Apollo 11 Imagine you’re in a rocket flying through space. Nothing but pure blackness for days on end. Then...in front of you...a bright light.

The 1969 Moon Landing: A Giant Leap for Mankind For centuries, mankind has wanted to explore outside the world we live in and into outer space. The idea of landing on the moon seemed impossible. Defeating all odds on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong, 38 years of age, made what many thought impossible, possible.

including the moon landings.The moon landings caused the creation of countless theories on how the U.S. Government faked them on a Hollywood soundstage.

“Red nigger moon. Sinner! Blood-burning moon. Sinner! Come out that fact’ry door” (Toomer 652). This moon blazing scarlet in the night sky certainly sets the tone for Jean Toomer’s story, “Blood-Burning Moon.” Not only does it foreshadow the violence that darkens his tale, but it also symbolizes the irresistible forces that tug at the lives of our three main characters, pushing and pulling on the chords of racial inequality that bind the nation. The moral vacuum left by the First World War compelled

The race to space was very important during this time because of the Cold War
“To infinity and beyond” says Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story. However we have only reached the moon so far. Not everybody has seen the Apollo Landing, but we all have at least of heard it.
