The Apollo Missions are a very important part of the space explorations project that the United States of America underwent. The missions consisted of tests and planning that ultimately landed men upon the moon. This was a great feat for mankind and allowed us to further investigate space technology and transform it into what we have today so that we might be able to further discover the world around us (Nasa). These missions allowed for us to understand the moon and it’s relationship to the…

Life, until now is known to be found only on earth. Although, life has travelled to space but it cannot survive there without the necessary induced conditions. Only lichen and mosses have survived the vacuum of space and UV radiations yet. Imagine if you could survive the space without these conditions! Tardigrade (Water Bear), a water dwelling, 8 legged, segmented micro-animal has survived the space without any protection. They are prevalent in mosses and lichen and have a lifespan of a year.…

future of space travel could change, but now you see the rocket explode into a fiery blaze. On september 1st, 2016 a SpaceX test rocket named Falcon 9 exploded from a miscalculation with the oxygen. The rocket exploded on the Cape Canaveral Air Force station launch pad. This disaster raises concerns to many people about future launches. After the explosion SpaceX quickly found the problem, it was the super-chilled oxygen that the company uses to allow them for more dense storage. The oxygen was…

Thank you for choosing my school to select three artifacts for a time capsule that will be taken to Mars on your next space mission. I have chose three artifacts that would be significant to the future generation. These three artifacts consist of, a CD, a book, and a phone. I think these items would be significant because they were such monumental changes in our society today. The first artifact I chose is the CD, “Straight to DVD 2”. CD’s are disks that hold data, the data on the CD can be…

The Huygens probe was engineered to fulfill all objectives regarding Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. The probe was made to withstand landing and collect as much information as possible. The design enabled the probe to brake while descending into Titan’s atmosphere followed by parachuting the remaining spacecraft equipped with instruments to the moon’s surface. Engineers were uncertain where the landing site would be and enabled the probe with different features making it capable of landing on…

The Hubble Space Telescope has been working hard for many years to capture images of the farthest reaches of our universe. These machine show us the farthest we've ever been able to see into the deepest recesses of the universe. It reveals thousands of galaxies that are billions of light-years away. As time marches on, scientists will continue to learn more and more about our using universe advanced scientific technology to create tools to explore the depths of space. For example, thanks to the…

We built our rockets with little trouble. I didn’t finish, but because Joshua and Zack both did, we had no problems. We tested both rockets at varying angles and fuel levels to determine what angle and amount of water would allow the rockets to go the farthest. For some reason, we didn’t have all the data necessary to determine what the optimal fuel level and angle of launch would be for Zack’s rocket, but we did have enough to determine what it is for Joshua’s rocket. His rocket had an issue…

the SpaceX projects have encountered has been devastating. The largest, most impactful equipment failure that SpaceX has had to deal with is the crash of Falcon 9. SpaceX has a contract with NASA to do 12 cargo missions to the space station and resupply the space station. SpaceX’s…

The risks of space exploration outweigh the benefits. Nasa spends 18.4 billion dollars a year on space travel (Nasa).would you risk yourself? Or would you risk the money? Beyond all the risks money has a huge affect. Money is one of the biggest effects of space travel. Each rocket cost 500 million dollars and they send 166 rockets a year. which means that Nasa is spending 2.76 billion dollars a year. We can get a lot more useful stuff than all on a rocket. Space suits cost 2 million dollars and…

On February 20th 2003, The Station nightclub in caught on fire. Four hundred people had come in the club to hear the band Great White play, when fireworks set off by the band’s manager caught fire to the foam board on the stage. (NFPA, 2006). In the end 100 people lay dead. That makes it the fourth most deadly nightclub fire in the history of the US. The massive amount of deaths can be blamed mostly to the fireworks being to close to the soundboard, the facility being over packed, and the lack…
