Manipulating Equations

Apollo 11's historic mission landed humanity on the Moon on July 20, 1969, with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin as the first humans to walk on its surface. Launched from Kennedy Space Center, this pivotal moment in space exploration was underpinned by complex equations critical for the mission's success. The astronauts faced numerous risks, relying heavily on mathematical calculations to ensure a safe lunar landing. This mission remains a monumental accomplishment, showcasing human ingenuity and the power of science. Let’s explore the importance of equations in this groundbreaking endeavor!

  1. Manipulating Equations

  2. First Moon Landing 1969 • Apollo 11 was the spaceflight which landed the first humans, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr, on Earth's Moon on July 20, 1969. The United States mission is considered the major accomplishment in the history of space exploration. • Launched from the Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39 in Merritt Island, Florida on July 16, Apollo 11 was the fifth manned mission, and the third lunar mission, of NASA's Apollo program. The crew consisted of Armstrong as Commander and Aldrin as Lunar Module Pilot, with Command Module Pilot Michael Collins. Armstrong and Aldrin landed in the Sea of Tranquillity and became the first humans to walk on the Moon on July 21. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMINSD7MmT4

  3. Would you have taken the risk? • What risks do you think Neil and “Buzz” had to consider when they were selected for the mission? • If you were selected to become the first person to walk on the moon, would you have relied on the equations that scientists manipulated to determine that landing on the moon could be possible? • Why do you think they had to rely on equations?

  4. So why did they have to rely on equations? • Since Apollo 11 was the first time landing on the moon was ever attempted, the success or failure of the mission depended on the manipulation of equations and not any past trials or evidence. • Let’s practice manipulating some equations of our own…
