America's Space Program: Exploring a New Frontier tells the story of America's journey to the moon. The creation of NASA, the Apollo vehicles, and the January 1967 tragedy are part of the story. On July 20, 1969, as the Eagle lunar module approached the moon, it became clear that the computer had chosen an unacceptable landing site -- a boulder-strewn crater. With 114 seconds of fuel left, astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin overrode the computers and manually landed the Eagle.

American Environmental Photographs, 1891-1936™American Memory consists of 4,500 photographs of natural environments, ecologies, and plant communities in the United States taken between 1891 and 1936. These photographs show a wide range of American topography and its forestation, aridity, shifting coastal dune complexes, and watercourses. Comparisons of early photographs with later views highlight changes resulting from natural alterations of the landscape, disturbances from industry and development, and effective natural resource usage. (Library of Congress)

12.

American Memory presents the photographs, manuscripts, rare books, maps, recorded sound, and moving pictures that are part of the historical Americana holdings at the Library of Congress. The learning section contains research tools, lesson plans, and activities for students. (Library of Congress)
