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.
