Planes and rockets are both a unique part of engineering that have many aspects that are important in design. Aerospace engineers often tackle challenges in the office utilizing data and overseeing operations on daily basis. There have been failures and successes that make this field one of the most rigorous fields. Aerospace engineering can be considered one of the least forgiving forms of engineering, but it is worth the effort and achievements that come with it. There are many different…

parts of each planet and attempt to build a habitat there. After their recent success of landing a rocket upright, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX said “This is a critical step towards establishing a city on Mars. Without [reusable rockets], it would be unaffordable – it dramatically improves my confidence that a city on Mars is possible, it’s what all this is about.” SpaceX is currently at the for front of private space travel and will likely be the pioneers of a Martian…

radiation being one of them, so NASA is currently working on how to deal with the radiation on Mars. NASA is also building the Space Launch system, which is supposed to carry 130 metric tons, and is scheduled to launch for the first time in 2018. SpaceX is also on the race for Mars. They recently launched their Falcon 9 rocket, which brought many satellites into orbit that Elon Musk hopes will fund SpaceX’s Mars missions. Unlike NASA, Elon Musk believes that humans can get to Mars as soon as…

motive to make positive change in other peoples’ lives. Elon Musk is one of today’s most revolutionary and impactful business leaders. As the creator of Tesla, his electric cars contribute to the effort to be more eco-friendly. Musk is also CEO of SpaceX and he wants to setup a human colony on Mars as a safe haven for future generations if Earth ever becomes inhabitable. However, Musk did not accomplish these things overnight,…

Colonization is a term to many different disciplines. It is used broadly; from science to anthropology, from sociology to microbiology. Evidence-based history or scientific roots are prominent in all of these cases. However, when referring to Outer Space, the use of this term still draws from nothing but our imagination, since as of now no colonies outside of Earth exist. As society tears down Earths habitable parameters, scientists look for a new approach to life. If the human race wants to…

multi-planetary species. Launching a private space company and building a new rocket from scratch, Elon Musk has revolutionized the space industry. SpaceX has surmounted incredible financial, political, and most significantly engineering challenges. Though there have been a few rapid unscheduled disassemblies (Musk’s subtle term for explosion) along the way, SpaceX continues to innovate. Musk proclaims, “Come hell or high water, we are going to make this work.” Although working on rockets and…

As the dark grey panel of the door folded outward toward the dark vacuum, the white shadow of a man perched on the top step of the ladder. As he slowly descended toward the chalky grey surface, the whole world was watching. As the entire world sucked in its breath, as the tension and the intensity of the moment began to build, the famous, everlasting words of Neil Armstrong would create an era of fevered space exploration and excitement that will be unparalleled in the century to come. As moon…

Companies like SpaceX have already proven that they are capable of running their own space program. They have also demonstrated that introducing competition into the field can lead to new innovations that make space travel more efficient. While aerospace companies are…

Muhammad Ali is insisting that ‘impossible’ is used as an excuse to avoid taking on new, seemingly difficult endeavors. In one part he says that ‘impossible’ is used by people who “find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it.” This indicates that people use this word to do what they know they can in this world, and count everything they supposedly can’t as impossible. Ali says that they have the choice to validate more activities as…

Currently two companies already have a plan: Mars One , and SpaceX Mars 500 project which plans to send space travelers for the next decade in order to establish a permanent colony. SpaceX Elon Musk leader estimates that the project Mars Oasis could cost 36 billion dollars. (Jaggard, Victoria) Mars One Began its search for the four people that will become the first humans…
