first country to get a man in space, the United States felt the pressure to come back with some sort of space accomplishment to rival that of the Soviet Union’s. President Kennedy was feeling this pressure to make a name for the United States in space exploration when he took to the podium. In
(Encyclopedia of Espionage, Intelligence, and Security) These claims, along with the Roswell incident in 1947, are the main reasons that many people believe the theories about UFOs and extraterrestrials being hidden deep within the walls of Area
“Fundamental to the conspiracy theory is our supposed inability to go to the Moon. The thought of humans traveling to the Moon was so fantastic even early science-fiction writers didn't predict it happening for centuries to come”(Villard). The rockets that made the moon landing possible were based upon the principles that were founded by Isaac Newton centuries ago, meaning that the underlying science was already there. The Saturn V rockets were more than capable of taking a man to the moon, and it was seen by thousands of eyewitnesses and media who saw the rocket blast off from the Kennedy space center in Florida (Villard). Those who claim that NASA could not reach the moon in the 1960’s discredit the hardworking engineers and scientists who paved the way for a lunar
