Astronaut

government may perceive our opinions. I am trying to convince the government to not waste any lives during the mission to Mars. As far as what I have researched, the technology currently will not bring safety to the astronauts or conserve the taxpayer’s money. When I stated the number of astronaut deaths, this should get them to ponder on what the taxpayers want from this purpose. Why should we dissipate the money on a program that could bring horrible death to someone? I am conducting the logos…

would one, even live on a planet like this? The red planet is very far away. The trip alone to get to mars, at the right time of the year, takes at least nine months. Astronauts would have to be stuck in a large vehicle, like, space. That only one of the issues. These astronauts that are in a tiny spacecraft have to be with other astronauts for 9 months. For me, even being in a car with people that I like is really hard. Every little thing starts to annoy you. Those little quirks about people,…

between the USA and the Soviet Union. However, all of the USA astronauts were white men. This was still during a time where minorities were not given full equal opportunity, and neither were women. It took over twenty years for women to be able to go to space, and this almost had to come after the entire women’s movement. Women had to fight for their right to be in space. It took even longer for there to officially be a female astronaut, despite multiple characteristics pointing out that they…

he wanted to be an astronaut. There was just one problem; he was Canadian. There had never been a Canadian astronaut and still wouldn't be for another 15 years. That didn't stop Chris though; from that day on every decision he made was with his dream in mind. We all have a far-out dream like Chris that we mostly keep to ourselves like starting a business or publishing a book; however, Col. Hadfield is special. He is the embodiment of focus and discipline; just like all astronauts he was…

country is filled with interesting people, one of these people is Astronaut John W. Young, also known as John Watts Young. John Young was selected by NASA to be an astronaut in the September of 1962, thus beginning his long career. Young has been on many flights including Gemini 3 on March Twenty-third, 1965 , this was the first Gemini mission to be manned. On July 18, 1966, launched Gemini 10 carrying Young and another astronaut named Michael Collins. The primary purpose of Gemini 10 was to…

who believes strongly that “The energy is in you. You have the power to change hearts.” I want to teach, and inspire confidence and passion in the hearts of children. Renowned Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield once said, “Becoming an astronaut...takes more than a phone call...You have to learn to think like an astronaut.” In my opinion, this advice is universal and applies particularly…

Some of most agreed upon evidence by speculators stems from the photography taken by the Apollo Astronauts. The claims state that the camera technology available in the early 1960’s was too poor at capturing shadowing and lighting that the multiple light sources captured on the moon must have been impossible and only doable with the usage of the use of external lighting. Believing that an entire camera set was brought to the moon to take pictures is quite ludicrous, leading to the only logical…

Throughout the decades astronaut foods has changed greatly. Astronauts no longer have to eat from a tube or cubes. Skylab and other laboratories are trying to make foods more tasteful and convenient for the astronaut and the space within the shuttle. The preserving of food has a major impact on the body of astronauts and can surely be improved with time, technology and examination. Scientists also are trying to improve the ability to expand the shelf life of many food items. Making foods that…

a different dimension that can be deadly or breath-taking. People are curious to understand the space and what lies beyond the universal. This can be accomplished by sending astronauts to space to explore the changes in Earth and operate advanced technology such as Satellites and space stations. Nevertheless, most astronauts are not ready to withstand primitive conditions such as prolonged absences and stress environment. Even though they train themselves to be prepare, they are not professional…

handful of what astronauts have to deal with on their missions through space and walking among other planets. While it is an exciting thought that humanity may be living on another planet, such as Mars, one day, it may not be as easy as society thinks when we finally make it there. An experiment was done by NASA to simulate what it would be like for a group of people to live on terrain similar to Mars (Cornet, 2015). “A major component of the…
