Henri Oung Date due: April 28th, 2009 Knowledge and Conspiracy Theories Date submitted: April 28th, 2009 Term paper: Moon-landing Word count: 1110 We always strive to achieve something. That achievement might be a dream or something even bigger. One of the dreams that Americans have is to actually get off the planet earth and see the outer universe. But one of the first things they wanted to accomplish is to actually land on the moon. It was first succeeded by the soviets in 1966, but the Americans did try to land a few years before that, but failed.
In 1958, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was created (Timeline of Space Exploration 1). President John F. Kennedy decided he wanted to do something big before The United States lost the space race. He decided to invest a lot of time and money into putting the first man on the moon (Sorensen 1). A series of missions known as Apollo were announced to help put man on the moon. On the mission Apollo 11 in 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin become the first men to walk on the moon, while Michael Collins orbits around the moon alone (Timeline of Space Exploration 2).
Landsat and Apollo: The Forgotten Legacy Paul D. Lowman, Jr. Abstract This paper demonstrates that Landsat was fundamentally a result of the Apollo Program. The U.S. Geological Survey's EROS proposal of 1966, which eventually led to Landsat, was stimulated largely by the demonstrated utility of 1100 orbital photographs from the Gemini missions, Gemini being solely preparation for Apollo. In addition, Earth-oriented remote sensing research sponsored by NASA in the mid-1960s, primarily support for Apollo lunar missions, included studies of Earth resource applications as well. Finally, the extensive series of airborne remote sensing studies carried out by the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center was Apollo-derived in that the primary mission of
Oscar Mayer Bacon Ad Analysis Over the last decade, the United States as a nation has become obsessed with health. With obesity rates on the rise, healthful eating is a popular trend. As many people are aware, bacon is not “heart healthy” or “low calorie” but quite the opposite. Oscar Mayer fits into a group of food manufacturers who market products that are by no means good for one’s health. Because the Food and Drug Administration regulates the claims made about foodstuffs, these companies are forced to be creative and come up with witty advertising techniques.
The footage showed that the certain walking skipping techniques you see in the Apollo 11 footage were actually the most efficient way to move around in the moons gravity. Another conspiracy that viewers had was about 2 of the photos taken during the Apollo 11 mission, one of them being about the topography and light sources. On one of the photos you can see that the shadows of the space module and some of the lunar rocks on the moon’s surface have different directions. Conspiracy theorists say that you can’t have 2 different angled shadows from the same light source. The myth busters put this it the test buy building a model of the moon’s surface and used shifted the topography so that it showed to perpendicular shadows from the same light source.
The United States overtaking the Soviet Union was directly caused by the early portion of the space race, Project Gemini and Mercury buildings towards the Apollo 11 mission, and the manned mission to the moon. The Space Race began with the startling Soviet launch of Sputnik 1, the United
long antennas. It circled the earth every 98 minutes and used a radio beacon that could locate certain points on Earth’s surface. Though the messages the satellite sent were meaningless the shockwave of this technological feat was phenomenal. The US felt exposed with an enemy satellite flying over them every few hours. If the Soviets had the rocket power to send a satellite to space what could they do with atom bombs?
Space Race Explained In the 1950’s and 1960’s, the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in a contest. The space was rather primitive, to a degree. It focused on the naming of a country (countries) as superior over the others. Begun with the excuse of contributing, even if it was true, to international space science. Each accomplishment recognized represented an upgrade in score for those who were keeping tabs (everyone really).
Theorists claim that the extremely high levels of radiation would have cooked the astronauts if they had gone through it. 4. Slow Motion walking. In order to explain how NASA mimicked the low gravity conditions on the moon theorists contend wires and hidden cables were used to show the astronauts floating
Every dinner, lunch, and snack has become more efficient and become faster. The fast food industry is killing americans with their secrets. A hamburger and french fries have become the most common American meal since the 1950’s. However, what is rarely mentioned is the ingredients that they contain. All the juicy burgers and crispy golden fries never say where they come from or what ingredients they contain.
