Mars, and a human crew has at last been sent to the red planet to finish preparations for the settlement. Logistics such as rocket propulsion, humans in space, and robot-human missions will be included, as well as details concerning setting up a colony on Mars. Robot in Space: The Pathfinder Mission: Robotic missions have always been essential to space travel. Robots have fewer needs than humans, and handle radiation and reduced gravity well. They also act as scouts, returning valuable…

the colonisation of Mars may lead to finding more sources of fuel or new elements that may have long-term uses in building material. Though, if that is deemed unfeasible then an alternative could be the use of the already developed technology for space travel, with minor adjustment, to mine asteroids for more resources, which will be less fuel intensive (). Furthermore, as demand and necessity add a sense of urgency for the development of new technology, that can assist the colony on Mars, new…

Literacy Initiative Assignment Space travel is currently and will continue to be the pinnacle of man’s scientific and technological achievement. Born out of countless hours of chalkboard math and innumerable successes and failures, space flight is truly amazing. So far, the high point of our space travel is the International Space Station, or the ISS. This space station is continually maintained through the hardworking men and women of NASA and Roscosmos, from The United States and Russia,…

The space race between the United States and the Soviet Union was very beneficial to both sides. Both countries also benefited from new technologies that came out of their space research. It is, however arguable that the space program in the United States benefited more than the Soviet Union. The benefits the United States derived from its space research was not only new technologies but a sense national pride. With the America’s space program using more than $100 billion (in 1994 terms) it…

The Space Race occurred after the Cold War, which brought up past rivalries between the Soviet Union and the United States. The improvements made during the race were not for science, but to show superiority between the United States and the Soviet Union. They tried to up-one another; this grows tensions between them just as the Cold War did. “On October 4, 1957, a Soviet R-7 intercontinental ballistic missile launched Sputnik” (History). This was the beginning of it all. The United States and…

Elon Musk has dreamt of going to Mars for a long time, and one of the key elements in his operation is an extremely fast transportation system in our world. (Chambra, 2017). Before even beginning the construction of the Hyperloop, Elon has already dreamed incorporating the technology for the mars exploration. Elon Musk stated, “The Hyperloop would incorporate a series of pods travelling in an atmosphere close to an absolute vacuum.” (Chambra, 2017). Musk also plans to create a massive rocket…

In 2009, the Johnson Space Center generated about $2.96 billion in business volume, and the Kennedy Space Center accounted for $4.1 billion of Florida's financial activity. Studies have estimated that for every $1 dollar that NASA spends on Earth, there is about $7 to $14 return on investment (Lyons.) Not only is there great benefit to NASA’s spending, but all of the money they spend stays here on Earth, because there aren’t any places to spend it in space, leaving more of a chance that…

Tom Wolfes book “The Right Stuff is about the earlier years of the United States space program during the Cold war. He speaks of brave and dedicated men throwing their lives to progressing aerial technology and were still be able to do it over and over again without surrender. To Wolfe to have “The Right Stuff” was to be relentless, unwavering, and somewhat fearless no matter how dire the situation was. In the book Wolfe first discovers the “right stuff” among the close group of military fighter…

“Teamwork coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress. working together is success,” (Henry Ford). The United States has been given the task of creating a lunar colony. With this mission we need to be thoughtful and specific when we pick the people to go on this mission. As the late Ford said we need the right type of people to work together to make the lunar colony a success. To begin the selection process we need to look at different types of citizens and what they can bring…

National Aeronautics and Space Administration budget because the trip was so expensive. Scientists talked about their plans to further missions to the moon and eventually Mars. The reason for human exploration of the solar system was because of the Apollo missions. President John F. Kennedy once said, “land a man on the Moon by 1970 and return him safely to Earth”(Mendell, pg 24). Apollo indeed accomplished this goal, because of the desire for human exploration in space. Wendell Mendell was…
