Digital Photography would be a photo taken that day then put online. A photo interprets how something looked. People would wait for the newspaper to come out to see the photo on the front page. A photo influences how people view a specific event. for example the picture of Armstrong showed what the actual moon looked like. "But they — the photos, not necessarily the obituaries — only told part of the story." (Pearlman) A single photo could only show a second of an event. Since this is true there could be misinterpretation of what is happening. Seeing the man on the moon was a very important photo but everyone was confused with one photo in particular. Wondering if Armstrong was camera shy or just not paying attention. A video would be a much better form of media to see Armstrong on the moon. The photo of Armstrong was put up everywhere to represent America being on top.

At 10:56 p.m. EDT, American astronaut Neil Armstrong, 240,000 miles from Earth, speaks these words to more than a billion people listening at home: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Stepping off the lunar landing module Eagle, Armstrong became the first human to walk on the surface of the moon.

The American effort to send astronauts to the moon has its origins in a famous appeal President John F. Kennedy made to a special joint session of Congress on May 25, 1961: "I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth." At the time, the United States was still trailing the Soviet Union in space developments, and Cold War-era America welcomed Kennedy's bold proposal.

In 1966, after five years of work by an international team of scientists and engineers, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) conducted the first unmanned Apollo mission, testing the structural integrity of the proposed launch vehicle and spacecraft combination. Then, on January 27, 1967, tragedy struck at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, when a fire broke out during a manned launch-pad test of the Apollo spacecraft and Saturn rocket. Three astronauts were killed in the fire.

Despite the setback, NASA and its thousands of employees forged ahead, and in October 1968, Apollo 7, the first manned Apollo mission, orbited Earth and successfully tested many of the sophisticated systems needed to conduct a moon journey and landing. In December of the same year, Apollo 8 took three astronauts to the dark side of the moon and back, and in March 1969 Apollo 9 tested the lunar module for the first time while in Earth orbit. Then in May, the three astronauts of Apollo 10 took the first complete Apollo spacecraft around the moon in a dry run for the scheduled July landing mission.

At 9:32 a.m. on July 16, with the world watching, Apollo 11 took off from Kennedy Space Center with astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin Jr., and Michael Collins aboard. Armstrong, a 38-year-old civilian research pilot, was the commander of the mission. After traveling 240,000 miles in 76 hours, Apollo 11 entered into a lunar orbit on July 19. The next day, at 1:46 p.m., the lunar module Eagle, manned by Armstrong and Aldrin, separated from the command module, where Collins remained. Two hours later, the Eagle began its descent to the lunar surface, and at 4:18 p.m. the craft touched down on the southwestern edge of the Sea of Tranquility. Armstrong immediately radioed to Mission Control in Houston, Texas, a famous message: "The Eagle has landed."

At 10:39 p.m., five hours ahead of the original schedule, Armstrong opened the hatch of the lunar module. As he made his way down the lunar module's ladder, a television camera attached to the craft recorded his progress and beamed the signal back to Earth, where hundreds of millions watched in great anticipation. At 10:56 p.m., Armstrong spoke his famous quote, which he later contended was slightly garbled by his microphone and meant to be "that's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." He then planted his left foot on the gray, powdery surface, took a cautious step forward, and humanity had walked on the moon.

"Buzz" Aldrin joined him on the moon's surface at 11:11 p.m., and together they took photographs of the terrain, planted a U.S. flag, ran a few simple scientific tests, and spoke with President Richard M. Nixon via Houston. By 1:11 a.m. on July 21, both astronauts were back in the lunar module and the hatch was closed. The two men slept that night on the surface of the moon, and at 1:54 p.m. the Eagle began its ascent back to the command module. Among the items left on the surface of the moon was a plaque that read: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot on the moon-July 1969 A.D-We came in peace for all mankind."

At 5:35 p.m., Armstrong and Aldrin successfully docked and rejoined Collins, and at 12:56 a.m. on July 22 Apollo 11 began its journey home, safely splashing down in the Pacific Ocean at 12:51 p.m. on July 24.

There would be five more successful lunar landing missions, and one unplanned lunar swing-by, Apollo 13. The last men to walk on the moon, astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt of the Apollo 17 mission, left the lunar surface on December 14, 1972. The Apollo program was a costly and labor intensive endeavor, involving an estimated 400,000 engineers, technicians, and scientists, and costing $24 billion (close to $100 billion in today's dollars). The expense was justified by Kennedy's 1961 mandate to beat the Soviets to the moon, and after the feat was accomplished ongoing missions lost their viability.

A digital article would be written later to describe a day in the past. Only people with computers could read the article lessening the amount of actual people seeing it. Articles allow for more facts from different perspectives such as a reporter or even a photo being added. An article based on the man on the moon would be read mostly by people who could not watch the event. This is because after watching the event and reading the newspaper and article would not be as important. "As we have seen, the technical properties of each medium place constraints on the ways people can use it by providing parameters within which human agents must operate and by more readily lending itself to particular applications." Very form of media will be used but because certain ones work for different people. A article would be used least for an event like this however in other circumstances an article on the internet might be the first media someone looks at when in a hurry. The article about Armstrong is mostly used now for research and not as much as during the particular event.

Neil Armstrong - First Moon Landing 1969

A broadcasted video showed exactly what was happening. There was no room for false information because it was being recorded and could not be messed with. People could see it for themselves and not have to imagine what was happening. A video impacts an individual differently than an image because you see the exact motion of a particularly event. There is no getting the perfect shot. “TV does not require searching, reading, or any active effort on the viewer’s part other than pressing a button to turn the TV on and changing the channel to their favorite local news broadcast." (Walker) Everyone wanted to watch Armstrong but with little effort. Watching the man land showed everyone how much we could accomplish. However a broadcast does not give an opportunity for fixing the truth so if something goes wrong everyone sees what happens. The video of Armstrong landing on the moon came out that day and everyone was anticipating it. They got the news first with the broadcast.

A newspaper in the year 1969 would come out twenty four hours after the event happened. Everyone would have already heard about it when it was happening and not be as interested hours later. It influences the different views of the people watching in person and seeing photos. They would hear the description of how the reporter sees it. However, newspapers are kept after big events for years just to remember one specific day. “Newspaper provides us with information collected from around the globe. It also helps to develop new ideas, and at times guide the common man how to think and discuss.” (Roy) Newspaper is better than video and picture in a way that the words allows for a discussion. One can read the details of a situation that someone may of not been able to see in a video. An event is more elaborated and explained for better understanding. In the situation of Armstrong landing on the moon people were lining the streets to watch and everyone else was waiting to hear about it. The newspapers were everywhere and not a single person did not have one. Reading about the event made Armstrong sounds like a hero even if facts were not true.
