Space RaceThe Space Race was an unofficial
competition between the United States and the USSR in space exploration and
technology, and especially to the race between the two nations to land a human
being on the moon in the second half of the 1960s. Many also consider this a race to
develop military technology to win the nuclear weapons arms race during the Cold War
The first human journey to the surface of the Moon began at Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center, Florida with the liftoff of Apollo 11 on a Saturn V booster at 9:32 a.m. EDT (13:32 UT) on a clear sunny Wednesday, 16 July 1969.
The picture above shows the crew of Apollo 11: Commander Neil A. Armstrong, 38, a civilian who'd flown previously on Gemini 8, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, 38, a USAF Lt. Colonel who'd flown Gemini 10, Lunar Module Pilot Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., 39, a USAF Colonel who'd flown Gemini 12. Photograph taken May 1, 1969
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”At 10:56 p.m. EDT on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the Moon.
Aldrin posed for this picture next to the U.S. flag. The rod to hold the flag out horizontally would not extend fully, so the flag ended up with a slight waviness, giving the appearance of being windblown. The flag itself was difficult to erect, it was very hard to penetrate beyond about 6 to 8 inches into the lunar soil.
Neil Armstrong took this picture of Edwin Aldrin, Showing a reflection in Aldrin's visor of Armstrong and the Lunar Module.The tasks assigned to both astronauts were carefully choreographed and practiced back on Earth, and Aldrin was busy setting up scientific experiments among other responsibilities.
