Fall of the Old World Order
The Fall of the Old World Order is a long and complicated period in human history, resulting in the complete collapse of nearly all major governments after the Nuclear end to World War III. It has it's beginning's through the entirety of the Cold War, and later the Russian-Arabian Conflict which later expanded into the Russian-American War and finally World War III. However, historians argue that the Russian-Arabian Conflict and the Russian-American conflict can be considered part of World War III, due to the sheer size and constant wars.

World War II - Nuclear Arms Race
During World War II the Nazi's had killed approximately six million Jews, as well as approximately 11 million others during the '''Holocaust. It was during World War II that the United States of America, USSR, and England 'came together to sign the Declaration of the United Nations ''against Nazi Germany, and later against Imperial Japan.

However, following the collapse of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, the United States anti-communist stance began the downward spiral resulting in the Cold War between the two largest super powers on the Earth. The United States, and the USSR which had expanded it's territory into former Nazi Germany. In 1950, the anti-communist United States began crack-downs on Communist ideologies in the United States, and following the USSR's first nuclear weapon developed and tested First Lightning, the US and USSR entered a perpetual state of being on the brink of thermo-nuclear war.

Soon after the testing, the US and Russia began to intensify their efforts to develop the most powerful atomic weapons, which later became shown with the creation of Castle-Bravo a 15 megaton hydrogen bomb, and then later the 50 megaton Tsar Bomba in October of 1961.

In the same year of the detonation of the Tsar Bomba, the Cold War had reached all new heights, when on April 12, 1961 the USSR achieved a new feat in space exploration when Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space.

Space Race (1961-1985)
Following Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's successful launch onboard Vostok-1, the United States of American began to push NASA to new lengths to send the first of the Mercury 7 into space onboard the Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicles. They delivered Alan Shepard, and Gus Grissom. However, the United States had secretly developing a much more powerful rocket that was to be a stepping stone to the moon.

Following the success of Project Mercury, it officially ended in 1963 and was followed up with Project Gemini which sought to improve the rockets in development for the the Mercury Project, and used the Atlas-Agena and Titan-II GLV. The mission duration was used to prove the feasibility of long duration missions for the Apollo Program. In 1962 John F. Kennedy, the then US President following the successful launch and retrieval of John Glenn on the Atlas, he gave one of the most influential speeches of the 20th century."'We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.'"The speech JKF gave at Rice University was intended to riel the American people and to introduce to the American people the details of the Apollo Program, 6 years before the moon landings of the Apollo 11. The Apollo Program was one of the greatest successes in human space-aeronautics, using a rocket that was 300 feet tall, or the length of a football field while at the same time using new metals never used before on a rocket to space.

However, the Apollo Program was nearly discontinued as fast as it started. During a routine dress rehearsal for Apollo 1 the crew was killed in a accident caused by a fire which set the cabin ablaze. Following this incident the US continued to develop the Apollo Program, and improved the capsule with new materials inside, as well as improvement to the safety of the electrical systems as well. The Rocket itself was the most powerful rocket developed for human space flight until the launch of the Mars Initiative in 2032. It had a total thrust of 7.5 million pounds, and was designed for launch into lunar orbit and for heavy payloads such as Skylab.

On July 16, 1969 the Apollo 11 capsule was launched to the moon. They traveled for four days until they arrived into lunar orbit. On July 20, 1969 at 20:17:40 UTC, Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to step foot on the moon."'That's one small step for a man... One giant leap for mankind.' "The success of the Apollo 11 launch reignited the space race into a whole new frenzy between the USSR and the United States. The Soviet Union c
