As a result the launch was delayed as they were people who were not sure if it would normally launch without any problem given the fact that weather conditions were not conducive. At…

I found this passage in the last section of the novel to be very applicable to the personalities of Morrison 's characters. The quote can be interpreted in many different ways; however, I believe that Morrison is trying to explain a cycle of the “powerless” black man due to coming from a broken past. Many of the characters in Toni Morrison 's Jazz (1992) originate from “broken pasts.” Their pasts have been negative due to the lack of a stable foundation in their childhood. The characters in the…

One day, David Bowie watched “2001: A Space Odyssey” while stoned, and was inspired to write a song titled “ Space Oddity,” a song about an astronaut named Major Tom who is lost in space.

Everyone that John Glenn approached or was approached by was treated with respect. John Glenn worked hard and did everything that he could do to help the space program. I think of John Glenn as the glue that kept the whole team of…

The Ariane 5 Programming Failure In 1996, a European rocket ship called the Ariane 5 was into space from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, Guyane, a small French territory on the northeast coast of South America, only to swerve off course and then explode a mere 40 seconds later. An investigation by independent committee was launched (hehe) approximately one week later, to determine the cause and assess the appropriateness of testing, as well as to make recommendations to fix the problem and…

Statement of purpose -Nishita Vegi Ever since the fire, flight has been the most intriguing thing that evaded the grasp of man for decades at once. Soaring like a bald eagle on a bright summer’s day seemed to be the stuff dreams were made of, until a few decades back. Now, all of mankind dreams about living on stars. When you say flight, I think of birds. When you say birds, I think of their wings. When you say wings, I think of an aircraft. When you say aircraft, I think of the birds flying.…
