“Teamwork coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress. working together is success,” (Henry Ford). The United States has been given the task of creating a lunar colony. With this mission we need to be thoughtful and specific when we pick the people to go on this mission. As the late Ford said we need the right type of people to work together to make the lunar colony a success. To begin the selection process we need to look at different types of citizens and what they can bring…

National Aeronautics and Space Administration budget because the trip was so expensive. Scientists talked about their plans to further missions to the moon and eventually Mars. The reason for human exploration of the solar system was because of the Apollo missions. President John F. Kennedy once said, “land a man on the Moon by 1970 and return him safely to Earth”(Mendell, pg 24). Apollo indeed accomplished this goal, because of the desire for human exploration in space. Wendell Mendell was…

out to me. This stood out to me because of the difference it would make in the world if we did not have it today. The new frontier is modern day space. I came up with three different reasons why modern day space can relate to the book The Martian Chronicles. My reasons are the dangers of space, the benefits of space travel, and the technology used in space travel. On page 44 of The Martian Chronicles, the character captain John Black says, “As far as we’ve been able to figure, the York…

the part of the United States and other various space agencies. So, they foremost require money, or they will literally not get off the ground. In the United States, the ability of NASA to explore space in a consistent and revolutionary capacity has been limited by a dwindling budget, which took up at its height less than 4.5% of the federal budget and, in the modern day, takes up about 0.5% of the federal budget (Kring). As such, the budget of the space program must be sufficiently funded in…

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. It is known as the Red Planet. Many scientist and engineers have been trying to get people up to Mars and colonize it. However, we shouldn’t go up to Mars in an attempt to colonize the planet. It would be very time consuming. Along with this, there would be many health issues we would have to solve. Also, a lot of safety concerns are also present. Here is why we shouldn’t go and colonize Mars. If we did go to Mars, it would take humans a really long…

approximately .019 cents. A measly .00019 percent. Therefore, NASA earns around seventeen billion dollars a year total. Seventeen billion dollars is too much money to be spending “...on space exploration when we…

I started my life not in Wanaque, New Jersey, or even Abingtin, Pennsylvania, but on planet Zitron where I was the only human. The story starts as so: See my mother was the only human-like creature that had ever touched Zitron. She met my father, Josef, sorceror of Mars, on a trip to alter the Earth’s rotation. Now on a new trip, a secret mission, she was captain of the greatest spaceship of all time, the Superbooster, a rocket she had engineered herself. After devouring two bags of Zitron…

For this Quarter, I viewed the Deerfield Honors Band Recital on the eleventh of this month. It was a great concert that featured many soloists and groups that played some jazz pieces and marches. I heard a lot of great music and I learned a lot at the recital. The first piece I enjoyed was Fly Me to the Moon. It was performed by Zachary Klein on drums who was accompanied by Alexander Ambrose. It was written by Bart Howard in 1954 but was made famous by Frank Sinatra a decade later. Frank…

Once the smallest member of the planetary system and now merely a “dwarf planet”, Pluto’s story has always fascinated people of the Earth. The tiny planet always manages to intrigue scientists and if the latest report is anything to go by, one can only say that Pluto is peculiar to the core. Scientists are saying that the planet may have hosted liquids on its surface within the last million years. The fact was stated in a report which was tabled at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference on…
