"But the nerve-wracking thrill shared by one-fifth of the planet's population in 1969 - including tens of thousands who bought their first TV especially to witness the moon landing - was less a "giant leap for mankind" than a U.S. hammer-blow to the Soviet Union and a tipping point in the Cold War from which Moscow's Communists never recovered. Mr. Armstrong died this weekend at 82, but the legacy of his moon landing lives on."(An American triumph)The prospect of landing a man on the moon was so enticing that 1/5 of the planet's population tuned into the broadcast. The first moon landing tipped the scales in the Cold War against the Soviet Union, which later fell after the actual fall of the Berlin Wall. The first moon landing fits with my claim of coexistence between opposing forces, because it deals with the fact that it was the great innovation in space exploration, science, and mathematics, However it was also a ploy in the Cold War ( The U.S. against the Soviet Union) that tipped the scales in the U.S.' favor.
