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…

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…
