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…

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…
