...July 20,1969 America won The Space Race as we were the first human or as we know of living beings on the Moon. Although we have proof of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were, in fact on the moon, there are some people who choose to believe and deny that this ever occurred. Their reasons mostly include that the flag was waving in the non-existing breeze. Also, there are no stars in the pictures. Lastly, they believe that the moon landing itself was recorded either deep in Hollywood 0r in Area 51. In the pictures, you see of the lunar module you see there are no stars in the sky. You would assume that in space, of all places there would be tons and tons of stars. Well, Michael Rundle wrote on HuffPost, “The lunar modules skin is by far the brightest thing in the pictures which means the crew had to have a low aperture setting on their cameras. Aperture is the setting on how much light is coming in the camera, the stars are not bright enough to be captured by the camera lens. This statement proves that there shouldn’t be pictures of stars on the moon unless that is the only thing in the picture. A statement like this proves that deniers are incorrect in their assumptions....

...library at MIT. Around the same time, his marriage was arranged so he flies first to his wedding in Calcutta and then onwards to Boston. He reads a guidebook warning that America is less friendly than Britain. On the plane he learns that two men have landed on the moon. He studies the differences and expectations and finds a cheap room at the YMCA in Central Square for his first weeks in the country. The fist meal he has in America is a bowl of cornflakes. He is on a budget, resolving to spend little money until his wife arrives, but the noise of Massachusetts Avenue outside his window is too much to bear. He spends each day drinking tea out of a newly purchased thermos, reading the Boston Globe cover to cover and then sleeping fitfully in his room. He comes across an ad for a room for rent and calls. He is told the room is only rented to boys from Harvard or Tech (MIT). He makes an appointment for the following day. He finds the house with the room for rent on a pretty, tree-lined street. It would be the first detached house he lived in, and the first home without Indians. The woman who owns the house is the quite old Mrs. Croft. She is dressed as if she lived in the turn of the century. They talk of the moon landing and Mrs. Croft demands that the man call it “splendid.” The man is baffled, but clearly she is impressed that he is punctual, that he declares the event “splendid,” and that he does indeed work for MIT.

...The narrator’s arrival coincides with the first landing on the moon and depicts the narrator’s own first ‘small step’ into a new world, his first emotional connection with another human being and the arrival of a wife he does not know. It gently portrays the growth of a bond, and ultimately a love between them and finally the attainment of contentment with his life, their lives together. The big events of the plot are: Moving from India to England (Finsbury Park, London) in 1964 Arranged marriage to Mala in 1969 Move to Boston, Massachusetts, USA immediately after the wedding Mala arriving from India in August 1969 …but they have no greater importance than renting a room from Mrs Croft, treating others with consideration, kindess etc. | STYLE | The narrative is heavily descriptive, offering detailed observations of his encounters with Mrs Croft. The observations are very dispassionate and matter-or-fact, merely stating what the narrator sees without passing judgement. Even the ‘big events’ are described in very ordinary terms. The occasional bit of humour allows the reader, and the characters, to smile. | THEMES | Pioneering resilience of the human spiritThe narrator moves from India to England to America, enduring some sordid conditions, but all the while working to better his position. His arrival in America, armed only with The Student Guide to North America, coincides with the first moon landing, juxtaposing that extraordinary event...

...Introduction There are many significant factors which lead to the moon landing. These are some of the important dates and the missions in the space history; first successful orbital launch was of the Soviet unmanned Sputnik 1; mission on 4 October 1957. The satellite is believed to have orbited Earth at a height of about 160 miles; Yuri Gagarin was the first human to journey into outer space, when his Vostok spacecraft completed an orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961. On July 22nd 1969 Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon and Buzz Aldrin the second. Dr Wernher von Braun Dr Wernher von Braun was a German rocket engineer and designer and an aerospace. He was the designer of the famous but destructive V2 rockets. The Soviet Army was about 200 miles from his office in 1945 when von Braun assembled his planning staff and asked them to decide how and to who should surrender. Afraid of the well-known Soviet cruelty to prisoners of war, von Braun and his keen staff decided to try to surrender to the Americans. Kammler (a high ranked officer) had ordered relocation of von Braun's team to central Germany; however, a conflicting order from an army chief ordered them to join the army and...

