You follow Sally s eyes that have wandered to the windowsill on which is perched a bronze bust of astronaut Neil Armstrong. On the adjacent wall is a picture of Robert Kennedy, Herbert Hoover, and Nikita Khrushchev boarding a flying saucer. 

By linking the chains to one another at various points to form a network, silicones can be solidifled into soft rubbers and resins. Silicone rubber is the ideal sealant for kitchens and bathrooms, as it is non-toxic and water-repellent. Its non-flammability recommends it for fire-fighting suits, and it gained a little glamour in 1969 when Neil Armstrong took his small step for a man wearing silicone boots. 

The moon is the closest and best-known object in the sky and is also earth s constant companion. It was considered a battered and forbidden place. Valiant efforts and voluminous research conducted by various astronomers and scientists specially after the landing of American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on July 20, 1969 on the surface of the moon, suggest that its surface is extremely rough and consists of millions of rocks and craters. The rocks are...

After hydrogen inflated balloons, this was another revolution in the field of transportation afforded by hydrogen. Liquid propulsion was instrumental in enabling the race to the moon that led the astronaut Neil Armstrong to walk on our satellite on 21 July 1968 with the Apollo XI mission.

Questions about the manageability of complex technologies have caused many people to ask whether there were inherently safer ways to provide food, shelter, energy, transportation, and consumer products. And since the United States had put Neil Armstrong on the moon in 1969, the question was phrased, If we can put a man on the moon, shouldn t we be able to invent nondestructive technologies ... 

Photo of Edwin Buzz Aldrin taken by Neil Armstrong in July 1969. Armstrong s reflection may be seen in Aldrin s visor. The suits worn by Armstrong and Aldrin during the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon appear to be massive. But because the mass of the Moon is only 1/81 that of Earth and the acceleration due to gravity is only 1/6 that on Earth, the weight of the suits on the Moon was only 1/6 of their weight on Earth. The mass of the suits, however, was identical in both locations. 

Many people tried to disprove this association, and controversy raged over statistical methods. Ultimately, the phenomenon held up and became known as the Mars effect. Athletes who have an angular Mars include Tiger Woods, Muhammad Ali, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon (and yes, in my opinion, he counts as an athlete). 

Neil Armstrong is an American icon. He will always be symbolically linked to our aeronautics program. This astronaut and naval aviator is known for being the first human to set foot on the Moon. 

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon, where they collected soil and rock samples, took pictures, and performed experiments. 

One of the most famous footprints in the world— that made by Neil Armstrong during his landing on the Moon in 1969—was made with a boot with a silicone rubber sole. 

In spite of these obstacles, the first lunar module. Eagle, landed on the surface of the moon on July 20, 1969. The next day, astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped out of the spacecraft and onto the moon. The words he spoke are now famous "That s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind" (Figure 1-2).

Let s move to a vantage point a little quieter the surface of the moon. It is so still that Neil Armstrong s footprints remain undisturbed. The only reason the US flag there appears to fly is that a wire holds it up. 

The power of future talk is illustrated by President John F. Kennedy s vision, stated on May 25, 1961, that by the end of the decade the United States would put people on the moon and return them safely to earth. Many thought this prediction was absurd. While the Russians had completed several successful space missions at the time, America lagged behind in the "space race." Renowned U.S. scientists warned that a moon landing was impossible because of insufficient fuel and computer technology. Yet, on July 20,1969, the world watched in awe when astronaut Neil Armstrong took that "giant leap for mankind" and planted an American flag on the moon. 

Space exploration efforts have been very well publicized in recent years, and have included such notable developments, in addition to Sputnik, as the launching of manned rockets (with the first astronauts Yuri Gagarin in the Soviet Union and Alan Shepard in the United Sates), the Apollo missions to the moon (with Neil Armstrong s momentous first step), the Russian and...
