Abstract
1960s were the years of space exploration. During the entire decade, the USSR and the United States of America were competing in exploring the space. In the first part of the decade, it seemed that the USSR had the benefit. However, the second part of the decade changed everything. In 1969, the first men landed on the Moon – the Earth satellite. However, this is only an episode in the United States Moon exploration program. These were the first steps to land a human being on the Moon. The next step was taken the next year. In 1968, Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders on the board of the Apollo 8 were the first men who entered the orbit of the satellite and saw the far side of the Moon. There has been a long road to sending a person to the Moon. However, the NASA managed to send a starship with men on it rather early, regarding the amount of time given for this task.
Although, in the first half of the decade, it seemed that the USSR had a benefit. The USSR launched the first satellite, as well as they sent the first man to the Earth orbit. However, the second decade changed everything. When researching this issue, it seemed that patriotism and love to the country and the nation helped scientists and engineers develop the spaceship, which brought the first Americans to the Moon. At the beginning of the decade, in 1961, President Kennedy held a speech. He promised to do everything possible and impossible to send a man to the Moon until the end of the 1960s.
Most of the people know only about the man landing on the Moon. However, the exploration program of the Moon started several years before the landing. It is interesting to know all the steps and stages that were taken before the Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. stepped the Moon. The research of the issue helped me realize that Americans have always been proud of the nation, and done everything they could to make the country the leading in the world.
Successful landing of 12 astronauts was made possible after spending 25 billion dollars. It covered the era between 1969 and 1972, when five victorious landing could be possible. Further, it paved the way to new space operations for future generation. However, some opponents have been arguing after 30 years of over man landing on moon (Yates, n.p).
Let us take a quick view on some arguments, which had been raised to question the genuineness of this operation. In 1969, expertise and technology owned by NASA was not competitive enough to attain this achievement. NASA’s operation was limited to earth orbit and they did not even start thinking to propel man on the moon. The video recordings of man landing seemed to be shot in the studio (earth) rather than moon. It had some mechanical faults, for example, the footsteps could be seen while the dust should have blown away, no rocket trail from the unit could be seen which should have exploded off the land surface (Australian skeptics, n.p)..
The pictures shot by worldwide posting, the Hubble Space device, MIR, or space-vehicle, did not show any stars in the setting, the astronauts’ shades spotted from one particular way show the inaccuracy of the images, image showed American banner as fluttering on the vacant environment of the moon. In addition, there is no likelihood to endure the rotary motion the Van Allen Belt (Yates, n.p).
On the other hand, few proofs confirm the genuineness of the man landing 6 Apollo operation provided 382 KGS of planetary substance had been examined by Soviet Union Academy of sciences along with various worldwide experts. The model of stone provided by brought to earth was substantially and physically appeared to buildup in a different atmosphere. It was impossible to shoot even the largest pieces of gears from earth through the most resourceful device. Besides, there were also validations provided to justify the endurance of rotary motion the Ven Allen Belt (Yates, n.p)
Astronauts required equipments during earth track, moon landings and astrophysical track. TFE monofilament is used in a Velcro patch in manufacturing their shoes to keep the balance and position buoyant surroundings (Du Pont, n.p).
At the beginning of 1960s, the developments of the lasers as well as the idea of landing man with equipments took place. The perception of planetary beam assortments was introduced by Alley and his contemporaries, which defines landing of space-vehicle an assortment of retroreflectors on the moon while the indication is gauged by shooting a laser ray targeting it. An assortment of beams and their investigation would be provided a constant and superior base by the moon. The perception of planetary beam assortments was introduced by Alley and his contemporaries, which defines landing of space-vehicle an assortment of retroreflectors on the moon, while the indication is gauged by shooting a laser ray targeting at it. The fundamental objective of the laser research was analyzing universal relativity. This undertaking is still in the process since the next day after when Apollo landed on moon, on July 20, 1969. Vibrations in the rotary motion are expected by scientists disclosing the moon’s core and clarify if moon is traveling away from earth or not (Benningfield, 2009).
