A landmark event in the history of human civilization: the lunar conquest of man (July 20, 1969, man first set foot on the lunar surface.)
The Second  episode:
There are many events in the world that take place in the pages of human history in such a way that they became immortal in the pages of history in the same way that the kings of those ancient times used to carve their legends. In human civilization, it has been shining like a star in the sky from time immemorial. One such unimaginable event in the recent history of human civilization is the lunar conquest of man. It was not even in our imagination that people would tremble on the moon. July 20 marks the 52nd anniversary of Chandra Vijay. Here are the memories of that unforgettable event.

 


 
July 20, 1989. On this day (July 21, Bangladesh time), American astronauts Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin (1930-) became immortalized in the pages of history as the first humans to land on the moon. Six-and-a-half hours later, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. giant leap for mankind. "



President John F. Kennedy (1917-1973) announced that the United States would send people to the moon before the end of the 1960s. To this end, he proposed in a special session of Congress on May 25, 1971, to send American astronauts to the moon. The lunar conquest of the Apollo 11 mission took place eight years later.



Fifty years ago, NASA was competing with the former Soviet Union to send people to the moon. It was an uneven journey to save the honor of President Kennedy's promise to keep pace with the times. Eight astronauts and future astronauts were killed in plane crashes and during space tests, and many NASA staff and station crew died in various accidents. In the previous decade of the Apollo project, dozens of test pilots were killed during various types of spaceflight tests. With a new type of jet engine they were finally able to overcome the noise barrier and achieve supersonic speeds, Howard C. "Tick" Lilly was the fourth person to overcome the noise barrier. But the test pilot "Tick" Lilly went to test a Douglas D-558-1 on May 3, 1948. The plane crashed due to engine problems and the test pilot "Tick" Lilly was killed.


 


              
The biggest accident of the Apollo mission happened on the eve of the Apollo-1 flight. Three astronauts, Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee, died in a fire in the cockpit on January 26, 1967 - yet they did not leave the ground. They were then preparing to run a test to go upstairs with their seat belts fastened on the command module.
In the words of space historian John Logsdon (Professor Emeritus at George Washington University), "Apollo's approach was incomparable. It was a war in which the army was in a position to attack or attack any major battle. "



The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was formed in the late 1940s, which was later transformed into NASA in 1958.
On July 20, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong landed on an eagle to land on the moon and was honored as the first man to walk on the moon. Armstrong traveled nearly 240,000 miles to reach more than a billion people. Armstrong passed away on August 25, 2012.

The First man on the Moon Pstage Stamps I Lunar Conquest of Man on Stamps

 While few events compare to the famous actions of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin Aldrin Jr, during the Apollo 11 mission, the release of the stamp celebrating the Moon landing marked an important event for the philatelic world. The stamp, released on September 9, 1969, was made from the same master die that the astronauts took with them to the moon. Additionally, it was the largest stamp the United States had issued up to that point.

 Preparation Gemini-6 Mission

 The Gemini VIII spacecraft launched in 1968 with two astronauts, Command Pilot Neil Armstrong and Pilot David Scott, in a three-day space mission.  On the same day, another unmanned spacecraft named Agena was launched.  The Agena was launched on March 17, 1986 at 10:00 AM.  One hour and forty-one minutes later, the Gemini VIII was launched.  It was a complex task because the countdown to the launch of two spacecraft was going on simultaneously - Ajina on the Atlas rocket and Gemini-6 on the Titan rocket.  Another was the launch from Cape Kennedy (now Cape Canaveral) Air Force Station, the Mission Control Station in Houston, and the submarines around the world - all of which were followed by a network of two vehicles.



