I chose to talk about Space Explorations: Apollo Missions. I chose this because landing on the moon was a wonderful thing we were able to accomplish and I do consider the crew to be a heros. They very easily could have died and I don’t know that a lot of people think about that they were willing to give their lives to be able to move Science forward. In the book “Apollo Moon Mission: The unsung heroes” it said “In 1961, President John F. Kennedy issued a challenge: the United States would land a

assignment I chose to learn more about the Apollo Missions. I have always been very interested in this subject. It blows my mind that someone was smart enough to figure out how to get man on the moon and bring them home safely. The whole point of the Apollo Missions were to safely land man on the moon and bring them home. There were many tests before they actually landed Apollo 11 on the moon. Apollo 7 and 9 were Earth orbiting missions to test the modules. Apollo 8 and 10 tested large amounts of components

“The probability of success is difficult to estimate; but if we never search the chance of success is zero, “Giuseppe Cocconi and Philip Morrison in their 1959 paper ‘Searching for Interstellar Communications’ supports the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This prediction was one of the first of its kind and it opened up nonbeliever’s eyes to real possibility of space exploration.

All of the articles that I selected relate in that they are all ground breaking events that ultimately had a great impact on our history. They were the first of their time and in the majorify of situations, not in a positive way. To begin on a postive note, we begin with the first man to walk on the moon.
