===The first man on the moon is a controversial topic. This historical event happened on July 16, 1969 at 9:32 in the morning. The Apollo 11 Mission became the most famous mission to space when Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin were the first two men to step out on to the moon. This is a powerful image because this was man's first time to the moon and America proved that they had won The Space Race. Even though the Soviet Union called a bluff. The Apollo 11 Mission is one of those topics where you have to use your best judgment on wether or not that it was a hoax or if it was legit. === ===Neil A. Armstrong was the first man to officially step onto the moon. He was born on August 5, 1930. He started his NASA career in Ohio. Over the next 17 years he was a number of different things. He was an engineer, a test pilot, an astronaut, and an administrator for NACA. He was also a professor at the University of Cincinnati during the years 1971 and 1979. He was and still is a very accomplished man. He started out as an plain Joe and is now one the most famous people in the world. His words "This is one small step for man. One giant leap for mankind", is one of the most famous quotes in history. He truly did make the history books for a reason. === === Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin was the second man to walk on the moon. He was born on January 20, 1930. He has two sons, and one daughter. He got a Bachelor Degree in Science in 1951. Prior to his career in NASA, he flew 66 combat missions in F-86's while duty in Korea. He was the lunar module pilot for the Apollo 11 Mission. Buzz Aldrin is a historical figure for many reasons. He once said, "We can continue to try and clean up the gutters all over rthe world and spend all of our resources looking at just the dirty spots and trying to make them clean. Or we can lift our eyes up and look into the skies and move forward in an evolutionary way.", and this is a very motivational quote. He is making people realize that there is so much more out there and all we need is those people who are willing to go and find out. === === The Space Race and the conspiracy all falls into one category. The Space Race was between us, the United States, and the Soviet Union (USSR). The goal was to get to the moon first and in the beginning, the USSR was in the lead. Then all of the sudden, BAM!, the U.S. was on the moon. That was when the conspiracy came into play. The Soviet Union called a bluff beacuse there was no way that we could have landed on the moon that quickly. They thought that we just wanted to prove to them that we were better and faster then them. Well, a famous theroist by the name of Ralph Rene commented about the U.S faking the landing. He made several good points, one of them being that there isn't suppose to be wind on the moon, but the flag was fluttering? But if you think about it, there is also no gravity on the moon so flag wouldn't be just hanging there. Also, someone had mentioned that they saw a wire on the side of the flag to keep it up. Hmmm.. Everyone has there own opinion about it. Mr. Longhurst doesn't think that it is fake and I know that many people support him on that. It is one of those things were you have to use your own personal judgement and decide wether or not it is true. So in the end, the United States won the Space Race in July of 1969. === === ﻿The first man to step onto the moon is a very controversial topic. Everything from the conspiracy to the men who actually were there. The Apollo 11 Mission became the most famous mission to space because of Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin were the first two men to step out on to the moon. America had proved that they were the better country when they won The Space Race, but that also caused the conspiracy. The End! ===
