Moon Landings
People are still arguing if the moon landing in 1969 was real or faked by the United States Of America. Some people think it was faked and if they are true this would be very embarrassing to America and NASA. Some think it was real because of some of the evidence they brought back supposedly from the moon's surface but this is my opinion.
I think the moon in landing in 1969 was real because of the rocks they got from the moon's surface and also because with a satellite image of the moon they say an image of tire marks on the surface. I know it could be a satellite or something but what are the chances of that going on that exact spot. And from one of the probes NASA sent up to the moon was found by the astronauts and brought back to NASA. People think that the rocks brought back from the moon was a meteorite from the moon but if it was how would they locate that if it was a meteoroid. And the meteoroid should have turned into dust and just have disappeared when it went into our orbit.
And when the rocket was taking off too the moon several other countries said they tracked it to the moon. If we were in a race with them why would they say they even tracked the spacecraft that's evidence that it went to the moon.And one of the countries was the Soviet Union the one country that

we were competing against in the space race. Astronauts placed satellites on the moon and NASA shot a laser at the satellite and it reflected back to them if it was fake how did the satellites get on the moon and if it wasn't there what did we shot at. And if the Moon Landings were fake how did all those people that were involved in it keep that big of a secret i'm mean it's not likely that more than 1,000 people kept that big of a secret this long and still have not told anybody about it. If the moon landing was faked, why would they waste that much money on something fake they would have just done it with all the money they spent on trying to get to the moon.
Why would America build up some much anticipation for this spacecraft and then fake it, they know that if someone finds out that the whole moon landing thing was faked that's going to be embarrassing for them and they know that and the won't want other countries hearing that because they'll think the united states don't have the technology to get there and they might have. And that might cause a war against us because they have more technology than we have and we won't be able to stop them in that
war. And that is the evidence of why I think that the moon landings were real and who they are not fake.

John F. Kennedy once said, "No nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space...We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard”. The main motive for this quote was to ensure that the United States wanted to beat out the Soviets in the space race. Ever since the Soviets tried to advance on the moon, the United States wanted to be the first successful nation to accomplish the first ever moon landing. At the time, the tension between the United States and the Soviets was very strong because the Cold War just ended and neither nation wanted to lose to each other in the space race. Just as the United States planned their mission to the moon, the Soviets were the very first nation to ever settle on space. The U.S. as well as President Kennedy were shocked to see the Soviets be the first nation to fly in space. The United States had to come up with a plan in order to beat out the soviets, by becoming the very first nation to ever land on the moon. Overall, it is clear that the United States hoaxed the moon landing in order to beat out the Soviet Union in the space race through observations, evidence from a Hollywood studio, and allowing NASA to pull off the Apollo mission.
The Soviet’s were responsible for putting man on the moon, rovers on Mars, and launching the Hubble Space Telescope. Indeed, it was the United States’ foes that drove the U.S. to accomplish perhaps the greatest feats of the twentieth century. Following the defeat of Germany and Japan in World War II, tensions between former allies, the United States and the Soviet Union, began to grow. In the following decades, the two superpowers would duke it out in competitions and tremendous shows of nationalism. They formed unmatchable rivalries in politics, economics, sciences, and sports. These rivalries would become clear when two countries competed in the space race, a competition between the U.S. and the Soviet Union concerning achievements in the field of space exploration. The Soviet’s took the early lead as they put the first satellite, Sputnik 1, into space. The launch of Sputnik 1 established a sense of fear into the American Public, resulting in the creation of NASA in the late 1950’s which opened the door for space exploration today and for future generations.
No one can physically prove that the US landed on the moon. So, will Americans ever know the real truth about the moon landings? What one's eyes see, one believes. So, from all the evidence that NASA obtained, it proves that they really did send men to the moon in 1969.
The Space Race is remarkably similar to that of the arms race because of the parallel between the creation of the atomic bomb and the goal of reaching the moon. The United States’ bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki effectively established its place as the technologically superior nation; however, major milestones in space achieved early by the Soviets damaged America’s reputation. In 1957, Soviet scientists shocked the world by successfully launching the Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, beyond the Kármán Line (the boundary of space). This amazing breakthrough “rattled American self-confidence”. It cast doubts on America’s vaunted scientific superiority and raised some sobering military questions.”
