impossible." Changes in military aviation have occurred in an intense rapidity. Even so, civilian aviation has many breathtaking transformations over the last few decades. By recognizing how the history of airpower has led to the current dominance of aerospace in our world, we can become more prepared for future while developing ways to create better and more advanced world. Col. Phillip S. Mellinger created the Ten Propositions Regarding Airpower, which discusses the strength and importance of…
Manhattan SS during the Cold War. Nonetheless, the Arctic was monitored by NORAD continuous; both North America, Canadian, and American workers worked together in the air approaches. NORAD after the Cold War ended, continued to give control, and aerospace warning (Charron, 2015). Additionally, on January 1, 1947, the U.S. Pacific Command was developed as a unified command; it’s equally known as the largest and oldest U.S. commands consolidated. The United States Pacific Command (USPACOM) new…
At seven years old, I was awestruck by the universe on the big movie screen. Star Wars had me hooked; I NEEDED a telescope so I could learn about what lies beyond the sky I see at night. My parents bought the telescope I yearned for and helped me look at the moon on clear nights. Together we watched shuttle launches on television and read about expeditions online. A few years later, they took me to see a shuttle launch at Cape Canaveral. We arrived just before launch because the visitor’s center…
During my graduate studies, I plan on studying aerospace engineering, with an emphasis of materials. Specifically, how materials behave and endure in extreme conditions like high radiation, high and low temperatures, and long durations of vacuum exposure. Once I graduate with my PhD in Aerospace Engineering, I will continue to conduct research and teach students as a research professor. Through my academia, I have found…
Controversial Book Puts Judaism in the Hot Seat For the author, Judaism is not even free from spiritual and political machinations by a few individuals. Aerospace materials scientist Sami M. El-Soudani deeply studied the Abrahamic religions – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam – for 20 years while authoring a great number of scientific papers. In his critical study of the three religions, he came to realize that the “search for God who demands our ‘faith in the unseen’ has been the most…
a distant fantasy. However, upon discovering the power of science and technology in high school, I recognized it might not be so elusive after all. Business magnate, inventor, and engineer Elon Musk inspired me to pursue studies and a career in aerospace engineering, with the ultimate goal of making humanity a 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…
NASA administrators were being pulled in many directions and there were scheduling pressure from Congress, the White House, U.S government, the American public, government agencies and aerospace industry were all demanding actions on launching. The operating budget cuts also played a major part because of the “reforms for promoting flight safety in NASA’s management structure had been implemented. Also, the emphasis concerning technical oversight of the shuttle program was restricted. Meanwhile,…
viewing of Jupiter. That moment still affects me today since I have continued to stargaze in my yard or when I’m in the vast cornfield around my neighborhood. I have realized from my passion of viewing constellations, it has led to my interest in aerospace engineering, as well as, with my fascination in visiting engineering open houses…
Over the years, the industries of structural, mechanical, aerospace engineering, materials science, medicine, prosthetics, and many more have called for stronger, lightweight, low maintenance materials to withhold the stresses and loads that come with everyday usage of materials. Material scientists and engineers have studied and manufactured composite materials to cater to the needs of these various industries; however, composites have limitations as well. Many composites need repairs after…
“To remain the leader in aerospace technology, we must continue to perform research and invest in the people who will create the breakthroughs of tomorrow, preserving a critical component of our nation’s economic competitiveness for future generations.” (Pg.1 ) He uses past missions…
