  • Sample Answer ‘How Did the US Achieve a Successful Moon Landing in 1069 and What Was Its National and International Significance for the US?’ (2019)
    Space Race | Sample Answer ‘How did the US achieve a successful moon landing in 1069 and what was its national and international significance for the US?’ (2019) The Moon Landing in 1969 was a statement of American Foreign policy and a huge advancement in technology that impacted both the US domestic and foreign affairs. The moon landing, which was a product of the space race between the ‘superpowers’ America and Russia proved to be a strong political statement in foreign policy and a measure of political reassurance regarding their domestic affairs. During the Cold War, America felt a sense of competition as their fellow superpower, Russia began to compete in producing deadly weapons and means to deliver them. This was known as the arms race and led to advancement such as the internet and eventually led to the moon landing. The Russian space success surprised the US as they launched their first inter- continental ballistic missile and the first man made earth satellite sputnik in 1957. The US, under Eisenhower set up NASA (the national aeronautics and space administration) in 1958 to organise US space exploration but the Soviets were still ahead when their Luna II rocket hit the moon and Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. The space race was another aspect of Cold War rivalry. In 1961, JFK committed the US to landing a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s. He stated that “No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind or more important to the long-range exploration of space; and none will be more difficult to accomplish”.

    Law Review 1270 July 2012 Civilian Pension Credit for Military Service Time before 1994 By Captain Samuel F. Wright, JAGC, USN (Ret.) 1.1.3.2—Regular Military Service 1.3.1.1—Left Job for Service and Gave Prior Notice 1.3.1.3—Timely Application for Reemployment 1.3.2.3—Pension Credit for Military Service Time 1.4—USERRA Enforcement 1.6—USERRA Statute of Limitations 1.8—Relationship between USERRA and other Laws/Policies Q: I have read with interest your “Law Review” articles at www.servicemembers-lawcenter.org. I am trying to discern if the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) applies to me. I was born in 1947 and I graduated from high school in May 1965. Just a month later, I went to work for a major corporation, with a defined benefit pension plan. I remained with the company until June 1967, when I was drafted. I served on active duty for almost two years, including a year in Vietnam, and I was honorably discharged in May 1969. I immediately applied for reemployment at the company, and I went back to work in June 1969. I remained with the company for six more years, until I resigned in June 1975. I was told that I would qualify for a pension from the company, as of my 65th birthday. I turned 65 recently, and I applied for the pension. The company personnel office told me that I qualify for a very modest pension, based on six years of company service, from June 1969 to June 1975.
