In addition, aliens built and helped humans build structures such as Egypt’s pyramids, The Moai stone heads of Easter Island, Mayan pyramids, and Aztec, Incan, and Peruvian megalithic structures. Critics of this theory will argue that there is no such thing because they’ve never seen a "little green man." There are those who want
Even though NASA and the U.S. government have video of the Apollo11 moon landing, many still think we in fact did not go to the moon. Why haven’t there been more manned explorations and was this an elaborate hoax by NASA to satisfy political demands. Michael Newton (2006). The Encyclopedia of Conspiracies and Conspiracy Theories (pg. 22).
“Fundamental to the conspiracy theory is our supposed inability to go to the Moon. The thought of humans traveling to the Moon was so fantastic even early science-fiction writers didn't predict it happening for centuries to come”(Villard). The rockets that made the moon landing possible were based upon the principles that were founded by Isaac Newton centuries ago, meaning that the underlying science was already there. The Saturn V rockets were more than capable of taking a man to the moon, and it was seen by thousands of eyewitnesses and media who saw the rocket blast off from the Kennedy space center in Florida (Villard). Those who claim that NASA could not reach the moon in the 1960’s discredit the hardworking engineers and scientists who paved the way for a lunar
The hopes with some of the future telescopes are to answer the question that many ask, "Are we alone in the universe" (NASA, 2009). Earth has been the only planet that contains life, but scientists are eager to find other planets that are like Earth (NASA, 2009). * The major designs of telescopes * There are types of telescopes ranging from Refractor, Reflector and a Catadioptic. All can help with searching the night sky, but depending on what you want to see depends on the telescope you need to choose. A Refractor telescope uses a lens, a curved piece of glass, which bends the light to focus.
There would be no life forms that would survive, to include the planet if the meteor were to hit earth. The only chance for survival rests in the hands of Harry Stamper, his drilling crew, few NASA astronauts, and they only have 18 days to complete the mission and blow up the meteor. One may believe the alternate themes may be that teams need to work together and communicate with all means possible. Some could say that they should have trust as well as belief in all members. NASA must learn to take criticism while giving control over to men they would not normally have anything to do with.
There were five other Apollo missions that also landed astronauts on the moon. The last mission was in 1972. The six Apollo spaceflights were the only times that a human has ever landed on a celestial body. The Apollo program specifically the lunar landings, are often cited as the greatest achievement in human history. So which brings us to a great starting point of being able to address this question, what was the famous speech by JFK when declared that the United States would take a trip to the moon while in this decade not because this would be an easy task.
Eighty years ago, an astronomer by the name of Clyde Tombaugh, was comparing photographic plates from a special telescope created for the sole purpose of discovering a new planet he called, Planet X. He was to examine these photographic plates with a blink comparator to see if the object in the plate had shifted position. After a while he did discover that the object had shifted position, which meant that he had found Planet X, which today is called Pluto (History I: The Lowell Observatory in 20th century Astronomy). There was a time, eight years ago, where nine planets existed in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. That all changed when it was voted, in 2006, that Pluto was to no longer be considered a planet due to the definition of a planet being rewritten.
The first moon landing through the Apollo program has been one the most highlighted historical events in American History. History textbooks portray this event through a classical approach. Why not? It certainly would not be politically correct to teach young students that the moon landing may have not happened. If history books are traditionally written in a classical approach you can imagine what was said about the first moon landing, what would be said if they took a Revisionist approach?
Today there is really no danger that can be seen from the space, so our Governments aren’t startled or anything at all. Now what if… One day they saw an object that, without a doubt, was heading towards earth? What could the NASA do about it? While NASA doesn’t advocate the application of nukes to shoot asteroids out of the sky, they speculate it’s possible to send a rocket in space to sway the object’s trajectory off-course to avoid a
The Moon Landing Briefly describe the background of the debate. The United States’ Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the moon on 20 July, 1969. Nine years earlier, U.S. President John F. Kennedy had said that by the end of the decade the country would put a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth. There have been six manned landings up until 1976, as no landings have occurred since then. The Moon landing conspiracy theories claim that some or all elements of the Apollo program and the associated Moon landings were hoaxes staged by NASA and members of other organizations.
