Since the early beginnings of the new socialist government, the Soviet Union was supportive of their scientists and their work. The 1920’s was a time period in which the government gave much support to the development of the rocket. Moscow even hosted the first “interplanetary machines” exhibit which drew crowds from all of the world in 1927. Though some of the appeal was due to being the first, the Soviet Union understood the importance of space exploration and the militaristic potential of…

1. The title of the article I read is “Meet the people behind the film Hidden Figures”. The author is Gerri Miller, and it was published on August 24, 2017. 2. The article “Meet the people behind the file Hidden Figures” by Gerri Miller is about the people who helped the set up the mathematical side of the movie Hidden Figures – a movie about three African-American women who were behind the calculations that launched John Glenn into orbit around the Earth. The article talks about how all the…

Instead, the issue might lie with the vigorousness of the exercise. In 1990, a head down bed rest was conducted that examined the bone loss of its participants compared to the measured loss of those aboard the space station MIR. It was found that the bed-ridden participants experienced a bone loss similar to those astronauts aboard MIR. Furthermore, the astronauts were a part of a moderate exercise routine, where the bed members were not (LeBlanc, et al., 2000). These…

working on new and improved things. Right now NASA is planning a one way ticket to mars. NASA is building a ship powerful enough to take people to Mars, it will have enough supplies for 1,100 days in space. They are sending down overs to build the station and bring supplies. They will not come back on this mission but hopefully next time they will. Scientific discoveries have influenced society by even some of the earliest times. For example, did you know the Mayan calendar was one of the first…

rover (JPL, 2001). The mission was planned to last for only 7 days but the rover stayed on Mars, collecting data, from its landing on July 4, 1997 to September 27, 1997 which ended up being a total of 83 days. The lander itself (Carl Sagan Memorial Station) collected data via the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) and Atmospheric Structure Instrument/Meteorology Package (ASI/MET) (Nelson). The Sojourner rover was equipped with an Alpha/Proton/X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) and rover imaging cameras…

create an epic story of space, time, and technological progress. Kubrick sets the film in three different places: the African desert, inside a space station in orbit, and in space itself. When Dr. Heywood Floyd reaches the outpost station on the moon, Kubrick uses a wide angle lens to exploit the distortion of the lines. Such distortions make the station appear claustrophobic and serves as a reminder that the characters and we, as viewers, are in space. In the scene where Bowman appears to be…

The Radiolab podcast does a perfect job of creating an entertaining source of media by using key elements such as the use of diction and language, professional guests, and the use of audio clips and sound. Throughout the podcast, there is a perfect balance between information and new ideas, facts and opinions, as well as personal and general experiences in the history of space.

According to many different articles filled with facts and opinions, Pluto should be a planet. Scientists have been debating for years whether Pluto should considered a planet and part of our solar system. Pluto should still be a planet regardless of its size, and there are plenty more information to understand why it should be a planet, especially in our solar system. First of all, according to, Discovery Education, “For 80 years, schoolchildren have been taught that the Solar System has nine…

The government should continue to fund NASA because according to the History of Space Exploration Project we did, it shows that we weren’t able to see what Earth really looked like until Explorer 6 was launched. This is important because for the longest time, people thought the earth was flat. Then, after that we said it was a sphere. But, we never really knew what Earth looked like until launching a satellite capable of sending pictures of Earth from space. These pictures showed if Earth was…

My Timeline focuses on inventions spanning from 1900 to 1910, this decade saw a lot of new concepts that no one ever touched before. It also covers everyday things we use, such as the thumbtack or windshield wipers, and even things we take for granted such as the electric washing machine. We have definitely come a long way since 1910, it was over 100 years ago. Things have changed dramatically since then, we’ve landed on the moon, we have iPhones, and the internet is everywhere. But some things…
