1. The purpose of the article Man Takes Fist Steps on the Moon by The Times is to announce to the audience the greatest moment of time, which is the moment when Neil Armstrong became the first man to take a walk on the moon’s surface. The interaction that the speaker, audience, and subject develop affects the text in a way that it accomplishes the purpose The Times had, and it also makes the text more interesting.
The purpose of the following speech revealed in 1999, prepared by President’s Nixon’s writer, William Safire is to honor these brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin for doing such a dangerous job of going to moon and be the first men to step on the moon’s surface. The text was This speech also appeals to logos by saying that “In the ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations”. It is using facts from the past that are true as a result the audience most likely will believe what is being said. Pathos is also used in this speech, the audience feels sorry or sad when the speaker says this “These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know hat there is no hope for their recovery”. When he says these the audience automatically feels sorry.
The commentary by novelist Ayn Rand uses ethos when she says “That we had seen a demonstration of man at his bets, no one could doubt—this was the cause of the event’s attraction and of the stunned numbed state in which it left us. And no one could doubt that we had seen an achievement of man in his capacity as a rational being—an achievement of reason, of logic, of mathematics, of total dedication to the absolutism of reality”. Rand saying this makes the audience trust her and believe her because of the diction she uses and also because she is Ayn Rand. This commentary also appeals to logos because of the logical statement that she uses at the beginning “‘No matter what discomforts and expenses you had to bear to come here,’ said a NASA guide to a group of guests, at the conclusion of a tour of the Space Center on Cape Kennedy, on July 15, 1969, ‘there will be seven minutes tomorrow morning that

The Apollo 11 launch date had arrived with just months to spare: Nine years earlier, U.S. President John F. Kennedy had said that by the end of the decade the country would put a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth.

Armstrong’s welcomed their third child, son Mark! . Moon Landing: Armstrong faced an even bigger challenge in 1969. Along with Michael Collins and Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, he was part of NASA's first manned mission to the moon. The trio were launched into space on July 16, 1969. Serving as the mission's commander, Armstrong piloted the Lunar Module to the moon's surface on July 20, 1969, with Buzz Aldrin aboard. Collins remained on the Command Module. At 10:56 PM, Armstrong exited the Lunar Module…
who it involves, could drastically change the way people think about the government and other contributors. In 1969, President John F. Kennedy sent Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins on the Apollo 11 spaceship to the moon. The famous quote, “Thats one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” as Neil Armstrong was stepping off the Apollo 11 spacecraft on to the moon for the first time ever by the hu- man race. Now overtime, many people believe that the government…

Buddhism (Goodwin and Bradley, 2012.) The apex of the hippie movement is considered to be the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, or Woodstock Festival. It was a music festival that was held for three days at Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in the town of Bethel in 1969. The original site that the festival was to be held at was Wallkill, but the citizens of Wallkill did not want a bunch of drugged hippies wreaking havoc on their town, so they backed out. In a panic, hippies involved in the festival wanted refunds…

July 20th 1969 marked the…
Space Exploration When Galileo trained his telescope on the skies in 1609, a thin veil was lifted. What had appeared to the human eye for centuries as a decorative dome became a vast universe of real worlds to explore. Gradually, Engineers and scientists became convinced that the barriers to space flight could be overcome. (Neal: 13) Who would build the machines that could ascend beyond our atmosphere and into space? Early in the twentieth century several brilliant theorists made parallel progress…
To this day, 20% of Americans believe that the moon landing was a hoax. However, those people seem to miss that the moon hoax would have been impossible. Some people say that in 1969, it was impossible to send someone to the moon but it was possible to fake it on video. This is in fact, the exact opposite of what is true. Since the 1920s, engineers were busy trying to improve liquid fuel rockets. They wanted to go to the outer space. By 1943, there was already a fully functional rocket that could…
