Humanity finally crossed over earth's boundaries and to the moons on the 11th Apollo mission. None of it could have happened without all the preparation and overcoming of the many technical hurdles. The work in Project Mercury, the Gemini Program and the Apollo missions was much more complex and significant than many think. All the missions played such an important role in reaching the moon. By the completion of the first lunar landing mission, American astronauts already logged more than 5,000 man-hours in space.
Louis Armstrong was a prominent figure in the musical field, best known as a trumpeter and vocalist. He was a man who dabbled in many genres instead of constricting himself to a single one, such as pop and swing, but in current times, his name has become almost synonymous with the jazz genre. Armstrong was born on August 4th, 1901, to a poor family in the state of Louisiana. He attended school during the first few years of his life, but had dropped out before he became a teenager; it was around this time that he would begin to learn how to play the cornet by ear. With his early start and years of experience under his belt, it was no surprise that by the time the 1920s had rolled around, Armstrong had already begun to find work in the musical
After the Soviet Union made the first of many achievements, such as the first moonwalk, the U.S. wasn’t far behind and was determined to achieve what the Soviets achieved and more. The Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions were all big steps for the U.S. toward a man on the moon. It wasn’t until 1969 when Apollo 11 landed on the moon and the U.S. supposedly won the Space Race. After twenty years of the Cold War still taking place, the Berlin Wall fell and eventually the Soviet Union did as well. After this time, the U.S. and Russia “entered into cooperative agreements, most notably the assembly and occupation of the International Space Station.”
"What he does is real, and true, and honest, and simple, and even noble. Every time this man puts his trumpet to his lips, even if only to practice three notes, he does it with his whole soul. " This quote by composer, Leonard Bernstein, perfectly grasps what Louis Armstrong aspired for every time he unhinged the case of his instrument. This recognition is what countless other black artists, musicians, poets and writers desired during the outbreak of literary and artistic African American culture in the first half of the 1900’s, known as the Harlem Renaissance.
Apollo was the son of Zeus, who was the strongest God and youngest of the 12 Rhea’s children, and the twin sister of Artemis, who was the goddess of the moon. In tales he is potrayed as playing a golden lyre. He was also known as a great archer, great at shooting far distances, with his silver bow. Apollo was also known as the God of music. He invented the instrument the lute.
Apollo 7 tested the command modal once in space. Apollo 8 was the first manned mission to orbit around the moon for the United States. Apollo 10 tested the lunar module around the moon. Apollo 11, the most famous Apollo mission of them all, was the one where the United States first landed on the moon, furthermore being the first country to land, and walk on the moon. This mission is where the famous saying from Neal Armstrong, "That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" came from.
Louis Armstrong once said, “Seems to me it ain't the world that's so bad but what we're doing to it, and all I'm saying is: see what a wonderful world it would be if only we'd give it a chance. Love, baby - love is love. That's the secret.” Louis Armstrong gave the world a chance to see how beautiful the world really is. He showed everyone how much potential the world has through his love of music.
Introduction One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. These famous words spoken by Neil Armstrong on the 20th of July 1969 were heard in over 600 million homes all over the word; the Americans had landed on the moon, the race was over. It took 8 years and 30 billion dollars to accomplish this feat and the information gained was invaluable to future space missions and provided important information about our moon. Motives behind The Apollo Mission In 1961, President Kennedy challenged the American people to land man on the moon before the end of the decade.
“Houston, we have a problem.” These few words represented the Apollo 13 lunar mission crisis in 1970. With its nail-biting suspense and perfect immediacy, Ron Howard's thrilling 1995 movie Apollo 13 put you on the edge of your seat. The Apollo mission started in 1961. History was made on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong stepped out the Lunar Module Eagle and issued the well-known words “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Flag Speech On July , 19th 1939 Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Neil Armstrong sent a message to Mission control in Houston, Texas. The message stated “The Eagle has landed”. I believe that this message is supposed to mean how America was the first country to land on the moon.
In 1961 Soviet Astronaut, Yuri Gagarin, was the first human to orbit the Earth. President Kennedy worried that the Soviets leading in the space race might influence the world into believing that communism was a better option than capitalism, and that would hurt America in the Cold War. Kennedy went before congress less than two months later and declared: “I believed this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon” (Appleby 604). One year later, America matched the Soviets with U.S. astronaut John Glenn orbiting the Earth. On July 16, 1969, Saturn V, the most powerful rocket ever built, lifted off carrying Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Collins.
“That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” These famous words, spoken by Neil Armstrong on July 20, 1969, marked the famous occasion of the first man on the moon. The successful Apollo 11 mission had many memorable moments and had several great accomplishments. This day has forever gone down in history. Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, and Michael Collins were the center of attention up in space.
Throughout history mankind has looked up at the stars and curiously speculated, “What’s out there?” Neil Alden. Armstrong and the Apollo 11 mission, in some measure, began to answer that question on July 20, 1969 when he stated, “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed”(Hansen 487). A few hours later he would take his first step on the moon’s surface.
The moon landing is a defining moment in American history that will forever unite the country together. For numerous reasons, the importance of sending a man onto the moon was stressed by supporters. The U.S. believed that it in order to keep its position as a world leader, it was vital to beat the Soviet Union to the moon. A man on the moon would help aid the U.S. with new discoveries of extremely useful information about the moon. Information more valuable than a satellite could ever obtain (Space Race).
On July 20th, 1969, the Apollo 11 with astronaut Neil Armstrong and his crew, guided by thousands of NASA technicians, supposedly landed on the surface of the moon. It was certainly one of the most extraordinary events accomplished by mankind up to that date. Neil Armstrong’s first words upon stepping on the moon surface will always be remembered “ A small step for mankind, a giant leap for humanity”. Ever since then, this achievement has been a matter of discussion by several groups that either believed or disbelieved this.