Just about everyone in the United States has heard about the little town of Roswell, New Mexico. Most people know that there is a connection between Roswell and UFO’S. This crash site became the most credible in UFO crashes ever known. The U.S military actually sent out to the news and every reporter claiming that a flying disk has just crash at Roswell in July 1947. It was all in the news papers and it said that the military had recovered the flying disk and later the military retracted that news from the newspaper and every type of media saying that they had made a mistake and that it was just a weather balloon that they retracted and have in their possession (marshal, Brian). The s...
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” was stated by Neil Armstrong once a national goal was accomplished. Landing successfully on the moon was a major goal for astronauts of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin were honored to be the very first of mankind to step foot on the moon, and allowed America to set future goals for outer-space journeys. With the assigned Apollo mission, America was granted much needed hope. Astronauts of NASA in the Apollo Program accomplished John F. Kennedy’s goal of placing the first man on the moon safely for the United States.
The Americans took a much more urgent approach after seeing what the U.S.S.R. was truly capable of. The United States would respond with various satellites including those of the Explorer Series and more. However, the Soviet Union would again one-up the United States, and all of their now seemingly feeble satellite launches, by putting the first man into outer space, Yuri Gagarin, in 1961. Now the quest gained an even more competitive drive and the United States soon put Alan B. Shepard into space twenty-three days later. The Space Race was truly a trek for the firsts of history, essentially just exterrestrial one-ups throughout an extended period of time. That very same year, John F. Kennedy founded NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, just for that purpose, to explore the world beyond their own, while maintaining the central aim, to beat the Soviets outright. JFK was a leading power in this race, and “by giving NASA programs top priority, his actions essentially played on American fears of communism and implicitly inferred that the Eisenhower administration had not done enough to meet the Sputnik challenge. Too many Americans were beginning to feel a need to vindicate the ‘long-standing communist boast that theirs was the superior system for galvanizing human productivity’” (Koman 43). Winning this space race was way more than just an extraterrestrial victory, it would hopefully squander the communists’ hopes and assert true American dominance. The United States sought to eliminate any presumption of communist superiority and did so in the near future by winning this Cold War space race, thanks to the execution of a truly unimaginable
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.
Some Americans now ask, "Was the moon landing a hoax?" Is this actually possible; would the U.S. government lie to our nation, let alone the whole world? The answer, no, should jump out. Hoax believers (HBs) thought they researched this thoroughly and gained enough evidence to prove that the moon landing was a hoax, but they don't know jack! Their whole case can be compared to a brick house with one difference. It seems like the bricks have all the corners, sides, and shape of a house. The evidence seems to be very strong, but the bricks are only one dimensional. All the "supposed" evidence crumbles after a little research. In this report I will show HBs falsified case along with the truth.
It was kind of like a race with Soviet Union but they won and after that 4 years after then, NASA had a man on the moon. He wanted to announce the U.S.A that they was going
There are various reasons people have come up with to try and prove that the moon landing didn’t happen but they all have logical responses. NASA completed what President Kennedy promised six years after he was assassinated. 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 is accusing NASA of pulling off something so much more complex than actually making it to the moon. We beat the USSR to the moon, there’s no actual proof to be able to deny
In the movie Apollo 13, staring Tom Hanks, as Jim Lovell; and Bill Paxton, as Fred Hayes; it entertainingly documents the Apollo 13 moon mission. Some of the factual science portrayed in the movie is blended into the nonfactual science that makes the movie more entertaining. The names of the characters match the names of the real life astronauts. Also the complications that the Apollo 13 crew faced were among other examples of true science. The amount of time that the left over oxygen would take to breath in I believe was built up for the suspense. The size of the Earth compared to the moon, considering the distance, seemed to be accurate. A small thing that was in the movie was when Tom Hanks was in his back yard and then
The Apollo 11 mission was an important event for the United States and the world. Astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong climbed down the ladder of the lunar module and onto the surface of the moon. The Apollo 11 moon landing, a topic that brings up a lot of debates between those who believe it happened and those who believe it did not happen. It has been half a century since the magnificent Apollo 11 moon landing, yet many people still do not believe it happened. Conspiracy theories about events dating back to the 1970s are, in fact, more popular than ever.
