After graduating from Purdue , Armstrong decided to become a test pilot. He appeared at the station high-speed flight that the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA ) had at Edwards Air Force Base . Although there were no places for new pilots , submitted its application to the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory in Cleveland, where Armstrong began work in March 1955.31 The pilot was only there for two months, because in July he returned to Edwards for a new job
Apolo 11
On January 27, 1967, day of the tragic Apollo 1 fire, Armstrong was in Washington D. C. with Gordon Cooper, Dick Gordon, Jim Lovell and Scott Carpenter for the signing of the Outer Space Treaty UN. The astronauts chatted with the assembled dignitaries until 6:45 p.m., when Carpenter went to the airport and the rest returned to the hotel Georgetown Inn, where each found a message to phone the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. During these phone calls, they heard about the deaths of the Apollo 1 astronauts, Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee. Armstrong and his companions spent the rest of the night drinking whiskey and talking about the tragedia.

Columbus established a base in Hispaniola and sailed around Hispaniola and along the length of southern Cuba. He spotted and named the island of Dominica on November 3, 1493
THE THIRD TRIP
The Third Trip:
On a third expedition (May 30, 14ber 1500),98-Octo Columbus sailed farther south, to Trinidad and Venezuela (including the mouth of the Orinoco River). Columbus was the first European since the Viking Leif Ericsson to set foot on the mainland of America.
THE FOURTH TRIP
The Fourth Trip:
On his fourth and last expedition (May 9, 1502-Nov. 7, 1504), Columbus sailed to Mexico, Honduras and Panama (in Central America) and Santiago (Jamaica). Columbus is buried in eastern Hispaniola (now called the Dominican Republic).
THE FIRST TRIP

Columbus sailed for King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella of Spain. On his first trip, Columbus led an expedition with three ships, the Niña (captained by Vicente Yáñez Pinzon), the Pinta (owned and captained by Martin Alonzo Pinzon), and the Santa Maria (captained by Columbus), and about 90 crew members. They set sail on Aug. 3, 1492 from Palos, Spain, and on October 11, 1492, spotted the Caribbean islands off southeastern North America. They landed on an island they called Guanahani, but Columbus later renamed it San Salvador. They were met by the local Taino Indians, many of whom were captured by Columbus' men and later sold into slavery. Columbus thought he had made it to Asia, and called this area the Indies, and called its inhabitants Indians.

Hernán Cortés

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In 1528, Cortés returned to Spain to appeal to the justice of his master, Charles V. Juan Altamirano and Alonso Valiente stayed in Mexico and acted as Cortés' representatives during his absence. Cortés presented himself with great splendor before Charles V's court. By this time Charles had returned and Cortés forthrightly responded to his enemy's charges. Denying he had held back on gold due the crown, he showed that he had contributed more than the quinto (one-fifth) required. Indeed, he had spent lavishly to build the new capital of Mexico City on the ruins of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán, leveled during the siege that brought down the Aztec empire.
Return
Accompanied by about 11 ships, 500 men, 13 horses, and a small number of cannon, Cortés landed on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mayan territory.[9] There he encountered Geronimo de Aguilar, a Spanish Franciscan priest who had survived a shipwreck followed by a period in captivity with the Maya, before escaping.[9] Aguilar had learned the Chontal Maya language and was able to translate for Cortés.[10]

In March 1519, Cortés formally claimed the land for the Spanish crown. Then he proceeded to Tabasco, where he met with resistance and won a battle against the natives. He received twenty young indigenous women from the vanquished natives, and he converted them all to Christianity.
Born in Medellín, Spain, to a family of lesser nobility, Cortés chose to pursue a livelihood in the New World. He went to Hispaniola and later to Cuba, where he received an encomienda and, for a short time, became alcalde (magistrate) of the second Spanish town founded on the island. In 1519, he was elected captain of the third expedition to the mainland, an expedition which he partly funded. His enmity with the Governor of Cuba, Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, resulted in the recall of the expedition at the last moment, an order which Cortés ignored.

Tektite Project
1969
In 1969, she applied to join the Tektite Project, an installation fifty feet below the surface of the sea off the coast of the Virgin Islands that allowed scientists to live submersed in their area of study for up to several weeks, but she was rejected.
Deep Rover
In 1982 she and her husband, Graham Hawkes, an engineer and submersible designer, founded Deep Ocean Engineering to design, operate, support and consult on piloted and robotic subsea systems. In 1985, the Deep Ocean Engineering team designed and built the Deep Rover research submarine, which operates down to 1,000 metres .
Tektite II
1970
The next year, she was selected to lead the first all-female team of aquanauts in Tektite II.

Sylvia Earle
Underwater explorer
1998-2002
From 1998 to 2002 she led the Sustainable Seas Expeditions, a five-year program sponsored by the National Geographic Society and funded by the Goldman Foundation to study the United States National Marine Sanctuary.
In 1979, she made an open-ocean JIM suit dive to the sea floor near Oahu, setting a women's depth record of 381 metres (1,250 ft). In 1979 she also began her job as the Curator of Phycology at the California Academy of Sciences, where she served until 1986.

1979
The JIM suit is an atmospheric diving suit , which is designed to maintain an interior pressure of one atmosphere even with exterior pressures, eliminating the majority of physiological dangers associated with deep diving.

Earle founded Mission Blue , a non-profit foundation for protecting and exploring the Earth's ocean. In addition, she serves on several boards, including Marine Conservation Institute
