Conclusion
Thus we have seen that the mission Apollo 11 is a power issue across several areas; Economic, scientific and political.
From an economic point of view, we saw that space programs represent phenomenal sums of money and need the development of very large budgets. the Apollo program has cost $ 24 billion a colossal sum which amputated the American budget.
To succed Apollo 11 we saw that the USA did not hesitate to Invest a lot of money and employ a lot of people without budgetary huge scandals or exceeded.
On its side , the USSR has Invested(very too much) money in the space conquest.These investment in these space projects Are going to be a determining factor in the fall of the USSR in 1991.
Then from a political point of view we saw that in full period of Cold War Neil Amstrong put the first American flag on the moon. An action that will show the greatness of then the USA not only on the USSR but on the entire world .
The communication took an important place in the conquest of Space .The USA and the USSR show their own progress in newspapers and propaganda. For a long time, the conquest of space will long remain a major theme of Communist propaganda despite their defeat.
Finally from a scientific point of view we saw that the mission Apollo 11 employed a lot of scientists and work hard to innovate and create the powerful rocket Saturn V (exposed at the kennedy space center). A technological progress which will be a symbol of space conquest.
In all these areas, the United States were able to show their superiority over the USSR and win this battle. The united states of America took a very important psychological and political ascendancy. But the conquest of space doesn't stop at the victory of the USA, it still continues today (for example conquests on Mars) but in a completely different form and with other actors.
