“5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Liftoff!” The message came over the intercom, it was time. I engaged the thrusters and aimed for the NARSS(North American Recreational Space Station). This will be my home for 15 years. You are probably wondering how I got here. Ever since I was five years old, I wanted to travel to space. Due to my good grades in math and science, I was able to enter into a competition to be the first to go to a space station resort and school orbiting earth. The station was constructed in 2050…

NASA “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Those where famous astronaut Neil Armstrong’s words when he stepped foot on the moon. However, that was only the first step in space exploration. There is no telling what the limits out there are beyond earth. Who sends people to outer space and the moon you might ask? Well, NASA does, they are experts in studying beyond earth. People at NASA are hard working men and women just like everyone else. All that needs to be done, is…

Skylab was the first manned mission into space in 1973. The mission lasted a total of 28 days and provided us with more information about space that we had previously not known. This was known as the first Skylab launch, and consisted of a three man crew which included Charles C. Conrad Jr. (commander), Paul J. Weitz (pilot), and Joseph Kerwin (scientist). While up in space they were able to conduct experiments which in total they spent 392 hours on. They were able to accomplish a lot up in…

Imagine living among the stars and other planets. The view of stars and planets would be amazing civilians should travel in space because we could find way more about other planets, stars, and galaxies than from down Here on Earth looking through satellites. NASA has said that we know that there is other life out there we just don't know where.We have found that there is a lot of planets out there with water, that means there could be plankton, which means there could be fish and other aquatic…

There has recently been a NASA spacecraft, called New Horizons, that flew to Pluto to do some studying. The spacecraft took off 9 ½ years ago from Cape Canaveral, Florida and its flight has spanned 3 billion miles. The spacecraft is operated from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. New Horizons has taken pictures of Pluto and has revealed a variety of landscapes. From soaring mountains to dunes to frozen ice. “Pluto is showing us a diversity of…

Scientists have been studying the moon, Enceladus, for a couple of months, so this is a newer subject. The topics I will be covering are Cassini, the icy crust, hydrothermal activity and depth, rotation of the moon, methane, and the moon’s atmosphere. There are also many scientific possibilities that lie in this moon, scientists believe that there is a possibility animals can live here. NASA is trying to create more space crafts to launch to other planets, to see if they are livable for…

EASSY Harry Bittering and his family live on Mars at the moment because Earth has an on going war with atomic bombs which could kill many people. Harry must go through the struggle on Mars because the moment he steps off the rocket he wants to go home because the new environment make him feel out of place.

rocket engines that provides it with the 7.5 million LBs The launch of Apollo 11 using the saturnV rocket Launched in Florida on July 16, 1969of thrust. The SaturnV’s main uses is to go to the moon and lower Earth orbit. The SaturnV has a tiny capsule that carries 3 astronauts on the mission to the moon, “Designed to fly three Apollo astronauts to the moon and back.” (Karl Tate) Many test fights were done before the Apollo used the rocket to go to the…

it was not. Mars One, a non-profit foundation led by a Dutch National and Entrepreneur planned to beat NASA in getting people to the Red Planet to establish a human settlement by 2027. With an estimated $6 billion for the first mission and $4 billion for every next manned mission, the idea is to send a crew of four every two years beginning 2027, steadily increasing the colony’s size. With the use of existing technology, the founder of Mars One believed that this voyage would…
