Neil Armstrong’s Six Thinking Hats

1. Neil Armstrong’s Six Thinking Hats By : Jennifer /5C

2. White Hat (Facts) • Neil Alden Armstrong was the first people to step the first on the moon. • He was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio on 5th August, 1930. • He married with a girl named Janet Shearon in January 28th, 1957 and has 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl but sadly the girl died because of complications related to an inoperable brain tumor in January 1962. • He was an American Astronaut, an American Aviator and a former astronaut, test pilot, aerospace engineer, university professor , and United States Naval Aviator and the first person to set foot on the Earth's moon.

3. Continue….. • He used plastics to take samples of minerals out there in the moon, and conducted experiments. • Neil Armstrong went to the moon because President John .F. Kennedy committed the US to sending a man to the moon and returning him safely, and Armstrong was the one chosento make the first movement out of the landing module, also to prove that U.S people are brave enough to set the first step of a mankind in the moon.

4. Yellow Hat(Strength) • He will and always trust himself eventhough he failed like when the time he used Gemini 8 and in 1969 when The NASA challenge him and he accept the challenge to go to the moon for the second time to be the commander! • He is a very skillful aviator(penerbangan) because he have flight to the moon using the Apollo 11 then returned back safely.

5. Black Hat(Weaknesses) • He had a problem to drivethe rocket when he wanted to come back to the earth and when he want to go to the moon because to enter the atmosphere is really hot and to come out the gravity is really different between earth and outer space. If he did not patient enough so the spaceship could explode. Because he has learned from his mistakes when he used the Gemini and almost exploded but he landed immediately and rescued by the U.S.S Mason! • The anti-gravity when he practiced and when he went to the outer space made him sick, because there was zero gravity in the space.

6. Red Hat(Feeling) • In the 20th of July 1969, Armstrong feel so excited when he wanted to set the first mankind step in the moon and also to orbit the moon to find out that what something around the moon is, is there any living things there? This was also because of his curiosity. • In the time when his rocket was launched he feel so scared, because when he piloted the Apollo 11, he felt so afraid that after he hitedthe atmosphere when he wanted to go out of space and when he wanted to go back to the earth the rocket could not handle the hot of the atmosphere cause at the last 7 years in 1962, when he used the Gemini 8 and when he wanted to go out of the atmosphere the Gemini was malfunctioned. The spaceship could not handle the hotness of the atmosphere then suddenly Armstrong settled an emergency landing rather than his rocket explodes.

7. Continue… • He was really excited to set the first mankind step in the moon…. and also to bring some rocks for experiments. • He will never give up from the challenge that NASA gave him to try harder for setting the first human foot in the moon.

8. Green Hat(Creativity) • Before the death of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy he was the one that inform one of the NASA’s member that NASA need to send the first mankind that is Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins to set the first step in the moon to explore because to promote that U.S is the vast grown country. I’ve learned that Neil Armstrong is the hero of the 20 century. • His exploration show that he was a kind of a man that could not give up easily because when NASA challenged him in 1969 he accepted the challenge and finally he succeed and know that moon could be our second earth. So we can learn to be more risk taker to do on something

9. Blue Hat(Thinking) • Analyze The Discoveries: • When he took some minerals from the moon and brought back to Earth some scientist found out that were some minerals similar with the minerals that earth has. • After he orbited the moon he knew that the moon could be our second earth, because there is also some living things too there! • Opportunities: • He got a really big opportunity when he was challenged by NASA to try to do another mission to be the commander of Apollo 11 departing from earth to a mission to go to the moon, along with Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin.

10. Continue… • New Understanding: • Now we know that moon could be our second earth because there is also living things just like in the earth, but there is a bit of differences is about the gravity issue, cause there is gravity in the earth but in the moon there’s no gravity cause the moon’s gravity is the same as in outer space.
