Jessica Sjostrom Hammett English 1301 Dec. 10, 2017 Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 Moon Landing             “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” the infamous words of astronaut, Neil Armstrong, as he first stepped foot on the moon (Armstrong). That one phrase has since started a new found nationally and sense of pride in many Americans. Many children dream of becoming astronauts and accomplishing what Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin accomplished on July 20, 1969 (“Apollo Moon Landing – 35 th Anniversary”). However, this all might be a lie. Some believe NASA faked the moon landing to advance their position in the “space race” with Russia. Let's explore the moon landing and whether it was fake or real, with the most likely solution being that the moon landing was faked so the US could compete with Russia in the “space race”.             Neil Armstrong was ...

What happened to Malaysian Flight 370? On March 8, 2014, a plane took off from Kuala International Airport (Sharp). However, it did not make the ETA. It actually never reached its destination in Beijing. The plane and its passengers disappeared in the middle of the flight. Although they searched exclusively for months, they found next to nothing on an alibi for that flight (Karimi). They called off the search in January of 2017 (1). Since the day the plane went missing, several conspiracy theories surfaced: a fire in the cockpit led the captain to turn west and the plane flew until it ran out of fuel, Russian special ops hijacked the plane, or the captain, Zarahie Shah, committed a mass murder-suicide (Golson). This paper will examine the evidence behind each theory and the possibility that the pilot of the plane flew a crazy suicide mission.     As an experienced Boeing 777 captain, Zarahie Shah knew the Asian air routes proficiently (“Who are…”). He was a 53-year-old veter...

               Anyone who is a fan of hip-hop music would be able to recognize the name Tupac Shakur, a multi-talented rapper/actor. Tupac’s career took off in the 1990’s; he quickly became one of the most iconic artists in the music industry. His life came to an end on September 7, 1996, in a drive by shooting in Las Vegas… but did it? Many people would argue that he is still alive and well residing somewhere in   Cuba (Kelly   1-3). Tupac Shakur was one of those guys that everyone knew. Whether an individual was a   hip-hop fan or not, they knew the mark that Tupac left on the industry. He was a strong personality that took the hip hop world by storm. Tupac was raised by both his mother and father. Both parents were active members of the   “Black Panther” organization. His   parents fought for civil rights and fought for racial equality. Because of this, Tupac began his own fight at a young ...

  What do you imagine when you hear the words "classified government disease laboratory"? Do you picture a heavily guarded research facility, teeming with dangerous and infectious pathogens and plagued with mysterious motives, or a noble research center where scientist learn to defend the western world against the perils of bioterrorism? These are the opposing views with which the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, or PIADC, is seen. One conspiracy about Plum Island regards it as the birthplace of Lyme Disease, while another claims that it creates deformed creatures through horrific experiments. Although seemingly implausible, the island is regarded by theorists as, “a biological ticking time bomb” (Carroll, 267). It's close proximity to the heavily populated city of Manhattan creates further concern about the center's operations. If there is truth to these sinister rumors, then the PIADC has the potential to do much more harm than good to Americans and people around ...

Stephen Minor English 1301 Prof. Hammett Final Research Exam November 27, 2017 Amelia Earhart Disappearance   Introduction: “Decide whether or not the goal is worth the risks involved. If it is, stop worrying…” (“Biography” 1). Amelia Earhart was faced with many difficult decisions during her career in aviation. She was faced with discrimination, journeys of uncertainty, and even potential death. Amelia Earhart had a bright future ahead of her. She was on her way to the record books of being the first woman to fly across the world. But her path to glory came to an abrupt and unexpected ending. Her flight was cut short when she went missing around the central Pacific Ocean (1). Many people believe she crashed her plane and died on impact. But what really happened to Amelia Earhart on July 2, 1937? Did Amelia really crash her plane in the Pacific Ocean?  If so, where’s the evidence? Wouldn’t we be able to find at least something proving that she crashed (Greshko 1)? Many conspir...
