    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…

    Astronomy is one of my favorite areas of science. I love learning about it and always find it so interesting study. I chose to research the topic of “Space Exploration: Apollo missions” for this project. I think that it is a significant area of science to explore because there is so much that we do not know. There are probably so many things that we have never imagined that we can learn by studying space further and exploring all of the Lord’s beautiful creations. Through the urging of…

    I suppose you could say earth was always doomed, these creatures have been planning, strategizing. Perhaps even since man-kind began, there’s no telling. But one thing’s for sure, they’ve been watching us for years. It was October 30th 1939 when these extraterrestrials made themselves known to us humans. I was driving past a suburban area in New Jersey listening to the radio when a professor in Illinois reported seeing 3 explosions happening at equal intervals on mars. I remember Professor…

    In 1997, the Longaberger Basket Company built its headquarters in Newark, Ohio. However, anyone who glances at the building is guaranteed to do a double-take. At first glance, the building looks like a giant basket, complete with handles. The company’s founder, Dave Longaberger, oversaw the design, stating, “if they can put a man on the moon, they can certainly build a building that’s shaped like a basket.” He was able to create this eye-catching metaphor by integrating the parts of a building…

    Kennedy also used pathos to show the people the importance of joining the space race. At the beginning of his speech he talks about how: Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today, despite the fact that this Nation’s own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that of our population as a whole, despite that, the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished…

The website goes on to talk about how Gene first went to space as a crew member aboard the Gemini 9A. On this mission particular mission, he became the second American, and third person ever, to exit his spacecraft while in orbit-what is most…
