The Space Race was a “competition” between the US and Soviets in space exploration and technology that lasted from 1957-1975. This race to space occurred during the midst of the Cold War and served as a way for the superior country to flex their muscles by reaching space faster and developing more advanced technologies. Space technologies could easily have military applications such as satellites and monitoring, and it was important for these countries to gain backing and pride in order to help…

As I looked out of the bus window, half awake from sleeping on the bus ride, I saw a large blue structure with flashing lights at the top jutting into the partly cloudy spring sky. To the right of it was another one, similar looking, but was yellow and red and was somehow even taller than the blue one. I then nervously looked down the aisle out the windshield at the three lane road, each lined with cars and other buses, that was headed toward the island-like peninsula. As we lurched slowly down…

Cernan (1934-2017). The website states that Gene was a former NASA astronaut who remains the last human being to date to set foot on the surface of the moon. The website goes on to talk about how Gene first went to space as a crew member aboard the Gemini 9A. On this mission particular mission, he became the second American, and third person ever, to exit his spacecraft while in orbit-what is most commonly known as a spacewalk. It was a risky endeavor: NASA was still working out how to outfit…

Tornadoes: Past, Present, and Future Severe weather has always been an interest for many people whether they have experienced it or seen it on media like shows and movies. Dr. Victor Gensini Associate professor of meteorology gave a lecture on Tornadoes of the past, present and future. For much of science we look into the past to give us useful information that may help people. For example, by studying past tornadoes we are now able to better locate and warn people when a tornado is near.…

What We Need is Another Space Race Between the years of 1968 and 1972, there were nine Apollo missions to the Moon, and twelve men set foot on its surface. Humans haven’t been back to Earth’s only natural satellite in 44 years. Think of the advances in technology that have happened between then and now. NASA doesn’t even have their own spacecraft these days, if they send someone to the International Space Station, the astronauts have to hitch a ride on a Russian craft. The Saturn V rocket…

Armstrong became an astronaut in 1962. He was in the second group of astronauts ever chosen. He was the commander of Gemini 8 in 1966. He flew on that mission with David Scott. They were the first astronauts to dock, or connect, two vehicles in…

I remember growing up, I would always go outside and play with this little girl name Leah even though she was 2 years younger than me. Growing up people would tell us we might as well be sisters because we, spent every min of the day with each other, running around getting into trouble. When I was 9 she moved to a different house with her daddy. In 2011, Leah and I lost contact fully due to everybody moving to a different city or different part of town. In the middle of Feb her mother, sister…

Clarence’s birthday had just passed, he had just turned sixteen and of course as a gemini he couldn’t be more excited and talkative about the subject. It was a usual hot day in Acton, there’s not too much around but, him and me are best friends so we still make this small town fun for us. Both of his parents were always out at work so he was a mature kid for long as I met him, it was just him and that big house. When his parents were home though it didn’t get any better, I saw how it would…

Chikindas where I was responsible for screening naturally derived molecules for quorum sensing inhibition of AI-2 in Gram positive bacteria using Staphylococcus aureus as a reference organism. This culminated in my contributions to the paper entitled “Gemini Cationic Amphiphiles Control Biofilm Formation by Bacterial Vaginosis Pathogens” in the Journal of Antimicrobial Agents and…
