Mercury flight a close second in significance
I voted Apollo 11 in the poll, and, overall, I feel that it was the most noteworthy mission. After all, it was the first mission which actually landed a human on another celestial body.
Though it was not on the list, I consider the first Mercury mission to be a close second. It marked the first sign of the US' catching up with the Soviets during the start of the "space race." At that time most people in the US, and probably in the Soviet Union as well, considered success in space travel to be a major source of national pride. |
