I thought it was pretty cool to be related to someone who actually flew into space. Project Apollo‚ or the Apollo Program was the human spaceflight program organized by the United States.

Kennedy said this in a special joint session of Congress on May 25‚ 1961. But why was sending a man to the moon so important to the United States? Well‚ the main reason was the US at the time was behind the Soviet Union in space travel developments‚ And America in

In the move Apollo 13 the stages of group development can be seen in the relationships with the Astronauts Lovell‚ Haise‚ Mattingly and Swigert. When we first see the Astronauts they are a well-oiled machine. They know each other’s movements and they can predict what one another is going to do next. The Astronauts are confident in each other which make them more confident in the success of their mission. Then Mattingly is removed from the mission just two days before take-off and replaced with
