"Martian Chronicles" - a series of stories by Ray Bradbury, related to a single theme and dedicated to expeditions to Mars, the first contact with extraterrestrial civilizations and the development of the alluring red planet, in which people find their shelter and new home. "Martian chronicles" consist of separate stories with often unrelated plots. At first they did not think as continuing each other, Bradbury collected them in one book only on the advice of the publisher after most of them…

The last scene that seemed weird. It was the scene when Mark Whatney was in the pod getting off mars with the pod in space and Mark had to get out and fly to the ship by poked holes in his space suit and used the holes as 2 air shooters that allowed him to fly through space and back to his crew like “Iron Man” The scene wasn’t science but more of a physics question. Looking at someone's personal answer on how was this scene so wrong. And the person…

The speech is titled “We Choose the Moon.” It all began when the cold war between the US and Soviet Union picked up. Space exploration quickly became a competition for both these nations. However, the real competition of the space race didn’t start until Russia launched Sputnik, the first satellite in orbit. The United States saw this as a threat to the expansive frontier of space. Their new goal was to get man to the moon. Once again the competition got harder. JFK’s speech was a bold and…

The United States Space Program was really started when Russia began their space endeavors. On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first satellite that orbited the Earth. This pushed the United States to put more time, energy, and money into their space program, thus launching the race to space between the USA and the Soviet Union. However, all of the USA astronauts were white men. This was still during a time where minorities were not given full equal opportunity, and neither were…

Fai Jubono, a young male human, few of his kind, is searching the galaxy for treasure with his droid J6, a repurposed, round, and rusty engineering droid who now helps Fai scavenge the Yinnad galaxy for spare parts, which he then sells for credits. At this time, Fai and J6 are headed to the ocean planet Kee. This planet used to be all ice, but had melted due to Kee getting significantly closer to the sun. Now multiple boats have been submerged underwater, which so called treasure beneath them.…

CHAPTER THREE Klingon 1. Inception of Klingon Klingon is a language made up for popular science fiction television series called Star Trek. It tells the adventures of a spaceship Enterprise and characters on this vehicle. This language was designed for a particular alien race Klingons. During watching the show, we may encounter many alien races like The Romulans, the Ferengi or The Klingons. We can see that they speak in their own language when talking among themselves. It makes watching…

In this exploration the trajectory of a spacecraft from Earth to Mars will be calculated. The aim is to determine the geometrical shape of the trajectory and what type of curve it is. Finding the interplanetary trajectory for a spacecraft is a real life problem, especially the one between Mars and Earth. It is currently solved by sophisticated computers but I am interested in learning how it is done. To do this Newton’s law of Gravitation has to be taken into account. It states that any two…

behind on Mars. Because of a dust storm, Mark's teammates believe that he is dead and left him behind. The Martian is a science fiction book that gives readers an idea of how people might be able to colonize Mars and gives readers an idea of what space is like. The Martian has an author that self-published his book, and who used humor and foreshadowing to keep his readers engaged. Andy Weir is the writer of the book, The Martian, a science fiction book that started out as an ebook that he…

The three careers that I am choosing to investigate from my major, aerospace engineering, are: propulsion development engineer, spacecraft structures engineer, and spacecraft materials engineer. Of these three, my first pick would be propulsion development engineer, followed by spacecraft structures engineer. Propulsion development is a branch of aerospace engineering that focuses on spacecraft and aircraft propulsion systems. I chose to investigate these three careers as I feel that I would…
