Where do we go when the Earth fails to sustain us, across the galaxy or right out our back door to our neighbor? Multiple scientists have searched about whether life would be sustainable on Mars. When Nicolaus Copernicus was the first scientist to theorize that Mars was a planet there was much controversy. Although there was much criticism, new discoveries arrived about planets along with, their orbit around the Sun. Mars has an orbit around the Sun which is farther than the Earth. Due to Mars…

Wernher von Braun’s Journey to Space This world had a great awakening when Wernher von Braun came forth into it. He has broughten very many accomplishments to the United States of America. Though he was a secret Nazi, he created the V-2 rocket, started a family in America, and made many creations throughout his life time. He also helped send the first man to the moon with one of his great creations. War does not define who is right, war simply defines who is left. Yet in this case, Wernher…

Astronomy is the study of planets, sun, stars, the entire universe. Since the beginning of time humans have been looking at the space.............then ancient civilization , Babylonians, were the first to start Recording the observation they were making and it's also believe they recorded the first time Halley's Comet passed thru earth in the year 164bc. Fast-forward to the year 1571 to be more exact, Johannes Kepler, was born. This figure was a mathematician, astronomer and astrologer. He is…

What's to know about that lonely planet on the far reaches of our solar system? More than you'd think. It turns out Pluto spits out a fair bit of news on the reg so listen up. Here are five things ignorant Earthlings don't know about the planet. 1. PLUTO IS COLDER THAN WE THINK AND WE DONT KNOW WHY The upper atmospheric temperature of the planet has been found to be much colder than any Earth-based studies have previously found. About 70 degrees Fahrenheit colder actually. That's news to a lot…

A long time ago (3.9 billion years to be exact) in a galaxy far, far away, a deadly black hole ripped a star to pieces. In 2011, evidence of this was finally detected by NASA's Swift satellite. Within days, scientists around the world were able to identify the cause of the outburst. While their description has more to do with tidal disruption, one never knows when evil aliens could be to blame. NASA HOPES TO UNDERSTAND VIOLENT BLACK HOLE NASA doesn't quite understand what caused the X-ray…

Apollo Missions started it really was about a race between American scientists and officials and the Soviet Union. Russia was on the brink of sending people into space. As far as I understand it, American officials didn’t want America to seem weak and helpless in the face of new technology and discovery. So they formulated NASA and the Apollo space program where they were determined to beat the Soviet Union in the race to put the first man on the moon. During my research I studied the sometimes…

has been greatly affected by this budget cut is the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA). For my research paper, I aim to explore the reasons as to why the U.S. government should raise NASA’s budget. It is important to understand that NASA’s budget cuts could have a severe impact the U.S. economy. A superpower like America could lose its status as a leading technological hub. Moreover, without a space program the lives of the inhabitants of this planet are at risk as we face…

Commercial use in the space industry is expanding in the Twenty-First Century and corporations are determined to invest their money in it. This private sector is expanding so, there are parties that criticize the exploration of commercial use. However, there are beneficial results if companies fund toward this industry. Big corporations such as Boeing and SpaceX have partnered up with NASA and their projects providing major outcomes and a flourish within the age of commercial space programs. The…

Autonomous technology has always been an important part of space exploration. Spacecraft can be fully autonomous or can work in collaboration with human operator on earth. All space exploration vehicles needs to be at least partly autonomous because of the distance that separates it from the nearest space station. Far distances mean that communication with the vehicle will always be delayed, therefore the vehicle won’t be able to react to sudden changes. For example, it takes 14 minutes for a…

Earth, where we live. What you happen if we had no sun? What would happen if there was only poisonous gases? Earth as we know it could have turned out a lot different then it is just by these little things we didn’t know was out there, in space. Earth’s atmosphere is thick enough to prevent poisonous rays of radiation from getting to it. The earth’s rotation is gradually slowing down because of the moon. ‘’As a single footstep will not make a on the earth, so a single thought will not make a…
