The moon landings were a tool of the cold war that was going on at the time between the Soviet Union (Russia) and the United States to see which country was the most technologically advanced. Basically, we shot men into space on top of missiles instead of arming those same missiles with warheads and shooting them at each other. In a nutshell, the space race and subsequent moon landings saved mankind from almost certain extinction.

What is the 1202 alarm?

The 1202 alarm was an error from the landing computer of the Eagle spacecraft during the first moonlanding by Armstrong and Aldrin, on july 20th, 1969. The error was caused by too much data fed into the computer, because the crew was using 2 radars at the same time. The designers always assumed the crew would use just one radar simultaniously.
