Hello, this is a web site all about Apollo 11! This includes pictures, links to websites with further information, quotes, and -of course- information about the Apollo Moon Landing . The creator of this website is me, Faith Quinlisk. The reason I chose this project is because space seemed like an unreachable goal, yet America penetrated it's boundaries. Further than that, they reached the mysterious silver orb that has hung in the sky for decades and decades and decades! Apollo 11 was the key to this success.
On July 20 1969, the Apollo 11 rocket was launched and –in a few weeks- landed on the moon. This was a turning point in American and world history because, not only did it result in the first successful expedition to the moon, but many changes in world politics and culture also resulted from this event. For instance; toys, movies, songs, books, even fashion saw changes after Apollo 11. Most significantly, the image of the United States beating the Russians in the space race to the moon was beamed around the world doing much to increase the perceived power and technological advancements of the United States.
