July 20, 1969 man first step foot on the moon. This was a great day for not only America, but all man kind. As Kennedy said “We don’t do these things because they are easy. We do them because they are hard. I may just be a kid, but I know a tone about the moon landing that day and I am going to tell you in as much detail as I can the way it happened with the info I know.
From the info I know, Neil and Buzz were beginning there desent down to the surface of the moon when a program alarm went off. The alarm was program alarm 1202. This alarm meant the computer had to many things to do and it was coming close to shutting down. Another alarm went off, 1201 which meant that the computer would almost completely shut down. Back at mission control, everyone was trying to solve the problem. Gene Kranz, mission commander, figured out that the computer was doing so many things that it was dropping things. First crisis averted.
The second problem was the landing. “The computer was heading us to foot ball sized craters.” Neil Armstrong. They used most of there fuel trying to find a landing site. They did find a site, but with only a little bit more than a minute left of fuel. They almost had to abort the mission. Before they landed on the moon Gene Kranz told that no one could leave or enter the control room till one of three things happened. We had eather landed, crashed, or aborted. They did it they landed with about 17 seconds till the abort.
So that is how I heard it, that is how from all my facts we landed on the moon. This proved we can accomplish anything we set our minds to. It proved we can break free of our own planets gravity and travel to another planet. Our next challenge is heading towards Mars.
I got this from the Discovery Channel show. When We Left Earth.
Well I am going to High school next year. It feels like yesterday I just finished my 6th grade year in middle school. I have many memories here, but the one that I won’t forget for a while is the memories with my friends. At least 3 of my best friends are going to a different high school than I am. Still I have a few other friends coming to the same school I am. I think the best memory for me was when the 6 of us were at lunch playing with our gameboys and chatting. One of the kids bragged about how he thinks he is the most popular kid in school, but we knew he wasn’t. I will miss those days. I hope I still see my friends from time to time. I will miss middle school.
Here is an interesting question for you. Do you think the United States government should become more or less democratic? In different categories I say more, but others less. It should be more democratic in making laws, because we should have a say in what the laws should be. What should be less democratic is the judicial branch because the government should be the ones to decide what will happen to the person being prosecuted or accused.
If the Electoral College was abolished, and people directly elected the President, what should the qualification be to vote in a Presidential Election?
The first thing is you should be 18 or older to vote. ( I WANT THAT LAW TO BE LOWERED TO AGE 13.) The second thing is that you have to be an American Citizen to vote.
That is a hard one. I think the most dangerous question are actually2 questions. The first one is, What are you truly thinking. The other one is, What are your deepest thoughts.
I will never forget that time. We were forcibly pushed out of our land by people with guns with spiky points under an order by a man named Andrew Jackson who made the Indian Removal Act. They took our land for farming. I can’t forget the families digging graves for there loved ones. I had to do dig graves for some of my own family. We are heading west to our new land. We are going to join the west Cherokee. The winter was hard and cold. People were dieing like flies. No matter what challenges lie ahead we will not quit till we find hope. It’s a hard journey, but we will be the ones that proval in the end.
Remember this isn’t a real story but just a pretend story about that man.
