'What exactly was Apollo 11? Apollo 11 was the shoesflight that all(a)owed the starting line manpower to land on the mope. The ship set down on the moon on June 20th, 1969, and is considered to be the superior accomplishment in exploring history for mankind. The ship was launched in Florida on June 16th and was the third heraldic bearing in NASA’s Apollo program. And by June 21st, Neil Armstrong and his conspiracy were the first men in history to walk on the moon. The crew returned home with 47. 5 pounds of lunar rocks for scientist here to field of honor ab come to the fore the lunar surface.\r\nThe main purpose of this mission was to beat the Soviet Union in the space race, or race to the moon, and was fulfilled to John F. Kennedy’s expectations. He was quoted saying in front of congress, â€Å"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this ecstasy is out, of landing a man on the lunation and returning him safely to the Earth. ” And he proved to the familiar that the States was still the leader in attainment, and could out do enemies of the United States.\r\nIn the time result before the Apollo mission, when it was still on the drawing board, the presidential term was pouring billions of dollars into the education system, especially into math and science so that the engineers coming into the space program at NASA would already have a head start. This is relevant to today, because the government is desperately trying to raise America’s math and science test haemorrhoid so that we can compete with scores of some other countries like China and Korea. The crew of the Apollo 11 consisted of 3 men.\r\nNeil Armstrong (Commander), Michael Collins (Command Module Pilot), and Edwin Aldrin Jr. (Lunar Module Pilot). whole these men had been on space flights before devising the Apollo 11 only the second all old stager crew in spaceflight history.

That’s how they intend out where to place the EASEP or Early Apollo scientific Experiment Package, and the famous United States flag. Contrary to what you would think, the astronauts declared that moving around on the moon was no problem at all, considering that the gravity on the moon is 1/6 the gravity here on Earth. After the planting of the flag, the crew took part in a â€Å"long distance phone shriek” with President Nixon in the White House.\r\nNixon referred to the call as, â€Å"The almost Historic Phone Call Ever make From The Whi te House. ” Nixon then gave a brief mother tongue and then hung up because he wanted to regress respect to Kennedy and allow the lunar mission to be his legacy. The landing on the moon changed the populations perception of the universe, it excessively gave U. S. citizens a sense of superiority over all the other countries in the world. It showed that if you work hard exuberant then you can’t be laced down by boundaries.\r\n'
