The 1969 moon landing is the most controversial landing in history.First, people look at any old picture and call it fake,but there is a few partially restored picture that you can look for very easily. Secondly,there is a partially restored video of the astronauts descending the ladder. lastly, there have been photos of the moon landing spots with a satellite.In conclusion,I believe that the moon landing was not faked because there is so much evidence to pass around. There never will be a more controversial moon landing. To start I believe this because people were and still are outraged about what happened on that fateful day,because there are people that say the most ignorant things like the shadows don’t line up or you can see stage lights

Once the United States landed Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon, it was clear that the U.S. hoaxed the moon landing due to observations being viewed during the live footage of the moon landing. When watching the United States land on the moon, viewers claim to have watched the flag waving on live television. As known, there is no atmosphere in space or on the moon, so why should the flag be waving? NASA clai...
... “of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth” The space program fascinates the American people. In the early 1960s whenever space flights were launched during school hours students would gather in gyms and auditoriums to watch the lift offs on television. The race to the moon continued through the 1960s. It is one of the nations single most expensive projects of the decade, costing $56 billion.
Neil Alden Armstrong was an astronaut and the first man ever to walk on the Moon.
The television broadcast of the Apollo 11 lunar-landing on July 20, 1969 had a significant impact by creating a sense of community on a national, international, and global level. During the broadcast of the first lunar landing, Americans experienced a moment of unity and patriotism in the midst of societal issues and geopolitical conflict. The Apollo 11 broadcast also had a significant worldwide impact, surpassing international boundaries as people witnessed the first of mankind to set foot on another planet. Yet possibly the most remarkable and unforeseen effect of the moon-landing television broadcast was that it changed the public perspective of the world, showing people the relative fragility and insignificance of the Earth in the vast
President Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the direct cause for the end of World War II in the Pacific. The United States felt it was necessary to drop the atomic bombs on these two cities or it would suffer more casualties. Not only could the lives of many soldiers have been taken, but possibly the lives of many innocent Americans. The United States will always try to avoid the loss of American civilians at all costs, even if that means taking lives of another countries innocent civilians.

The reason that the Vietnam War was one of the most unpopular wars in American history is that the United States fought a war for someone else by using their men and money. Besides the losses of the highly-trained soldiers and money, America was also in the unwinnable situation. First, they fought on the unfamiliar territory; unlike any other wars in Europe, Vietnam War was mostly fought in the forest, jungle, and Viet Cong used the “hit and run” technique which gave the American soldiers a huge trouble to deal with. Second, not only did the American soldiers die for nothing in Vietnam War, but innocent Vietnamese civilians, who were protected and fought along with American soldiers, also died in the war. Therefore, Vietnam War was also made the United States look like an evil imperialist. Third, even if the United States won the war, there was no guarantee that the ideology of Communism would stop spreading out. Additionally, there was a large amount of Americans protest the war. Therefore, the Vietnam War was one of the most unpopular wars in American history because America lost their troops, money, and reputation for the Vietnam War
The fact that all six moon landings happened under Nixon’s administration is how the cookie crumbled. People who believe the moon landing is a hoax are accusing NASA of pulling off something so much more complex than actually making it to the moon.
To what extent was Harry Truman’s decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki justified?
The dropping of the atomic bomb may be one of the most controversial topics in American history. Could there have been another way to end the war without obliterating two Japanese cities? Several historians have taken a side and stated their interpretation of the situation. There are numerous factors that can sway the argument either way depending upon how influential you determine those factors to be. Some main historians that debated this topic are Robert Maddox, Tsuyoshi Hasegawa, and Gar Alperovitz. Each of these historians provides us with different insight, and a different answer to the question, was it necessary to drop the atomic bomb to end World War II?
Space, a mysterious place, the moon, a curious place that mankind wonders about day by day. In the 1960’s and early 1970’s the United States sent a team of three to the moon for the very first time. The crew consisted was: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Out of the three, Neil Armstrong was the first to step foot on the moon (Journal of American History 609). The name of the mission to the moon was called “Apollo 11” this mission took place on July 1969 (Beall, Jeffrey 122). Space is an unexplored place, there are still people trying to discover more than they already know. Curtin people were doubting the mission, some people b the U.S. flag looked like it was flapping in the wind, but the moon does not have an atmosphere (Mashing Moon Myths 505).
The Roswell incident is one of the most publicized and well-known accounts of a possible UFO crash in the world. Perhaps the greatest evidence that a UFO did indeed crash near Roswell, is the wide scale military cover up that took place after the crash. This along with numerous eyewitness accounts of the crash site, prove that what ever happened in the summer of 1947, was certainly not a normal occurrence.

“men walk on the moon! Triumph for mankind!” There was no mention of the Soviets or a race that the Americans had won, but rather the paper focuses on how big of an achievement this was for mankind. Of course the main article talks about the United States, but the attention grabbing headline gave all the credit to mankind. Most of the headlines the next day read similar things. It is very apparent based on this fact alone that clearly this “race” that Kennedy started was very irrelevant to Americans. As stated earlier, time and time again Americans more concerned about this great achievement for
