Before that, to define capitalism would be to define it as both an economic and political system that countries such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom function under more than others. It occurs when private owners such as companies have…

companies. These companies have already proved to be more efficient in terms of development time and cost. Private companies can raise funds from investors, source supplies from anywhere, and avoid government inefficiencies. For example: the company SpaceX has proposed a rocket that will send humans to mars in just 1 launch, whereas the SLS would require multiple launches to send people to mars. Not only will it achieve the goal with less launches, the rocket will have a reusable design, further…

In the story of Odysseus, he goes on a long journey to get to his goal, home. His story can relate to life. Like the Odyssey, life is full of obstacles that will try to block you from your goals. Like the Odyssey, written by the famous poet homer. I will also encounter monsters in my life that will try to block me from my goal of becoming a astrophysicist. The first obstacle will encounter is high school. Like Calypso's island, I am trapped in school until I graduate. Like in the Odyssey, I am…

research this rover may be able to accomplish its mission within its estimated time. Although NASA has a limited budget, they aren’t the only space agency looking into Mars. An example is SpaceX, who has been testing different rockets that can accurately land back toward the planet. Joel Achenbach states that “SpaceX committee member John Sommerer said that it is unrealistic to expect a commercial company to spend the money and take on the risk necessary to achieve human exploration on the…

colonize Mars. It feels more like a sci-fi action movie with dramatic, electronic music in the background, sleek artistry and text, and a climactic build up to a capsule landing on Mars.

A NASA video published…
