The Soviet Union and the US Cold War were the occasion of the Moon Mission


New York, July 20, 2021, Tuesday

During the first half of the 20th century, many countries were witnessing the sunset of colonialism. A new geography was emerging in the world after World War II. The communism of the Soviet Union and the capitalism of the United States were dominating based on the system of governance. At such a time, the world was divided into two parts, either with the United States or with the Soviet Union. From economics, art, literature, sports to science and research, the superpowers began to cut throat. It was also part of a competition for a man to wake up and reach the moon. Russia has launched an artificial satellite called Sputnik.


Russian scientists also traveled in space aboard the spacecraft. Until then he also experimented with taking an animal into space. The Soviet Union's all-round progress and achievements in the field of space science put enormous pressure on the United States to do space exploration. It was from this that the Moon Mission took shape. US President John F. Kennedy addressed the Senate in 181. "I believe that the United States should achieve its goal of bringing the first man to the moon safely by the end of this decade,"


NASA spacecraft flew from Florida to the moon on July 16 under the Apollo 11 mission. The spacecraft, which was traveling to the same moon, was televised. More than 200 million people around the world watched the event on TV. The then US President Richard Nixon watched the Moon visit from the Oval Office of the White House. The three crew members on board were Neil Armstrong, Edwin A. Aldrin and Michael Collins. Neil was assigned as Commander-in-Chief of the Apollo 11 mission.

Meanwhile, two astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Aldrin, were walking on the lunar surface. Neil felt that the surface of the moon was like powder. While Collins was sitting in the spacecraft orbiting the orbit. The astronauts returned to the earth from the moon on July 6. At the same time, America became the first country in the world to send a human to the moon. The astronauts brought 31.5 kilograms of soil from the rough surface of the moon. This clay was distributed to scientists and researchers around the world for research.
