Apollo 11

According to The Onion the plaque stated: "This plaque, placed here by two visiting human beings from the planet around which this celestial body orbits, will rest undisturbed on this spot for the next 100 million years. High holy living fuck. Can you believe that shit?" Even though many people don't know what exactly was written on that plaque, they know that the last half wasn't. This was most likely changed to eliminate the sentimentality and bring out a laugh or two. Normally this event is romanticized but that's why The Onion added the vulgarity to it, to make it humorous and to poke fun at it.
             In 1961, President Kennedy committed the United States to the goal of landing a man on the moon and bringing them safely back to earth by the end of the decade. He did this in response to the Russians putting a man-made satellite into earth's orbit and thus committed the United States to beat the Russian's to the moon. On July 20, 1969 his dream came true and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set down the Lunar Lander on the plains of the Sea of Tranquility on the lunar surface. .
             The Apollo project was a publicly funded program with the objective of landing humans on the moon before the Russians. Not only was this a monumental moment in history but it is also said to have started human exploration of the solar system. This was and still is considered a "landmark in the management of large, complex programs," because never before was such a large program so successful (Mendell) . Even today the effects of this event are still around us, this led to breakthroughs in scientific understanding of planetary processes and the origin of the solar system. .
             The Apollo 11 spacecraft was launched by a three-stage Saturn V rocket which created 7.5 million pounds of thrust at takeoff, stood 363 feet tall, and weighed more that 3,000 tons. The three stages are the Service Module, the Lunar Module and the Command Module which was the only part of the entire assembly to return to earth.
