What is a Camaro? That is the question automotive reporters asked Chevrolet in 1966 when they introduced a new automobile model to their line of cars. In this paper I will be discussing the design of the Chevrolet Camaro starting with the origin of the car. Introduced in 1966 as a 1967 model year car, the Camaro has been in production for over fifty years with exception of an eight year gap from 2002 to 2010. This means the Camaro has been made for longer than most other domestic car models for…

“One Night The Moon” a film directed by Rachel Perkins explores some of the universal themes such as Power, distinctive voices, and racism to demonstrate how they define society. Kevin Rudd’s sorry speech addressing similar themes demonstrates how much the Australian attitude changed since the setting of One Night The Moon and how abused the power of the government truly was. Perkins use of camera shots along with Rudd’s factual and emotional words brings both texts to life. Settings can change…

to be too dangerous and unstable to be home to many species, so it is our duty to preserve and ensure the success of our future generations. The excursion to Mars will be re-establishing the drought that space travel has been experiencing since the moon landing in the sixties. Restoring the curiosity and dedication to space will bring newfound curiosity and dedication on Earth, which will bring its own advancements. Colonizing Mars may seem unethical due to its costs and obvious setbacks, but…

Aluminum. Making it the shuttles outer protective layer along with the silica tiles, without Aluminum and the tiles the shuttle would burn as it goes through orbit. Aluminum is used for several other things like: the outer layer of the ISS, the Apollo moon lander was wrapped in aluminum. Aluminum is great for locking in cold air and keeping the hot air out. Making aluminum a necessity to the ISS, as well as steel and other metals. Scientist have stated that aluminum is the 3rd most abundant…

Giant Impact Theory The moons formation isn't clear to this day, although it does have many theories on its formation. The moons biggest theory is the Giant Impact Theory, which states that a mars sized object strikes earth breaking pieces off, and the gravitational force combines the broken pieces of earth into one, which is known as the Earths moon. The Earths and moons mantle are exactly identical, supporting the impact theory ("Origin of the Moon"). The moon doesn't have any identical…

The Dawn Mission created an image of the Solar System completed by learning both distinct bodies with the same tools on the same spacecraft. In order for the Dawn to carry three science instruments data that will be used in combination to characterize the bodies. The data information that returned from the spacecraft could offer chances for information in our knowledge of how the Solar System shaped. The instruments that are involved are a visible camera, a visible and electromagnetic mapping…

In a recent NASA blog post, Kelsi Singer, a researcher at Southwest Research Institute working on NASA’s New Horizons, goes over an interesting discovery made about Pluto: It seems to have a near infinite supply of nitrogen. Pluto is Gassy The most recent images returned by New Horizons shows that Pluto’s surface is mostly composed of nitrogen, just like Earth’s. There is; however, about a 20 percent difference in composition; Earth’s atmosphere is around ~78 percent nitrogen while Pluto’s is…

After watching Cosmos: When Knowledge Conquers Fear, tons of informative information were shown, which included history about two well-known astronomers / scientists. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, introduced us to comets and gravity, the work of Edmund Halley and Isaac Newton. Learning about the Halley comet on its 76-year trip around the Sun, getting a closer look of Isaac Newton and Edmond Halley’s friendship and how they changed the understanding of the world. While watching, I could understand some…

Dorothy made important contributions to the early years of the U.S. space program and was the first African American manager at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. As a group of African American female mathematicians who were considered “human computers” performing complex computations and getting data for aerospace engineers.…

teamwork, prioritizing, communicating and lastly assessing and planning for risk. At first I wasn’t sure that the movie was a “successful failure” but towards the end of the movie it was said that it was such. There was a failure of never reaching the moon, yet it was a success with teamwork both on and off the ship. I would have never thought that it could be possible to have such great teamwork in a failing situation. I felt as if making mid-course corrections went along with the concept of…
