Actually I'm ready to make my english Space Webpage. This write is from
my prolog. I feel shame right now. Anyway I need to check grammars.
If you find any incorrect sentence, please reply. I will be aprreciated.

Prolog

After the end of The second world war, the Cold war surrounded all over the world by the States and the Soviet Union. And they developed all kinds of their new weapons which were based on Germany's V2 Rocket technology. The space development competition was accelerated by a launching of the U.S.S.R's the first satellite and Gagarin's (Yurii lekseevich
1934.39 ~1968.3.2) successful flight mission in orbit made American shocked. It gave a chance to American established NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Adminisratoin).
At that time America's space plans were seperated by the air force , the army and the navy. As a matter of course the mission was usually failed and deccelerated success probabilities. After NASA's establishment
the United States could step one more than their's communist rival.
In 1961 John F. Kennedy(1917.5.29~1963.11.22 ,the American president, suggested special project which was to go to the Moon and to return safely the earth by American in 10 years. That's we called the Apollo project.
Anyway so many times they tested missions of Lunar landing. At last we could wath TV Armstrong's the first human step in the moon which was specailly glad to me coz Armstrong participated Korean war. Of course I didn't know that before serching this data.
But in 2001 Fox TV presented the suspicion of Apollo's lunar landing.
I knew it had something problems there for example no dust on the Lular Module and movement's of American flag without air. I think that may have another reasons. I will talk about later.

I think if it had been fake, the USSR - great enemy of the USA - would have said something. I'm sure they were watching too.

This has some info you might find interesting. It essentially proves the case that Apollo DID go to the Moon....and this is from a group that is usually critical of NASA.

Some minor corrections, if I may, friend:

After the end of the Second World War, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union kept the world on a war-footing. Both sides developed various types of new weapons which were based on Germany's V2 Rocket technology. The space development competition was accelerated by the launching of the U.S.S.R's first satellite and Gagarin's (Yurii lekseevich 1934.39 ~1968.3.2) successful orbital flight mission. This shocked America and had a great political impact. It also sparked an opportunity for the rise of the American NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Adminisration).

Prior to that time, America's space program existed as sub-programs of the Air Force , the Army and the Navy, with all the duplication of effort and conflicts you might expect. While the Soviet Union boasted of a string of successes, the American missions usually failed and were responsible for a sense of political alarm and overall skepticism about success probabilities. After NASA's establishment, the United States took a step towards challenging their communist rival. In 1961 John F. Kennedy(1917.5.29~1963.11.22 ), the American president, called for a special project with a special goal: To put men on the Moon and to return them safely to earth within 10 years. Thus was established the Apollo project.

This essentiall involved three programs: Mercury, Gemini and Apollo.
The Mercury program was a series of sub-orbital flights in 1-man capsules to determine if man could even survive in space. Gemini involved larger capsules built for two men, so larger and more powerful rockets we used
and for the first time men rendevouzed and docked with other space vehicles and actually exited the confines of the capsule to "walk in space".

The Apollo program used the largest rockets ever built, the Saturn V. There was a 3-man command module and a 2-man lunar module to be lifted in space. One of the worst tragedies occurred with Apollo 1, in which the command module erupted into flames with the 3-man crew on board. After this, Nasa conducted a comprehensive safety overhaul and remade the Apollo command module and revised their procedures.

After many test missions and test Lunar landings, the world could at last watch on TV as Astronaut Scott Armstrong became the first human to step on the moon. This was an especially glad moment to me because Armstrong participated in the Korean Wwar. Of course I didn't know that before serching this data.

But in 2001 Fox TV presented a program that raised the suspicion that the Apollo's lunar landing had been faked. This program discussed several problems, for example no dust on the Lunar Module and what appeard to be movement of the American flag...in a vacuum! I will talk about these speculations later.

Sorry, I got carried away and added some things. You may want to touch up that last paragraph after reading the link I suggested above. List a few more of the suspicions, but leave your judgement out....make the reader WANT to read what you write next by only telling them a little bit now, but write enough to grab their interest! haha!

Good Luck! Cool
