How it impacted US culture
- Provided a boost of morale in the late 60's
- Morale was low due to the Vietnam war
- Morale = low due to assassination of MLK and Rob Kennedy
- Also had an amazing affect on ppl's POV regarding Earth
- People gained self worth when astronauts said Earth looked lively
In all, Apollo 11 affected US culture by making people on Earth have more hope and higher morale and spirits after all of the bad things that have happened in the 60's. Also made America seem more advanced than the rest of the world technology - wise.
Neil's famous quote
"that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"

BONUS
- Neil was a little angry at an interview...
- He claimed that he actually said an "a" between "for" and "man"
- "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
- That would separate one man and mankind by a lot...
- Tests were ran to see if Neil's Ohio dialect was just confusing.
