I researched the Apollo Space Mission. In order to learn more and visualize it, I watched a documentary and read articles about it on the NASA websites. I learned a lot about the mission. Some of the motivation behind the Apollo mission was the curiosity of the people. Everyone wanted to know what was on the moon and what it was like. Another thing that pushed them was the success of the soviets. They launched Sputnik and got the first man into space. America wanted to keep up. People asked If it was possible to get on the moon and wondered what they would find when they got there. The significance from this discovery was the U.S. success and pride that was felt when they reached their goal. They obtained new information and knowledge of space.
