The Moon Landings introduce landmark controversy through political, social, environmental, scientific and exploration factors. All arguments prompt deliberation as to whether the 1969 landings can be considered a historical landmark. #Neil Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the moon with Buzz Aldrin following 20 minutes after. The famous words of Armstrong ‘That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind’ as he took his first step on the moon remain significant to this day. Armstrong noted that the landing had left a small crater on the moon.
Other scientists say that the repositioning of the world’s landmasses was disastrous for dinosaurs. As continents heaved upward, ocean currents were redirected and global sea levels fell. The Interior Seaway, which once divided North America in half, simply drained away as the Colorado Plateau rose thousands of feet. Though all these theories are well supported and make a lot of since, I think the continental drift theory is the better of them. First, an asteroid explosion so big to wipe out all the dinosaurs most likely would have made a bigger impact on the Earth.
Rodney Stitch tell me in his writing the causes of this accident and the others were the long delayed correction of safety problems, maintenance oversight problems and also the lack of adequate fuselage strength at the cargo door. . This article is useful for my research since I can use it to discuss possible causes to the accident of United Airlines Boeing 747 Hawaii (1989).

A year ago on the date of September 2011 in Reno, Nevada there was an air racing disaster that occurred. This disaster involved the death of a pilot and 10 others. It also injured 70 people. Thorough investigations and inspections have taken place since the crash. Two reports have noted that there was a loose screw in the tail of the airplane and that turbulence from the airplane racing close by added to the collision.
The Skylab Space Station was launched May 14, 1973, from the NASA Kennedy Space Center by the colossal Saturn V launch vehicle (the moon rocket of the Apollo Space Program). Sixty-three seconds after liftoff of the Space Station, the shield designed to protect it from meteoroids also to shade Skylab's workshop—moved without any intent. The shield was torn from the space station because of atmospheric drag. This event led to a ten-day period where Skylab has many problems that had to be taken care of before the space station would be safe for future missions. The Skylab Space Station was launched into orbit on May 14, 1973 as part of the Apollo program.
Philosophy Critical Thinking 5/29/2012 TWA Flight 800 What happened during TWA Flight 800? The flight crashed a few minutes after take off from the JFK Airport while on its way to Paris. The mystery of the crash consists of two theories. One theory states that a spark ignited a fuel tank explosion( another name for this theory is the “NTSB Theory”. The other theory states that a missile struck the aircraft in midair.
The ships captain had a drinking problem and on the night of the incident he was unfit to be in charge of the tanker and so left an unqualified crewmember in control. This inexperienced crewmember wouldn’t have collided with Bligh Reef if the ships RAYCAS radar had not been broken and disabled for more than a year before the disaster. The incorrect crewmember being in charge of the tanker (the third mate instead of Captain Joseph Hazelwood) and broken equipment played a huge role in the collision. Environmental Impacts Marine creatures were affected greatly by the spill as the toxic oil disrupted the food chain; the oil massively destroyed plankton numbers as it prevented sunlight from getting through the water (Plankton need to sunlight to grow, reproduce and ultimately end up as food for fish). Recent scientific studies have found that the fish developed gross deformities such as extra fins, or suffered from retarded development.
These roll over accidents resulted in the deaths of at least 174 and injures to more than 700 people. The result of these accidents is that Firestone and Ford became involved in a public relationship battle as each one blamed the other for the accidents. As this battle continued to escalate both companies reputations began to suffer severe damage. This inevitability resulted in the end of a business association that had lasted over one hundred years. 2) Major Overriding Issues/Problems After reading the case study and doing some additions investigation, it appears that both companies had made decisions that contributed to the accidents and the resulting deaths.
The second proof is the declaration of Dr. Norman about these special rocks. He said that they had discovered pieces of glass in the moon rock that were the result of meteorite impacts and volcanic activity over billions of years ago. Also he added that this kind of volcanic glass does not belong to the Earth because it can be destroyed immediately by water in the world in few million years; due to this explanation it is almost sure that the rocks came from the Moon. Finally, the third fact is given by Dr. David McKay, Chief Scientist for Planetary Science and Exploration at NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC). He has hundreds of documents about the origin of the Moon’s rocks brought by Apollo.
This expedition alighted astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the moon on July 20th, 1969 which enabled them to collect the first samples from another planetary body (1). For many, this was an event that marked a momentous time in history but for others, this was nothing more than a hoax. “The whole thing seems phony to me,” says After viewing this documentary, Phil Plaits said, “From the first moment to the very last, the program is loaded with bad thinking, ridiculous suppositions and utterly wrong science.” People like Plaits were outraged by the fact that there were others that thought that such a triumphant event was staged but what did cause people to believe that such a massive feat was staged? Discrepancies in the pictures, videos and accounts of the crew misled the public to believe that the spacecraft Apollo 11 never made it to the moon and man never set foot there. One discrepancy that was found in the pictures on the moon was that there were no stars.
