Filling station

something that has always fascinated humanity, from astronomers in ancient Greece to trillion dollar corporations today. Humanity has made incredible advancements in the space program since its conception. From putting men on the moon to having a space station the size of a football field which regularly houses astronauts from all around the world. Now there is talk of in the future having people living on Mars. Space exploration has been rapidly growing ever since it was started in 1957 when…

Should the government be funding space exploration? What has come out of the United States space program and was it worth the investment? Does space exploration have to be government run, or are there alternative ways to explore the universe? It is questions like these that must be answered when determining the future of space exploration. Despite the dream of space exploration being a peaceful one, the U.S. space program only came about as a result of the cold war. The program improved the…

Dear Mr. Stansbery, With the development of science and technology, people put more attention on the exploration of space and the unknown. But they do not realize that with the passage of time, there are lots of junks that were left in the space from human activities. Protection of the space environment becomes more and more important, because no one knows what kind of changes will appear or if it will impact out planet.

With the emergence of a new space race in recent years, the topic of space exploration has come under fierce scrutiny. Combustible claims are being thrown into the forges of debate from both the opposing side and those that fervently follow the exploits of the various space agencies. While both sides of this debate have various logical points, they both tend to follow the same well-traveled track. The opposing side of this argument tends to charge forth asking, why should we spend money on such…

NASA and the space program collectively represent American strength and scientific achievement. A little over half a century ago, we as Americans decided to venture into space for ourselves. NASA, however, didn’t always paint a picturesque image inclusion. For years, their “qualifications” were designed to bar women from joining the program as astronauts. However, this did not stop women, they continued to work behind the scenes and fought for the chance to be included at the forefront of these…

Ever since the beginning of the space race the United States has been one of the premier space agencies in the world.

One of their biggest feats was putting a man on the moon. This virtually won us the space race and put us at the forefront of space technology and research. Many thing have changed since Neil Armstrong first stepped…

Barnett’s and probably differs from everyone’s. Many would say that is it out of this world, literally. My ideal classroom with be based off of a space station. First off I would want my doors to be circular cut doors where everyone would have to crawl into the classroom. I would also like circular windows, allowing a lot of natural light. Next seating, for desks I want two big tables across from each other…

In Packing for Mars, Mary Roach communicates that the most interesting part of space travel is humanity and the complicated obstacles that come with it. Roach’s purpose is to argue that although they present difficult challenges, much can be learned about humanity through space travel. To support this argument, the author compares humanity to machinery and the opinions of scientists to her own, provides anecdotes concerning the humanity of astronauts, and describes the struggles and morality of…

In chapters 18-22 of Rebecca Skloot’s The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, the author informs us of what Henrietta’s HeLa cells have done and some history of her family. In chapter 18, HeLa cells have gone to space in the Discoverer XVIII satellite to help determine what happens to human cells in space. Scientist were also creating hybrids with the HeLa cells to help further their understanding of gene regulation. The media didn’t understand what was being accomplished by doing this and…
