The X-15 was the brainchild of NASA (recently NACA), US Air Force, US Navy, and North American Aviation Inc. For nearly a decade (June 8, 1959 - October 24, 1968) the X-15 flew 199 times supplying countless reports of data for aerodynamics, high altitude (exit and reentry of atmosphere), hypersonic speeds, and physiological effects on pilot. During this time the X-15 set the altitude record of 354,200 feet and top speed record of Mach 6.7 (4,520 miles per hour). Because of the massive speeds…
Long before the “creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958”, humans had a fascination with flight and space. (Wiki-NASA) From Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine to the space launch system of the future there have been innovators and naysayers. With all innovation and exploration there comes great risk, as the machines became more complex the smaller the margin for error became. After man achieved success in flight on Earth he wanted to venture beyond and push…

1. Difference between Nasa now and Nasa in the early. Gene Cernan stats about Nasa did not do much things but they took more chances. There are always problems, it does not matter for them, how much they plan, how carefully they were. 2. Gemini VII: Astronauts do not do bathing, not changing underwear, not shaving, sleeping without sheets, and not cutting nails and hair during few weeks. They use not well oral hygiene and use very little tissues or wipers. Also they are always inside a…
Neil Armstrong began his career at NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) as well as NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) in Ohio. He first joined NACA in 1955, and was first assigned to be in Cleveland to work with the NACA Lewis Research Center (now NASA Glenn Research Center). When he was driving from Cleveland to southern California, he stopped by northern Wisconsin, where he asked Shearon to marry him and go with him to California. In January 1956, Neil and Janet…
When you hear the question, should the U.S. government continue to build space vehicles? What is the first thing that comes to your mind? Most people would say space shuttles, but the truth of the matter is, there is more to space vehicles than just the space shuttles. In fact there are a total of eight different types of space vehicle classifications. Let’s take a look at the eight different types and why we should continue to develop space vehicles a little closer. For the last 3…
The space race was a competition between the Soviet Union and the United States of America to see who could go to the moon first. The need for space exploration came out of the cold war between the Soviet Union and The United States of America. The cold war started after world war two around the late 1950’s, it was mainly about the capitalist world against the communist world of Russia (The Space Race). The space race brought great technological advances in the world between the Soviet Union…
“tell me a story that portrays my unique karmic and spiritual forces currently.” In short, the cards pulled were: first was The Hanged Man (or The Dying God) of the Water element, second was The Chariot of the Cancer zodiac, third was The Lovers of Gemini, fourth was The Moon of Pisces, and fifth was Adjustment (or Justice) of Libra. As to aid the reader, I have included a picture of the card spread in the back of the essay. The first card that began the reading was The Hanged Man, representing…
However, two of these product – the Saturn microwave stand and the Gemini TV stand – have part 3079 requires machining on a special lathe. This lathe is run by a machinist who is trained for this piece of equipment. Ed Szewczak is the machinist that operates this particular lathe as well as other machines in the shop. Currently Ed is working a regular 40-hour week but due to the workload for producing part 3079, he has frequently been scheduled to work overtime to complete the necessary parts…
Michael Fann Timothy Gleason Modern American History - HIST101 October 13, 2014 The Space Race Beginning in 1958 the United States government deemed it imperative, due to a multitude of reasons, to expand its aeronautical prowess and space presence. The agency that was spawned from these motivations was non-other than NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Agency). Many would argue that this bureau was developed in direct correlation to the Soviet’s launch of the world’s first artificial satellite…
