“apollo 11”

*20 JULY 1969*

.

*ASTRONAUTS* –>

“NEIL ARMSTRONG”

“BUZZ ALDRIN”

.

(“apollo 11” was the ‘spaceflight’ that landed the first 2 humans on ‘the moon’) 

.

(mission commander ‘Neil Armstrong’ and pilot ‘Buzz Aldrin’, both American, landed the lunar module Eagle on 20 july 1969, at 20:18 UTC)
(8:18PM UTC)

(meaning it was 4:18PM eastern standard time)

(how many people watched?)
(how much did people know about the planned moon landing?)
(was it kept under wraps to conceal NASA innovations from russia)

*THEORIES* –>

(“capitalist research model”)
(the belief that competition between countries accelerates innovation)
(or on a micro-level competition between individual scientists could fuel innovation)
(akin to “wishing” you wrote a certain song)
(not considering monetary benefits but rather conveying implication that you would have liked to get CREDIT for that song)
(a necessary drive for artists?)
(or humans in general)

OR

(“socialist research model”)
(if all government officials stopped worrying about “who would get the credit” then there could be a more open exchange of discoveries)
(by providing research to a larger # of humans there is a greater chance for collective innovation)

(‘armstrong’ became the first to step onto the lunar surface 6 hours after landing on 21 july 1969 at 02:56:15 UTC; ‘Aldrin’ joined him about 20 minutes later)

(they spent about 135 minutes together outside the ‘spacecraft’, and collected 47.5 pounds (21.5 kg) of ‘lunar material’ to bring back to ‘Earth’)

(‘Michael Collins’ piloted the command module Columbia alone in ‘lunar orbit’ while they were on the Moon’s surface)

(‘Armstrong’ and ‘Aldrin spent; just under a day on the lunar surface before rejoining Columbia in ‘lunar orbit’)

(‘Apollo 11’ was launched by a ‘Saturn V’ rocket from ‘Kennedy Space Center’ in ‘Merritt Island’, ‘Florida’, on “16 july 1969”, and was the 5th manned mission of NASA’s ‘Apollo’ program)

(the ‘Apollo’ spacecraft had 3 parts: a ‘command module’ (CM) with a cabin for the 3 astronauts, and the only part that landed back on ‘Earth’; a ‘service module’ (SM), which supported the ‘command module’ with ‘propulsion’, ‘electrical power’, ‘oxygen’, and ‘water’; and a ‘lunar module’ (LM) that had 2 ‘stages’ – a ‘lower stage’ for landing on ‘the moon’, and an ‘upper stage’ to place the astronauts back into ‘lunar orbit’)

(after being sent toward ‘the moon’ by the Saturn V’s ‘upper stage’, the astronauts separated the spacecraft from it and traveled for 3 days until they entered into ‘lunar orbit’)

(‘Armstrong’ and ‘Aldrin’ then moved into the lunar module Eagle and landed in the ‘Sea of Tranquility’)

(they stayed a total of about 21.5 hours on the ‘lunar surface’)

(the astronauts used Eagle’s ‘upper stage’ to lift off from the lunar surface and rejoin ‘Collins’ in the ‘command module’)

(they jettisoned Eagle before they performed the maneuvers that blasted them out of lunar orbit on a trajectory back to ‘Earth’)

(they returned to ‘Earth’ and landed in the ‘Pacific Ocean’ on ’24 JULY 1969′)

(the landing was broadcast on live TV to a worldwide audience)

(‘Armstrong’ stepped onto the lunar surface and described the event as “1 small step for [a] man, 1 giant leap for mankind”)

(”apollo 11′ effectively ended the ‘space race’ and fulfilled a national goal proposed in 1961 by U.S. President ‘John F. Kennedy’: “before this decade is out, of landing a man on ‘the moon’ and returning him safely to the ‘earth’)
