Neil Armstrong has made a significant contribution in the American history by: being the first man to set foot on the moon. (Jackson, 2008) for centuries, humans were only able to look at the heavens and dream of visiting other worlds. As the mission commander of Apollo 11, he was able to accomplish this on July 20, 1969. His achievement placed the United States ahead of the Soviet Union in space race and it created a lot of excitement for future space exploration. Aside from Armstrong, the Apollo 11 crew included: Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin (who followed Armstrong onto the surface) and Michael Collins (who served as the command module pilot).

The objectives were: to build a strong student movement in America and to make significant changes in the society. Moreover, SDS engaged in campaigns and programs that provide chances for other people to become organizers of different events. (Pekar, 2008)

Turning point in history From my point-of-view, I see that much has happened on the changing role of men and women at home.
