Blog entry: Moon Machines

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." - John F. Kennedy (1962).

Those were the words for the big challenge that was going to begin for the United States, people was going to reach the moon and with they would specially improve on technology to begin a new era on humankind, this big step is an incredible way to demonstrate what does inspiration and effort could generate. 

In this blog entry, the next comments are created as critic to give a point of view of what I think from this documentary.

The technology always and will be an aspect of our lives that are in constant change or evolves with humankind, when the Apollo mission was issued by the US, at the beginning was considered as a suicide mission or even impossible, on that moment was viewed that way not because they were not having the technology to begin with the objective immediately, but the main reason was that no one or nobody arrived to the moon.

Their mission was not easy, they spend years and an exhaustive number of attempts to reach the final objective, some of them were reached by coincidence others they were having the right explanation to have reached to the method or mechanic to recreate the same phenomenon.

As an example, there is one thing that I’m still curious, the issue that the computer got once the Apollo crew arrived to the moon (the system overload at the arrival of the moon), the idea here is that since everything was already tested and created with the right care about the equipment, there were still times that existed a chance of failure during the expedition (in this case that did not happened). The mission could be a complete failure if the computer remained the same way, and expecting from the USD government they would try it again until they could get their objective.

The other point of view was the creations from a group of talented people from the MIT (one I would recognize and thanks to this person the progress on the creations of new technology would not be the same) like Margaret Hamilton, they were processes and specially methods that provided the right information and calculations to avoid any failure.

With this we can see that there are a lot of changes in this world since this big impact in the story of mankind, I’m sure that on the next years the humanity will get far away and could solve mysteries that are still unknown for mankind.

I'm leaving the video from this interesting event, one of the achievements that changed history and make a big evolution in the world.
