Taking place during 1936, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) displays American Archaeologist, Indiana Jones, who escapes a booby-trapped temple in Peru, and gets hold of a golden idol. Jones then gets surrounded by a rival archaeologist, named Dr. René Belloq, and the indigenous people of Hovito. Outnumbered by these people, Jones surrenders the golden idol to Dr. Belloq, and escapes by getting onto a floatplane that is waiting for him. Jones then returns back to his teaching job at Marshall College…
Gattaca is a science fiction film about the idea of science and technology in the late 20th century, that created an imaginary and futuristic society based on genetic engineering. Gattaca features the actors, Ethan Hawke (Vincent Anton Freeman), Jude Law (Jerome Eugene Morrow), Uma Thurman (Irene Cassini), and Loren Dean (Anton Freeman), to relay the story of a young boy who was conceived outside the eugenics program, and struggles to overcome genetic discrimination and fulfill his dream of…
The historic launch of the Apollo 11 mission carried three astronauts toward the moon. Two astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz aldrin set foot on the moon for the first time in human history as 530 million people around the world watched their mission on television. The first moon landing was launched on july 16 1969 in order to complete a national goal set by President John F. Kennedy. Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. The first steps on the moon were taken by Neil…
A slight disruption but everything seems a ok. ¨Oh god said Seymour.¨ The computer stated nearly all of you were in a coma for over 4 months now. All four got up from their beds and walked out feeling normal they found that the building they were in was over a kilometer tall. ¨What the heck said Seymour.¨ The elevator transported them down at 60 miles per hour. Out they stepped, the…
Lumin Abdur-Rashid Rhetorical Analysis The article “No Longer a Dream: Silicon Valley Takes On the Flying Car” written by John Markoff. The technology industry is constantly creating new things. An aerospace engineer, has piloted a flying car (Kitty Hawk Flyer) above a lake about 100 miles north of San Francisco.

We have gone to the moon numerous of times since Neil Armstrong walked on the Earth's natural satellite almost 50 years ago on July 20, 1969, with the assistance of aerospace engineers (Dunbar). Now it is time to “boldly go where no man has gone before.” Aerospace engineering has enabled men and women to complete the imaginable. This career consists of two overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Aeronautical engineers work with the principles of physics of…

Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission in the American Apollo space program and the third intended to land on the Moon. The craft was launched on April 11, 1970, at 13:13 CST from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded two days later, crippling the Service Module(SM) upon which the Command Module (CM) depended. Despite great hardship caused by limited power, loss of cabin heat, shortage of potable water, and the critical need to…
You are an astronaut, and your crew leaves you on mars. Everyone thinks you died. I am reading The Martian by Andy Weir, and I am on page 251. This book is about a man named Mark Watney. Mark is left on mars under the impression that his demise happened. He finds safety in the Hab, but the food available will only last him about 300 sols (days on mars). Even if anyone on Earth knew he was alive, a rescue trip would take over 800 sols to get to mars. When reading, I recognized three merits: humor…
intrigued by it. So I was excited to learn more about the Apollo missions with this assignment. The Apollo programs initiated much of our country’s scientific exploration in space, more specifically the Moon. Beginning in 1967 with Apollo 1, which was unfortunately lost to fire during testing, the Apollo missions sought to physically explore what was only observable up until then. Scientists were motivated by their curiosity of what…
