The journey began at Aberdeen railway station at seven fifty two A.M. on a grim, murky, and wet Saturday. I boarded the train for York, a pungent odour of fried food engulfed my senses. It made me feel nauseous, great start ! I wished I was back home with all it's familiarity and the delicious smell of my mum’s highly scented candles. Eventually later that day I arrived in Grimsby, I thought the day could not get any worse; I was confronted by the same bleak and grey weather i had left behind in…

Scientists may have created the first wormhole in a laboratory. This could have big implications on the space-time continuum. Will this lead to quantum leaps, or possible time travel? Or will NASA and SpaceX swoop in and use the wormhole to meet aliens in an unknown universe? All of the above sounds like a bunch of sci-fi lunacy. However, NASA and SpaceX are accomplishing big things lately. So using a laboratory-developed wormhole to make contact with aliens may not be so odd. At least in the…

NASA has recently found 7 new earth sized planets on February 22, 2017. They were orbiting what looks like a star similar to the Sun only 40 light-years away from the solar system. NASA believes that the planets could sustain liquids, the only downside is the amount of time it would take to travel to the Trappist-1. It would take 700,000 years just to travel to the Trappist-1. NASA believes that the 7 planets could sustain liquids just based off of the densities of the planets. The reason why…

There are many different purposes for robots. They can be made to help people remember to do basic tasks such as taking their medicine and remembering to brush their teeth to roaming mars to check for habitability. Robots can help astronauts do the dangerous tasks that they should not do. The purpose of the curiosity rover is to determine if mars is suitable for humans to live on and learn about the mars environment. The curiosity rover is the size of a small SUV and has a “host of scientific…

Surprisingly, before the 1960s, women didn’t have equal rights. It may seem like a long time ago, but it’s only been 50 years since sexism and racism were outlawed in the workplace. The ‘60s were also a time of great technological advancement, creating a multitude of new jobs. The ‘60s were undoubtedly an instrumental time period in American history, paving the way for modern careers and workplace customs. Multiple historical and important events took place in the ‘60s. One major thing was…

Mars Exploration For centuries mankind has been fascinated by the night sky. Countless numbers of scientists have dedicated their lives to learning and exploring our solar system. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has consistently lead the USA and the world in space experimentation and planned missions. One area they have actively pursued is the study of Mars. NASA has researched planet Mars for over decades and recently released a detailed plan containing their strategy for a…

2.0 Introduction In today’s modern world of technology, there are many new streaming services available from metropolitan networks allowing people from all over Australia to stream from their phones, laptops, tablets, and even smart televisions. As wonderful as this may be for residence who live in regional areas of Australia, it is becoming harder for the regional networks to keep up with the metropolitan networks. Earlier this year in February, the ABC quoted “Media companies have generally…

INTRODUCTION The United States (U.S.) space program began in a period of history when numerous nations were at war with each other. During this period, one of the biggest enemies of the U.S. was Germany. The Germans seemed to have rocketry just about mastered. Their V-1 and V-2 rockets, designed by Werner von Braun, rained terror across Europe. The U.S. was well aware of this and took actions to seize the German rocket technology. In late 1945 as WWII was winding down, the U.S.…

Edward M. Goolish is an astrobiologist and the Deputy Director of the NASA Astrobiology Institute, which is a position that he has held for many years ever since 2006. He has served N.A.I. (NASA Astrobiology Institute) or about six years, and he has been the Assistant director for research from February 1, 2013 to August 11, 2014. In 1994, Goolish came to Ames Research Center to conduct research on how the small forces within space can change aquatic organisms, vertebrates and behaviors. He…

The present project is intended to examine space travel and the effects to the general population, the environment, and the astronauts working and living in space. The following report will provide a background and history of space travel, human and environmental effects of space travel, occupational hazards, a literature review, and a proposed study design to further knowledge in occupational hazards of working and living in space. The information collected, reviewed, and analyzed will provide…
