There are a host of engineering problems that must be faced in order to safely transit astronauts to and from the moon. Key challenges include:

1. Takeoff
Generating enough force to escape Earth's gravity requires enormous energy.

2. Propulsion
Ensuring enough fuel is available to return to Earth.

3. Artificial Environment
Creating an artificial life support system for the occupants of the ship. This must supply oxygen, filter out surplus carbon dioxide, provide heating, radiation shielding and a perfect seal to protect the occupants from the cold vacuum of space.

4. Food and water
Ensuring enough supplies are packed to keep all the occupants alive during the multi-day trip.

Answer:

Eastern Europe (and Russia)

Explanation:

Eastern Europe at that time of Truman's presidency was the only place with communism at that point. Truman's beliefs would be shared with that of the UK, with Churchill declaring that an "Iron curtain" had been built, separating eastern europe from that of the west.

Truman's policy of Containment involved allowing Communism to remain where it was, but preventing it from spreading. As a result, the US would begin helping other countries, by aiding Greece in its civil war and Turkey from being threatened by the USSR. He also concocted the Marshall plan to help countries in western europe from falling to Communism.

Answer:

Women workers increased during the war.

Explanation:

There was a resistance to women working first as they were not seen to have the stamina nor the minds to understand and handle something so "unfeminine." Women began to work in the defense industry during WWII as many men were overseas fighting and their labor was needed gravely.
