withdrawal of troops and pledges to

provide continued economic assistance to

the South Vietnamese government he

offers to bring North Vietnam and South

Vietnam to the negotiating table and

nuclear threats the war continues by

of insects and constant rain the road

paved on both sides by landmines and

enemy troops entrenched in underground

tunnels conspire to make the trip to the

top of the hill a real nightmare for the

young American soldiers the military

action is considered unnecessary and

absurd and protests escalate in the

another continent American feminists

have been fighting for

years by

the real situation of American women in

her famous famous essay Feminine

Mystique in the study she refers to

women as part of the silent

generation Housewives spouses and

mothers surrounded by appliances diapers

makeup and cleaning products with no

personal interests beside their homes

this way of life drives many to the

psychiatrist couch suffering from severe

depression neurosis and anxiety although

the medical diagnosis points to to

sexual issues freeden goes further and

blames the disorders on the lack of

opportunity for women to develop as

individuals other than their role as

Homemakers according to Betty frieden

these conditions affect women without

distinction of academic background or

social

class on April 10th

1969 man conquers the

moon on July 16th the Apollo 11 mission

is launched from Cape Canaveral Florida

and after 4 days and 6 hours two

astronauts land on the surface of the

Moon marking one of the most significant

ific moments of the 20th century the

heroes of the mission are Neil Armstrong

commander-in-chief Edwin Buzz Aldren

pilot of the lunar module eagle and

Michael Collins pilot of the Command

Module Columbia in 2018 astronaut Buzz

Aldren recalled how relatively simple it

was to reach the moon we wore special

suits but in essence we kind of just

boarded the rocket pressed the requisite

buttons and we were

there for Aldren all the marriage go to

the NASA scientists LED at the time by

the engineer George Mueller who did the

hard

work however not everything was so

simple once the lunar module eagle

disengages from the Colombia the

astronauts prove their skills and

Professional Knowledge they avoid the

designated Landing site a crater full of

rocks that would have damaged the module

jeopardizing their safe return back home

Armstrong skillfully Maneuvers the

module changes course and lands on a

clear area of the Moon called The Sea of

tranquility tranquility base here the

eagle has

landed October 4th

1957 marks the beginning of the Space

Race that day the Soviet Union succeeds

in launching into space the first

artificial satellite in the history of

mankind the Sputnik one the news of the

launching quickly spreads across the

world the New York Stock Exchange CR

crashes and the New York Times claims

that the satellite places the world on a

race for

survival President Kennedy becomes the

new occupant of the White House in 1960

and by April 1961 after Yuri Gagarin

reaches space the Soviet Union is

clearly ahead in the Space Race the same

month and after the Bay of Pigs Fiasco

in Cuba Kennedy stands before Congress

and delivers a message I believe this

nation should commit itself to achieving

the goal before the decade is out of

Landing a man on the moon and returning

him safely to the Earth even after his

assassination in

1963 his words are not forgotten and by

1967 there are more than 400,000 people

working for NASA the tension provoked by

Kennedy's proposed deadline was immense

but the United States manages to meet

the challenge and puts a man on the moon

before the decade ends even though

President Kennedy himself was not there

to witness the feat on July 20th

1969 almost 600 million people watched

on their television sense as the first

man walked floating on the lunar

surface in addition to placing a flag

and leaving a memorial plaque with the

date of the achievement the astronauts

installed devices capable of colle

collecting samples and data to be

transmitted to Earth they set up a

nuclear particles detector and deployed

the solar wind composition experiment

developed in Switzerland to study the

solar wind when they return the crew

brings back lunar material that weighs

49 lb on the moon and 295 lb on Earth

the guidance computer used on the Apollo

11 Mission lacks usability and

preemptive multitasking so to perform

each operation the astronauts have to

enter commands that combine numbers and

verbs while repeating these commands out

loud so Houston can follow the operation

the technology used by the microchip

processor on the spaceship that took the

man to the Moon could be compared to the

technology used in a portable

calculator astronauts in space find

themselves in a completely different

reality one where the sun rises and sets

every 90 minutes and they're exposed to

to intense glare and solar winds charged

with

radiation the astronauts train their

muscles for microgravity and an aircraft

built to offer the experience of zero

gravity they learn fine motor skills to

manipulate among other things robotic

arms using heavy and bulky gloves on

their

hands they exercise by swimming and

lifting weights strengthening their

abdominal and back muscles so they can

turn Bend lift and transport large

objects and carry the approximately 280

lbs of a space

suit on July 22nd

1969 the astronauts leave the lunar

module board the Colombia and begin

their trip back home the eagle is

dropped on the moon and becomes scrap on

its

surface astronauts still have to

overcome Earth's atmosphere

entire

mission two days later on July 24th
