Human spaceflight

condition. As we all know, the human body is fragile and is not designed to endure the hostile space environment. In the future, more space missions will be put on the agenda, and thus astronauts will spend more time in space. Understanding the effects of long-term space travel will be more than beneficial to help scientists design and modify countermeasures to conquer space hazards for astronauts. This research paper illustrates the negative effects of long-term spaceflight.…

Analyzing the Benefits and Drawbacks of the NASA Program On July 16, 1969, NASA launched a spaceflight to the moon called Apollo 11. A couple days later Neil Armstrong would be the first man to step on the moon. It was a big milestone for man’s journey of exploring space as millions watched on the television. But as millions watched on the television, the rise of a new question became to spring up. People began discussing if the NASA program was worth it. They began to talk about the…

space program simultaneously builds the opposing argument for its continuation past 1969 as well. As culturally beneficial as it eventually resulted to be, it can be widely agreed that the initialization of the race to the moon was not sparked by human curiosity itself. The primary motivator for initial American exploration into space was a silver beach-ball sized hunk of metal called Sputnik. Normally a Russian ball made of metal wouldn’t unnerve anyone-…

Commercialized Space Exploration: The Dawn of a New Era July 21, 2011, the Space Shuttle Atlantis entered Earth’s atmosphere, beginning its final approach preparations from its last and final mission of the space shuttle program, STS135. 30 years of service shuttling supplies to the ISS, conducting scientific missions and experiments, servicing equipment amongst a myriad of other tasks (most of which installed awe and dreams of possibilities in the programs participants and millions around…

investigate space were able to do more research about the moon. This research was enough to send humans to the moon. Now, people from NASA have accurate information, and people in NASA are looking for other life forms from the moon. The moon can be the key for humans to see whether there is other life forms that humans do not know. Companies are changing the economics of space for future plans of spaceflight, space tourism, and missions to Mars. A new huge space observatory is about to be…

Imagine life on earth versus life in space. I can remember myself dreaming of the day that I would be in a space shuttle, awaiting take off hoping to leave all my worries behind. Just as Tom in the “Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams, I too was looking for a way to escape my life. I have always been fascinated by space and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. As a child, I kept a collection of aliens, stars, and spaceships. Through these figurines, I was able to act out my dreams and…

fifty-eight years now! NASA is a United States government agency that is responsible for air and space travel. It has accomplished several different things pertaining to air and space travel. The biggest accomplishes are: human space flight, first human landing on the Moon, they also have humans living on the ISS (International Space Station), They have sent space probes to every single one of the planets in our solar system in order to study them closer, used telescopes to look deep into space,…

needed to know solely based on the things we could find on earth, but it’s time for us to move on. We can learn so much more about the way the universe works if we broaden our field of study. It is unfair to deny scientific advances to the entire human race, based on the fears of the American…

Introduction The space hotel is named Caelum, which is the Latin term for space, universe, and heaven. This name represents the future of luxurious travel, taking humans into outer space on an amazing vacation. Not only is this an amazing chance to travel into space and live there for a week or two, but it is also a once in a life time opportunity. Caelum lets the people who have already traveled to all seven continents get the full experience, and travel to a place “out of this world”. This…

construct other kinds of shelter. Only five years ago man learned to write and use a cart with wheels. Christianity began less than two years ago. The printing press came this year, and then less than two months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the steam engine provided a new source of power. Newton explored the meaning of gravity. Last month electric lights and telephones and automobiles and airplanes became available. Only last week did we develop penicillin and…
