Some say there is a god greater than Hades, greater than Poseidon, even greater than Zeus. His name is Elohim. He is not just creator of heaven and earth but of the universe. He had a life and a family until a disease caught to their “Earth” or home. He lived on a planet larger than earth, larger than the UY Scuti. After the disease came, he sent his only child, Kyrios, to live his life, to do the greatness they never got to do. The Descent I had been in space now for what seems like forever,…

Elon Musk's plan to colonize Mars just got some serious help. SpaceX scientists are now working with NASA to find the best areas for the Red Dragon spaceship to land. With these two forces combined, they hope to get humans to the red planet is just five years. Until then, they'll be a lot of talk about space, profits and of course, aliens. SpaceX and NASA Find Ideal Place for Aliens on Mars SpaceX scientist Paul Wooster found one particular area on Mars with a flat surface. Furthermore, it's…

Daniel Ritchie Professor Ms. Macdonald English 26 October 1015 The effect of moon phases on human behavior. The term “Lunar effect” refers to the connection between the moon phases and human behavior. The recorded statistics were recorded in correlation with the phases of the moon. Mainly focusing on abnormal behavior during the full moon. Violence during the full or close to the full moon. 11,613 cases of aggravated assault in a five year period happened more often around the time of…

My Day at the Kennedy Space Center Huge, looming rockets, each one paving the way to landing on the moon, and higher. Aall gathered into one place. - The Kennedy Space Center. Some of America’s greatest achievements are stored there, in perfect form. And if you can pay the price, all of these history-making rockets are unlocked to you. It was very bright out. And very hot. Even with the air conditioning in the white van, we all were still sweating. That’s because we were in Cape Canaveral,…

A feature identifiable through my telescope is the Mare Tranquillitatis or The Sea of Tranquility. Once thought to be an ocean on the Moon. According to NASA, its equatorial position and smooth fields of basaltic lavas was ideal for the first manned lunar landing. Mare Tranquillitatis has a diameter of proximally 873km. When view from Earth, it appears dark this is because the crater has been flooded with mare basalts. Mare Crisium (the sea of Crises), a “nectarine basin (about 3.9 billion…

Viking ½. Nasa’s Viking project found its place in US history when it became the first American mission to make it to the surface of Mars. Two of the same spaceships were built, each containing an orbiter and a lander. Th spacecraft’s both flew together when they entered the orbit of Mars. The landers separated and the began the decent to the surface of the rusty red planet known as Mars. Viking 1 touched down in the southern hemisphere while Viking 2 lander made it way to Utopia Planitea.…

THE MARINER PROGRAM Mariner 4 flew by Mars in July 1965 This was followed by Mariner 6 and 7 in 1969.The images sent back showed what appeared to be a geologically dead world. There was an abundance of craters much like the moon. It was also from these spacecraft that we learned that Mars' polar caps were made of Carbon Dioxide ice instead of water ice. In 1971, Mariner 9 flew by Mars and mapped the entire planet down to 1 km. These images brought a wealth of information and it soon become clear…

On September 28th,2015 NASA researchers announced that they had discovered liquid water on the surface of Mars. They actually told news agencies that they had something big to discuss in relation to Mars. It took several space craft and several centers of research five years to come to this finding. Why is there such a push to find liquid water on mars? As far as science knows, life requires water. Rockets require hydrogen and oxygen. Humans require oxygen to breath and to function. If we want…

375,000 outside temporary workers partook in the program. Abe Silverstein who is the Director of Space Flight Development, proposed the name "Apollo" the reason was actually “Apollo” is the name of a god in ancient Greek mythology with attractive connotations and actually in order to naming spaceflight projects with mythological gods and heroes had been start with Mercury. First Apollo launched in 1967 and ended with a tragedy and the last one Apollo 17 hosted the first scientist-astronaut to…

throughout the world in July of 1969. But how did America get that far and what did Americans think of NASA and the government in its attempt to send a man beyond our home on planet Earth. Man had never ventured out into our solar system up until the Apollo program took flight in the late 1960’s and most would argue that this would not have been possible without John F. Kennedy and his bold statement in 1962 stating that “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade…