...Tim Hamner gets to a party thrown by the Sutters and announces that a comet he discovered has been authenticated and named the Hamner-Brown. The "Brown" is a young amateur astronomer who reported his own sighting around the same time as Hamner. Tim explains that he found the comet first but waited to make sure that it really was an undiscovered comet before reporting it. The next few months, people started to worry that the comet would hit the Earth and some people prepared for an end-of-the-world scenario. Tim soon met Harvey Randall, a documentary film maker who covers the scientific about the Hamner-Brown. Harvey claims to believe the experts who say the chances of a comet strike are almost nonexistent but makes some preparations anyway. When the comet does hit, thieves loot the Randall house, killing Harvey's wife, Loretta, and taking all the supplies Harvey had. Harvey's son, Andy, is in the mountains on a hiking trip with the Randall's neighbor, Gordie Vance. As Harvey is leaving the city with one of his colleagues, Mark Czescu and his girlfriend, Joanne, they run into Gordie's wife and take her with them. In the mountains, Andy and Gordie kept the scout troop safe, killed a group of bikers who took some girls hostage, and then turned down the offer to go to the Jellison’s ranch with Harvey. Nearby, Arthur Jellison had gathered some supplies for an end of the world fortress. However, Jellison doesn’t have enough that people would have noticed that he's expecting the comet...

...The man on the moon In the year 1969, for the first time ever a man set foot on the moon. It made the news everywhere and it was a very risky mission but it got completed. In the passages we read, it showed us four perspectives. A news article, a speech, a commentary and a political cartoon. All four of these perspectives showed an interaction among the speaker, audience, and subject. Which is called the rhetorical triangle. When someone uses the rhetorical triangle or ethos, pathos, and logos, it makes the passages much more interesting and you’ll get a better understanding on what they are trying to inform. In the first passage, Neil Armstrong is describing his experience being the first man on the moon. The New York Times did a really good job informing the...

...Lost at sea and landing on the moon An effective team is made up of a range of people with different quality and skills all aiming to work together to create a final output in the highest quality possible, whether it is a new product or an idea. It is simply defined as a limited number of people who have shared objectives at work, who co-operate, on a temporary or permanent basis. In my case, this group was temporary, therefore only lasted for a short period of time. In order for the team to reach their goal they must set aims and objectives in order for each team member to follow. An effective team involves a leader who will communicate and encourage each member to contribute their ideas, in order to get an array of opinions. The atmosphere must also be calm and laissez faire as this will enable team members to el comfortable with each other encouraging them to voice their ideas as well as feeling comfortable and settled. In addiction team members must be open to constructive criticism as well as learn from others within the group. During class we were split into groups of four to complete a task called “Lost at sea”. This activity outlined the application of both Belbin’s team work roles and Tuckman’s team development. Dr R. Meredith Belbin identified ways in which people behave when put into teams I believe that Bonnie was the shaper of the group. She was able to set objectives and priorities and guided the team towards the completion of the task. Bonnie also had lots of...

...Every incredible moment in history has been certainly on the internet, which has then been followed by many conspiracy theories, the Apollo moon landings are doubtlessly one of those moments. On July 21, 1969, two astronauts set foot on the lunar surface, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Since then, NASA has been accused of staging the landing at a soundstage in Hollywood despite all of the compelling evidence to the contrary. The iconic photograph of Buzz Aldrin going down the ladder of the lunar module Eagle, caused many conspiracy theorists to claim that they could have taken the photo using an artificial light source. They were right, but, Nvidia, a computer graphics chipmaker proves a new digital reconstruction of the Apollo 11 landing...

How does technology play a role in the continuation of the Space Program? Does it impact civilian life? The technology used plays an impacting role on space exploration as well as advancements in civilian life. Does the changes in the Space Program impact the job market? Is there a difference between then and now? The Space Program is a huge team of people involved in various areas and has different amounts of need for certain areas. The Space Program has had different factors of motivation. Motives for continuing the Space Program has completely changed over the past 50 years. In 1955, the Space Race began and was a factor of motivation. The U.S was so deeply involved and had the goal of being successful (Griffin). They were eager to put long hours full of hard work to achieve their goal. The race against the Soviets lasted until 1972 (Leone). A seventeen year race was enough motivation for the kickstart of NASA. It allowed for exploration like no other. After the Space Race, motivation to continue the program was different (When we left Earth). Motivation for the Space Program came in different forms after the race...
