A Great Leader I believe that the character Clarke Griffin played by Eliza Taylor in the show The 100 displays the characteristics of what makes a great leader. The television series takes place a century in the future, years after planet Earth is destroyed and the remaining survivors residing in an international space station. The space station known as The Ark discovered that their resources are running out. In order to insure their future is still in sight, the leaders of The Ark sends 100…

Michael Collins. Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon in a lander named "Eagle." They were the first people to land on the moon. Collins did not land. He circled the moon in the Apollo capsule. After they landed, Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the moon. Armstrong took the first step on the moon. He said, "That's one small step for (a) man; one giant leap for mankind." Armstrong and Aldrin spent more than two hours outside their spacecraft on the moon. They studied the surface. They collected…

America chose "to go to the moon in this decade, ... not because [it was] easy, but because [it was] hard." Was this really true? Some believe that there was never much thought put into the decision, and this explanation by President Kennedy was really a cop out that showed that his administration did not place any real thought into deciding whether or not to go to the moon. However, many explanations for the attempt to go to the moon are very compelling. One explanation was that America had to…

September. During this drawing the sky was cloudy. I didn’t see the Moon out at this time. The constellation Sagittarius was located to the left of the sky. Then…

If there's anything Floridians love, it's cigars, aliens and bath salts. One fortunate resident was able to get two-thirds of those the other day on film. One video shows a cigar-shaped UFO flying over the skies of Saint Petersburg. Scientists were not available to comment as they had their hands full with a weird new comet. Plus, no one believes a Florida man anyway. DID UFO CIGAR ESCAPE FROM CUBA? A Florida man in Saint Petersburg caught some interesting footage the other day. No, it was not…

Mercury's rare passage across the face of the sun on Monday, May 9, should be an exciting event for skywatchers and scientists alike. The planet's pass across Earth's nearest star may provide information about its thin atmosphere, assist in the hunt for worlds around other stars, and help NASA hone some of its instruments. As seen from Earth, Mercury appears to cross the disk of the sun — an event known as a transit — only about 13 times per century. Currently, transits of Mercury always occur…

“In 1999, the well-known American climber Conrad Anker discovered Mallory’s body on a sloping edge at 27,000 feet, where it had come to rest after an apparent fall seventy-five years earlier.” (Krakauer, 1999, p.18). After conducting further research on this statement, nothing invalidates it but one part; Mallory’s body was found 63 years prior to when Krakauer said he was found. In 1936, Everest pioneer Frank Smythe spotted Mallory’s body during a telescope survey. It was right where Mallory…

these creatures were being hunted down by the military, and then they were being kidnapped for further research. (Dummy Drops and UFOs) It has been said that in 1976, the moon landing was all a hoax made in a studio that was broadcasted across the world. There have been reports that state that the first few minutes of the moon landing were not broadcasted because of what the astronauts had…

Rise of the Rocket Girls is an interesting read about the female computers at the Jet Propulsion Lab. The book detailed about the achievements and failures of the Army’s and NASA’s computing group for many space exploration missions. The book exemplifies the importance of trial and error in developing scientific discoveries. Throughout the stories of the many female figures at JPL, the theme of success and failure echoed in their legacy. Failure can be considered as a principal part of the…
