Throughout the years, we have seen space as something far away and with lots of mysteries that we have not been able to solve or to even try to understand. An example of this is the "Dark Side of the moon" or even the theory of aliens and other lives.
Even though those things are still a mystery, we still have the fact that we have visited space and even landed on the moon. This moment was really hard due to the fact that technology was not advanced and there was not enough research for creating what we needed. Also, it is important to mention that people who developed software did not have a methodology to follow, so there were many malpractices in the development of some of the programs.
In the case of the mission Apollo11, and the whole Apollo program, the US government had some trouble due to the fact that they needed to ask universities to help them to develop the technology.
These requirements and the stress of the due date for the program became the problems for the development of the project. In this case, MIT had the opportunity to prove to them that scientist has the knowledge and ways to create new things to help society. Also, there is a chance to show them that teamwork makes the difference, but the correct way to do it was the problem. Another problem they got into was the freedom they had to solve each problem the US government asked them to solve.
I consider that the teamwork and the innovation they had to go through was the real achievement in the mission, and also that we have learned there are some malpractices that nowadays programmers should not follow. The problems they had though the mission could have been skipped they had known there were a process and good practices such as documentation, getting the requirements and doing what they been asked to do.
This mission was something important in our history, and as engineers, we should learn from the problems other people have been through. Technology has evolved and we should understand the limits and needs of our society.
