never landed on the moon. It has been 44 years since man took his first steps on the moon. The majority of the American public accepts the moon landings as truth, but there are a very vocal select few who refuse to accept what the government has depicted. Conspiracy theorists explain that at the time the U.S. government was desperate to beat the Russians in the space race, therefore they faked the lunar landings with the astronauts acting out their mission on a secret Hollywood set, or somewhere within Area 51. They claim since that the photos and videos of the Apollo voyage are only available through NASA, there is no other independent verification, thus the moon landings were a hoax.
There’s a peer-reviewed article that contains many of these claims, but they also provide the origins and history on how people were even able to land on the moon. This article is called ‘’Apollo Moon Landing hoax accusations’’. What made people to make quick assumptions like that? Several medias reinforced the idea that we never actually landed on the moon. For example, the first book which was on this subject was made by Bill Kaysing who he himself published was called ‘’We never went to the Moon: America’s Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle’’.
COLD WAR SPACE RACE The cold war between the U.S. and Russia brought out a competition on who would make it to space first the space race. The space race brought out Americas competitive personality the space race change America because they change humanity by having a human being land on the moon. This space race between the two world powers change humanity with breaking limits of new technology for space travel. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is formed, it replaces the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA) in October 1 1958. In 1957 the space race had begun between two of the most powerful countries in October of that year the U.S.S.R launch sputnik 1 in orbit a month later sputnik 2 is launch with a small dog named Laika.
When Americans began to believe that weapons of mass destruction existed and decided that Iraq was providing support to al Queda, the war could be justified as an act of self defense. Bush also told Americans by invading Iraq he would bring a democracy to their country to better the policies and enforce democratic beliefs in their country. The role of the media plays an imminent part in the run up to the war in Iraq. The media repeatedly showed the planes crashing into the World Trade Centers. People were watching this horrific act being shown on every news channel for weeks after the attacks occurred.
The author establishes pathos by talking about how this event has changed the world forever and also because he talks about death. The third and final text, A Symbol of Man’s Greatness, is about a man (the author) who is watching Apollo 11 take off in person at the space center. The purpose of this text is to tell the story about his personal experience and feeling about the historical launch to go to the moon. The interaction among the speaker and the audience effects the text because the speaker talks about their own personal experiences. The audience of this text would be anyone that read this article or book at that time or for people who are interested in reading it
The Space Race between the United States of America and Soviet Union during the Cold War was not only a race between two “nuclear” countries, but much more a contest between two geniuses: Wernher von Braun and Sergey Korolyov. We have heard different opinions about the winner of this race, but thanks to the BBC’s documentary the big picture became a lot clearer for me, although there are still some questions for me- which one of two geniuses would be the winner of the race and how people suffered because of paying taxes that went directly to “nowhere” ? After World War II, it became obvious that the world will be divided in two: capitalistic and communistic countries. Both sides, especially communists, desperately needed to show the people in their countries that their society system is better than the other one. The first selection would have been war, but as both (U.S and Soviets) had nuclear weapons, the risk for a global disaster was too big.
From there they addressed the socioeconomic issues that plague our world. When Foster Gamble got into UFO's it became skeptical. The documentary was spot on and describes the current economic system perfectly. It explains how the
Could our government have masterminded this horrific crime? Actually, I believe they did, I personally believe that the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and the crashing of Flight 93 does not accurately add up to it’s ashes. On September 11, 2001 the media/government reported that terrorists hi-jacked two U.S. commercial airplanes that struck the World Trade Center. Although how could the terrorist successively pass through security and board a plane with weapons, especially after the D.B. Cooper incident?
During this time period the United States and the Soviet Union were also trying to be the first to put people on the moon. The Space Race officially started October 4th, 1957 when the Soviets sent the Sputnik which was the first official satellite sent into space. Now the United States was afraid of what the Soviets could do with control of space so within months the United States sent up their own satellite and the race had begun. Throughout the space race the Soviet Union seemed to have the advantage and was seemingly going to make it to space first. They had the first satellite, the first manmade object to orbit the sun, the first manmade object to impact the moon, the first man and women in space, they had the first ever space walk, the first manmade object to impact venus, and the first satellite to orbit the moon.
September 4, 2013 A Loss of Interest Charles Krauthammer expresses his disappointment for American’s loos of interest in moon exploration in his Washington Post article, “The Moon We Left Behind”. This essay is very informative, and fairly persuasive; Krauthammer keeps it entertaining by adding his own opinions and insights. Krauthammer’s main idea is how America has essentially abandoned the Earth’s largest satellite since our original obsession with it, brought on by President Kennedy. If we ever hope to discover any new information about the moon, or our solar system, we will have to send someone into space once again. Krauthammer sets an informative and persuasive tone by his use of numbers and dates.