 The purpose of the Gemini-6 crew was to bring these two spacecraft together during the fourth rotation in Earth orbit.  This technology and sophistication of space was very important for keeping human feet on the moon in the future.  Moreover, it was necessary for this reunion to take place in order to land on the International Space Station.  This was the first time that two spacecraft met in space.  Catching Ezina, who is orbiting the earth, and reuniting with her was vital to the success of the lunar conquest.  David Scott's other job was to go out of Gemini and do some work in space-it was for more than two hours.  Test to remove the adapter from the front of the Gemini and run another test on the Aegina.  Scott Gemini returned to the spacecraft's adapter to have the auxiliary equipment ready for further testing.



 In October 1986, the Apollo 7, the first manned spacecraft, orbited the Earth, and experiments with various types of modern equipment were completed.  All of these instruments will play a role in the lunar mission and landing on the moon.  In March 1989, the Apollo-9 Lunar module was tested for the first time in Earth orbit.  In May of that year, three astronauts orbited the moon in a full-fledged Apollo-10 spacecraft.  It was a pre-lunar mission to the moon next July.

 Apollo 11 was launched from the Kennedy Space Center on July 17, 1989 at 9:32 a.m. (Eastern time).  He was accompanied by astronauts Neil Armstrong-Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Among them was 36-year-old Neil Armstrong, a private research pilot.



 After traveling 240,000 miles for 6 hours, Apollo 11 entered lunar orbit on July 19. The next day, July 20, 1989, at 1:48 p.m., the Lunar module detached the Eagle from the Armstrong and Aldrin Command modules, and Collins remained there for two hours.  The eagle begins to land on the moon.  At 4:16 a.m., the eagle touched the moon's southwestern side of the Moon's Tranquility.  At the same time, Armstrong made the famous quote on the Houston-Texas Mission Control radio, "The Eagle has landed."

 At 10:39 pm, 5 hours before the scheduled time, Armstrong opened the lid of the lunar module.  As he descended on the moon's orbit, the camera on the side of the spacecraft was recording his movements and sending them to Earth instantly.  There were thousands of waiting spectators watching it with eager interest.  At 10:56 p.m., when Armstrong stepped on the moon's gray surface from the ladder, he uttered his famous quote, albeit with some ambiguity at the microphone, that "a small step by man, a great crossing for mankind."



 After 19 minutes, Baz Aldrin joins Armstrong on the moon. They photographed the vast expanse of land around them, planted a U.S. flag pole on the moon, conducted some general scientific experiments, and accompanied President Nixon (1913-1994) through the Houston Control Station.

 At 1:11 a.m.,  on July 21, two astronauts returned to the lunar spacecraft and closed the lid.  The two slept on the moon that night and started flying to return to the Chandrayaan Eagle Command module at 1:54 p.m.  Among the items left on the lunar surface was a plaque that read, "Here is the first man from the planet Earth to set foot on the moon in July 1979 - we came here for the peace of the whole human race." At 5:35 p.m.  Crowded with success, they join Collins.  At 12:57 a.m. on July 22, the Apollo 11 spacecraft began its journey home.  On July 24, 1989, the Apollo 11 Command Module capsule crashed into the Pacific Ocean at 12:50 p.m.




 After that five more successful lunar missions were completed.  Only Apollo 13 could not land on the moon due to a mechanical fault.  The last astronauts to land on the moon were Eugene Cernan (1934-2017) and Harrison Schmitt.  They were on the Apollo 17 mission.  They left the lunar surface on December 14, 1982.

 The Apollo program was a very costly and laborious endeavor.  4 lakh engineers, technicians and scientists were involved in this Apollo program.  And the cost was  24 billion, which is equivalent to  100 billion today.  In return for this huge sum, however, Kennedy's 1971 promise that the United States would send people to the moon in the 1960s and defeat the Soviet Union was considered reasonable.


 Why did the United States stop sending people to the moon?  On the one hand, the Vietnam War was going on, on the other hand, the American people were protesting against this war, rioting was taking place in the streets.  After Chandra's victory, the Congress could not find any reason to spend money on the Apollo project.  It has already spent 30 billion and has never returned to the moon since the astronauts were launched from the moon on December 14, 1972.  Apart from this, the interest and enthusiasm of the people was declining.
