Bioships are life forms of movement. In Space, the very survival of Bioships depends on their being able to move. Movement is also the mode through which Bioships learn the quickest. If a Captain wants a happy, obedient Bioship, then she should let him move as much as possible. Staying in one place for too long is hazardous to both the Captain’s health and to the Bioship’s well-being too. Inexperienced Captains tend to be scared of the Bioship's quick movements. This is not an unreasonable…

We have gone to the moon numerous of times since Neil Armstrong walked on the Earth's natural satellite almost 50 years ago on July 20, 1969, with the assistance of aerospace engineers (Dunbar). Now it is time to “boldly go where no man has gone before.” Aerospace engineering has enabled men and women to complete the imaginable. This career consists of two overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Aeronautical engineers work with the principles of physics of…

Timeless “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars,” says Norman Vincent Peale. Madeleine L’Engle’s inspiring story, A Wrinkle in Time is a science fiction novel about three kids who journey through time, space, and even dark matter to uncover someone they love who mysteriously disappeared one night years ago. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle, is a must read and should be in the Little Free Library because it teaches good lessons and morals to readers, is…

Waste Management, Technology, and Transportation: If we are going to be living on Mars, we are going to have to overcome many obstacles. One of the biggest obstacles we have to face is waste management. My plan is to use the waste/garbage and recreate it into electricity. We would have to burn the waste that we have, to produce steam in a boiler that is used to generate electricity. This would provide enough electricity for the population that is coming to Mars. Not only can we produce…

Provide national security. It is imperative to our national interest that the United States remain the leader in developing new space technologies in order to insure the peaceful exploration of space by all. The International Space Station (ISS) has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken. Through the use of satellites we are able to improve our national security. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) reports that a frequently…

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…

Space is a Gift Look in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No it’s one of NASA’s rockets! What do you think they’re doing? They’re exploring space of course! Why would they do that? Every day, you’ll hear people say, “space is a waste,” but I don’t think that's true. Don’t believe me? Believe the facts. According to the text “Space: Let’s Go!” by Rick Washington, “NASA created Velcro which is now used in many clothing items, bags and so forth.” There are many more things to be discovered…

The journey began at Aberdeen railway station at seven fifty two A.M. on a grim, murky, and wet Saturday. I boarded the train for York, a pungent odour of fried food engulfed my senses. It made me feel nauseous, great start ! I wished I was back home with all it's familiarity and the delicious smell of my mum’s highly scented candles. Eventually later that day I arrived in Grimsby, I thought the day could not get any worse; I was confronted by the same bleak and grey weather i had left behind in…

Scientists may have created the first wormhole in a laboratory. This could have big implications on the space-time continuum. Will this lead to quantum leaps, or possible time travel? Or will NASA and SpaceX swoop in and use the wormhole to meet aliens in an unknown universe? All of the above sounds like a bunch of sci-fi lunacy. However, NASA and SpaceX are accomplishing big things lately. So using a laboratory-developed wormhole to make contact with aliens may not be so odd. At least in the…

NASA has recently found 7 new earth sized planets on February 22, 2017. They were orbiting what looks like a star similar to the Sun only 40 light-years away from the solar system. NASA believes that the planets could sustain liquids, the only downside is the amount of time it would take to travel to the Trappist-1. It would take 700,000 years just to travel to the Trappist-1. NASA believes that the 7 planets could sustain liquids just based off of the densities of the planets. The reason why…
