The Contemporary Importance of NASA Funding This year, 2016, is the 57th anniversary of NASA, or, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. In those 57 years, NASA has accomplished a lot; landing humans on the moon, sending robots to mars, amongst many other feats. Whilst these things once seemed impossible, more and more so they're becoming standard things to NASA. Despite this, many people nowadays feel that government money spent on NASA is a waste of funding, and they don't fully…

though that space exploration is not worth it because of the human lives that it takes to do it if something does not work . Using the technology in space is for us to create better rocketships to get the rocketships up in space and to succeed.…

With Elon Musk’s vision for the future and SpaceX set to achieve great heights in space, anything is possible. But does that include sending out a rocket every two to three weeks? SpaceX wants to launch a rocket every two to three weeks despite last year’s launch pad explosion. With high confidence, SpaceX is looking at a tight operational schedule and aims to pick up the pace of its Falcon 9 launches. With a two to three week schedule, SpaceX would need to rely on a new launch pad at NASA’s…

West Ms.Miller June, 2016  On July 20, 1989 ( the 20th anniversary of the first human landing on the Moon) President George Bush made an announcement claiming his intention of supporting a program of manned exploration of the solar system and the permanent settlement of space, known as the Space Exploration Initiative ( SEI). One of its major goals was to build a space station as a stepping stone for humans to return to the Moon and someday send them to Mars. (U.S.Cong., 2005) Back then and…

crossroad technologically. The space exploration program is in dire need of a heavy space launch vehicle that will propel the robots and humans for generations to come. Additionally, advancements in technology with human like robots like the R5 "Valkryie" are important for the exploration program. These robots will help the human race explore places and do things the human body can not do. They will also help lower cost overall since the…

Humanity needs to travel the stars for survival purposes because the Earth is more fragile than it appears. Additionally, human aggression could easily destroy the planet faster than the Sun 's rising temperatures could. Consequently it is theorised that the sun will eventually cause the extinction of all sentient life on earth the reasoning behind this is that the sun is getting…

Have you ever wondered if there was debris in space just like there is on earth? The answer is yes, debris in space causes many problems just like it does on earth. Even though debris on earth causes many problems, sometimes if you think about what space debris causes it can be worse. Are you thinking about why and how there is debris in space? First, astronauts sometimes will drop something out into space. In the text,”Space Junk” it says,”On March 11, 2001, astronaut James Voss had dropped…

Mr. Stansbery, With the development of science and technology, people put more attention on the exploration of space and the unknown. But they do not realize that with the passage of time, there are lots of junks that were left in the space from human activities. Protection of the space environment becomes more and more important, because no one knows what kind of changes will appear or if it will impact out planet. Introduction Space junk is an assortment of waste and debris that…

poses a more difficult task than anything we’ve ever done before. However, because new technology is being developed every day to help humans get to Mars, a manned mission to Mars should be realistic by the 2030’s. Just getting to…
