On August 2, 1492, a three-ship fleet commanded by Christopher Columbus of Genoa, Italy, for the King and Queen of Spain began a voyage west seeking a route to Japan and the Indies. The flagship was this chartered carrack, the Santa Maria, a bulky craft of cranky sailing behavior. However, on Christmas Eve, 1492, Columbus’ flagship ran aground on a coral reef off the coast of Haiti and the crew had to abandon ship. Ever since then, many attempts have been made to find and recover the ship. Between 1967 and 1972, Fred Dickson made four explorations of the coral reef in Cap Haitien Bay where Edwin Link had found an anchor that he believed might belong to the flagship. During the first excavation of the coral mound, Dickson and his crew found a layer of ballast stone about two feet below the surface. At the twelve-foot level, they found numerous pieces of wood, copper and brass bolts, iron rods and a few silver nails, presumably from a piece of armor. Probably the most significant find was some pottery that had been buried between 1375 and 1575. In later excavation, Dickson’s crew continued hacking away at the coral and mud, digging a trench four or five feet wide and eighteen inches deep. But they found nothing that would either prove or disprove the possibility that the Santa Maria was buried there. In 1972, using sophisticated electronic equipment, Dickson discovered an object about seventy-five feet southeast of the coral reef that he had been exploring. It was about one hundred feet long. That it was a ship was certain. Whether it was the Santa Maria is still an open question. The most important find during Dickson’s first excavation was______.

Fifty years ago, on May 25, 1961, US President John F. Kennedy (31) a grand challenge that changed the world (32) humankind knew it— (33) a man to the Moon and bring him home again, and to do it by the end of the decade. It is one of the most (34) images of all time an Earthling (35) foot upon the Moon for the first time. The moment was immortalized by astronaut Neil Armstrong. "One small step for a man, one giant (36) for mankind," said Armstrong. The challenge to put a man on the Moon had been issued on May 25, 1961, by newly elected President John F. Kennedy in a bold speech before Congress. "First, I believe that this nation (37) commit itself to (38) the goal, before this decade is out, (39) landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the earth. No (40) space project in this period will be more (41) to mankind, or more important in the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish..." said President Kennedy. To set the stage for this speech, here is a bit of history: In 1957, the Soviet Union (42) Sputnik—the first (43) object (44) placed into orbit around Earth. And only one month before Kennedy’s speech, the Soviets sent the first man into space, Yuri Gagarin. Three weeks later an American (45) suit—Alan Shepard, who admired the view from his Freedom Seven Mercury space capsule. "On the periscope—what a beautiful view," said Shepard. "Cloud cover over Florida." The Space Race was well (46) . The Apollo Eleven (47) was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. It was the fifth human spaceflight of Project Apollo and the third human (48) to the Moon. It was also the second all-veteran crew in manned spaceflight history. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Mission Commander Neil Alden Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Eugene "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first (49) to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above. The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy’s goal of reaching the moon (50) the end of the 1960s.
