This planet, Mars, uncolonized, and only partially discovered, makes Mark face many challenges. In the end, the reader will be surprised that Mark is still even alive…

SUMMARY We found the number of rocket launches from Mahia Peninsula needed to establish a lunar colony to be 28. This is after considering the success rate of our chosen rocket model with the amount of rockets needed to bring all the people and equipment to establish a lunar colony. INTRODUCTION How many rocket launches from Mahia Peninsula would it take to establish a lunar colony? Astronomy, from Greek for the ‘law of the stars’ is arguably the first human science. Since the dawn of time,…

Donald Slayton had developed a love for curiosity and exploring at a very young age. The National Aviation Hall of Fame states that when Donald was a young child, he would always explore the world around him; so much that his mother tied him to a clothesline to keep him from exploring too much. But his love for exploring never stopped there. When Donald was in high school, his love for flying sparked. And since then on, he was known for his love of flying. His motto, "Keep 'em flying" was even…

In April of 1959 Leroy Gordon Cooper Jr. was selected to be one of the seven original astronauts in Project Mercury (NASA). According to the NASA website, the astronauts immediately began training for their mission at Langley (NASA). Their training “included a "little of everything" ranging from a graduate-level course in introductory space science to simulator training and scuba-diving” (NASA). While all the astronauts were given different jobs, Cooper’s was to deal with the Redstone rocket,…

A six-member crew of astronauts, under the leadership of Commander Melissa Lewis, decide to suddenly abort their assignment on Mars after they learn of an imminent storm. In the process of exiting the red planet, Mark Watney, one of the crew members, gets hit and disappears from his colleagues. An attempt to search for him by Commander Lewis proofs futile. The crew thinks Watney is dead and proceeds to leave Mars. As the head of the crew, Commander Lewis notifies Teddy Sanders, the NASA director…

“And the Nobel Peace Prize of 2017 goes to… James Turtle for bringing back the for cancer and putting his very life on the line to save our existence, while furiously flirting with danger.” Respectfully staying humble James responded, “No thank you, I do not want the award, all I wanted to do was save humanity.” “Do you choose to accept this mission?” “Yes, yes sir I do.” “Here is your mission James Turtle: It seems scientists have found that the moon rocks have possessed a cure for cancer. You…

No, the Space shuttle Columbia could not have made the necessary orbital maneuvers to dock with the ISS for safety. The shuttle Columbia launched to an orbital inclination of 39 degrees. (Gebhardt 2013) The International Space Station however is at an inclination of 51.6 degrees, a 12.6 degrees difference.(Cooney n.d.) After launch, the shuttle does not have enough fuel on board to be able to make an inclination change of this magnitude. Because of the extra weight shuttles are not loaded…

being a princess or dragon-slayer fades we need something to replace it. Without a future where will we be? Nowhere, that is the correct answer. The Mars Mission gives people something to dream of. In the words of Buzz Aldrin “refocusing our space program on Mars for America’s future, we can restore that sense of wonder and adventure in space we knew in the summer of 1969.” It will spark our imaginations to think of what can and will be, it could ignite our creative spirits and bring around a…

It's October of 1957, and Sputnik “each of a series of Soviet artificial satellites, the first of which was the first satellite to be placed in orbit.” has just launched, and we're at the applied physics lab associated It is Monday morning and all the news just talk about this satellite that’s now orbiting the planet. In the lab there are all of the physics geeks who are thinking that’s thing is incredible. Two of the researchers at the cafeteria table chatting with their colleagues, they…
