The first cooperative human space flight project between the United States and the Soviet Union took place in 1975. The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project was designed to test the…

House all to himself, many doctors, scientist, and medical research to get involved. House also developed the first surgical treatment for Meniere’s disease. Astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr. had the Meniere’s disease, House found a way to cure the disease. When House cleared him, the Apollo fourteen mission Shepard was cure in 1971. Shepard became the first American launched into space in 1961 If House never rebuild his plans I don’t think all cochlear implanters would not be as blessed as they…

One social factor for building the rocket was to show the might of Germany and strike fear…

bosses and colleagues. Johnson went on to calculate the trajectory patterns and backup navigational charts for the space flight of Alan Shepard, the first American in space. In 1962, when NASA used…

When cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space giving the red a huge victory against the United States. But Alan Shepard actually could have beaten the soviet had they decided not to test the launch missile more.

Katherine aided the U.S. during the ‘Space Race’ against the rest of the world (namely the Russia), and helped put a Alan Shepard in orbit around the Earth, and send three men to moon. When first calculating the location and time of Shepard’s departure to space, NASA struggled greatly. According to the article Who is Katherine Johnson?, through her tremendous efforts and…

Steaming from the Cold War, two of the world superpowers were in a technological battle with each other. As nuclear bombs started to be developed, both the United States and Soviet Union needed an advantage such as where to launch these bombs or ways to launch them from space to their target. No nation on Earth had developed a technological device to do such a complicated task. Right as the cold war faded in the past only the future was looked upon.
