For most countries, the space race in the pastcentury represented great opportunities. A man's flight into space, the launch of a rocket to the moon - all this opened up great prospects in technological, military and economic terms. However, the main states, between which rivalry developed in space, were only two of the world's leading states. The Soviet Union made the first series of victorious achievements, but after the United States seized the initiative and were able to launch a man on the moon. The flight to the Moon of Americans became a milestone in the technological achievements of mankind.
Now the site Wechoosethemoon is functioning.The launch of the Apollo 11 rocket can be seen live on it. Let's leave theories about shooting a movie to the moon instead of a conscientious journey to the satellite of the Earth for lovers to search everywhere for the dishonest trick and intrigues of evil enemies, and in the meantime we will make a little digression into history and go to the not so distant 1969, when Neil Armstrong took the first step on the lunar surface.
The first disembarkation of a man to the moon occurredJuly 20, 1969 and the crew of the "Appolon-11," a space shuttle that was built by the Americans, were three people. Actually, two astronauts stepped onto the lunar surface. The third remained in the shuttle and controlled the successful passage of the landing. The very first step on the moon was made by Neil Armstrong, and this name is now known practically to the whole civilized society.
During the landing of the Apollo 11 "astronautsmade a set of soil, which was collected in the subsequent disembarkation of other "Appolon", a total of about 400 kilograms. During the "sorties" made, the astronauts not only went, but also traveled by satellite on the moon rover. After five launched Appolons (the last official was the seventeenth), the space program was curtailed and the shuttle launches stopped. The official version is that the Americans have chosen the urgent problems of the economy, and the space explorations made have already been too expensive. And although the program stopped, but, nevertheless, contemporaries do not take into account the fact that the studies made at that moment, as well as the money allocated for the scientific achievements of that time, served as a huge base for the modern world with all its technical "chips" . In fact, the rivalry between the Soviet Union and the United States served as the basis for the entire modern world and resulted in the technological blessing of today.
By the way, this is little known, but the moon firstreached the Soviet ships. And even though the person who made the first step in the Earth’s satellite is an American, but the first technical probes that collected the lunar soil were Soviet.
Now, with the development of the Internet, Americanslaunched a site that allows you to see how the launch of the Appolon-11. This is the site of Wechoosethemoon. The launch of the rocket, which can be seen there in great detail, is compiled from many documentary materials. You are available to a variety of "chips" of the site.
The Wechhosethemoon rocket launch site allowstrack online. The whole functionality consists of eleven scenes reconstructed using computer graphics, which can be viewed from various camera positions. The first scene is the launch of a rocket from the spaceport, and the scene of the eleventh is the Moon itself. All this action is accompanied by the voice of the announcer, performed as if through radio recording. The site has a beautiful interface, the only small minus is the rather long loading speed of the scenes. It is curious that at the beginning, during the loading of the site and the first scene, you will be offered to download a certificate in order to show the entire reconstructed film about the flight to the Moon in schools and educational institutions.
Well, now you know that on the Internet on the website Wechoosethemoon the launch of the rocket can be tracked, figuratively speaking, live. This is quite curious. Try if you wish!
