Personally I believe that we should have Space Exploration because we can learn, help, and provide information so that our community can have a better understanding on it. Many people have traveled into space and from just one trip we learn so much. Imagine if we continued these amazing trips we would know so much more. Most of us should know about president Kennedy’s amazing speech on space exploration. Many were moved by it and we continue to do it up to this day. To us this is an important…

it would be a great idea to have medical imaging for the space travelers. Ultrasound was chosen because it encompasses a broad base of pathologies. In 2001, NASA integrated an ultrasound into the Health Research Facility on the International Space Station with the hopes of providing astronauts with diagnostic imaging. Most sonographers go through intensive training to become diagnosticians. But for astronauts, it is a little different. The Multilateral Medical Operations Panel came up with a…

Metacognitive Journal Explanatory Synthesis Arthur C. Clarke proposes an innovative way to travel into outer space, by elevator. A unique method one foretold in his late 1970’s Sci fi novels. What started as an idea, captured the attention of NASA and U.S. Air force. The idea has many pros due to the design itself, time efficient space travel, enhanced satellite communications, and new space based industries. Opening a whole new world for people on earth, but like on earth, as well as in space…

When asked why he felt the need to reach the summit of Mount Everest, George Mallory said “Because it was there.” Humans have desired to explore the unknown and with space exploration they can finally have it. Humans will also see that it produces wealth to the United States economy. Lastly they will see that we cannot send robots to do it for us. Space exploration is worth the cost because it expands our knowledge and helps us see more of the unknown. I say that because studying health…

The idea of the space elevator dates back to 1895, when Konstanin Tsiolkovsky a Russian phycicist, proposed the idea. The idea was then rediscovered several times by numerous engineers such as, Yuri Artsutanov, Jerome Pearson, Arthur Clarke, and Charles Sheffield. In this paper, we will discuss how the elevator works, the advantages and disadvantages, and the obstacles during the process of forming the elevator. The space elevator is a tower that you can ride into outer space. NASA created…

The Gemini Program was an early NASA human spaceflight program that helped NASA get ready for the Apollo moon landings. Because of the Geminis purpose it has been nicknamed “The Bridge to the Moon.” Ten crews flew missions on the two-man Gemini spacecraft. The Gemini missions were flown in 1965 and 1966. They flew between the Mercury and Apollo programs. All together there are 12 Gemini missions between April of 1965 and November of 1966. The Gemini program was managed by the Manned Spacecraft…

seveneves by Neal Stephenson is an amazing book to read about the end of the world. While this topic is in no way unique to Stephenson, he nonetheless wrote this book expertly. His amazing use of science and ingenuity really brings this book to perfection. His insights into the human psyche is impressive. The book begins right before the Agent -- an unknown force of awesome power -- destroys the moon. For the first week, everyone just stares at seven large pieces of what used to be the moon,…

MARS EXPLORATOIN ROVER Throughout the history of the human race, space exploration has always been a point of contention, whether it is the religious perspective or the allocation of funds but one thing that was always consistent was the appeal to broaden and expand our knowledge of the solar system and of space in general. NASA has been the frontrunner and forefront of the space exploration game globally and has always had their goals set on being the first to achieve many milestones. The Mars…

My best friend and I sat myself down, still soaking wet, into the nearest open seats. The camera panned to a stunning 3D shot of the International Space Station (ISS), and I knew that it was well worth the long wait. In second grade, my class went on a trip to the Liberty Science Center. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst possible days to attend, and we arrived to see long lines of students in the front of the building. After only a few minutes of waiting outside, it began to rain. Since we…

Henry Womack Crocker English 3AP 15 November 2015 A Penny for Exceptionalism I have grown up listening to stories about the uncontainable excitement that my parents felt when the T.V. cart got wheeled into their classrooms to watch the fuzzy images of the Apollo missions come through. I have grown up hearing about the immense pride that one felt on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. You were never more proud to be an American than in that moment, and we were…
