International Space Station

With the emergence of a new space race in recent years, the topic of space exploration has come under fierce scrutiny. Combustible claims are being thrown into the forges of debate from both the opposing side and those that fervently follow the exploits of the various space agencies. While both sides of this debate have various logical points, they both tend to follow the same well-traveled track. The opposing side of this argument tends to charge forth asking, why should we spend money on such…

to the ongoing international affairs, they have had a strong will to be the absolute best at everything. Space exploration is one of the many possible routes that can be taken to reach that desire. Substantial funding for NASA would allow them to create space missions where they can explore the secrets of the universe. The United States would be the first country to “peel back the curtains”, analogous to when Europeans traveled westward and headed towards North America. Space exploration is…

Modern Societies Doom without Space Exploration The world without NASA, also known as National Aeronautics and Space Administration, innovation would be a bleak world indeed. Think of all the modern technologies that you use every day without thinking twice about it. Now, imagine them gone! What would our modern society look like? Technologies like power tools, cell phones, modern computer processors, and microwaves are just some of the many contributions that NASA brought to us. Still, there…

In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed an act that created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in response to the Soviet Unions launch of it’s first satellite, Sputnik I. From that day year forward, NASA began working on missions and took man where they have never been before. In the recent years, they have also began missions that will be able to get humans to other planets. They will continue to work on these missions and get man to where they have never been…

is less of sci-fi and more of space thriller. I chose to watch this film because I have always been a fan of thriller films and this film is different and one of its kind. Especially watching the film in 3-D is worth. Most 3-D films are more like a gimmick but this is film achieves real depth and spatial awareness for the viewer. Perhaps, the film makes you breathless with excitement. To me, the film was more than a documentary depicting two astronauts floating in space. The movie is the most…

to examine space travel and the effects to the general population, the environment, and the astronauts working and living in space. The following report will provide a background and history of space travel, human and environmental effects of space travel, occupational hazards, a literature review, and a proposed study design to further knowledge in occupational hazards of working and living in space. The information collected, reviewed, and analyzed will provide more insight into space travel…

we humans. Sure those are good ideas but some people don’t believe it would end well. Think about all of the risks humans have to deal with just to find out ways to survive and make a living on Mars. Earth might not end in a long time depending on space but do we really have to do these ridiculous actions? There are volunteers that are willing to leave Earth but they would never be able to set foot back on their home plant. It is dangerous, Mars has things that we do not know about and will not…

Space is a different dimension that can be deadly or breath-taking. People are curious to understand the space and what lies beyond the universal. This can be accomplished by sending astronauts to space to explore the changes in Earth and operate advanced technology such as Satellites and space stations. Nevertheless, most astronauts are not ready to withstand primitive conditions such as prolonged absences and stress environment. Even though they train themselves to be prepare, they are not…

first object/satellite into earth, they probably were not anticipating how cluttered and dangerous it would become about sixty years later. Space debris has been a very popular subject over the last couple of decades. To be more specific, orbital debris is what this paper will mostly look at because that is mostly man-made objects that we have propelled into space and left there for years. These objects such as retired satellites and rockets orbit around in the low earth orbit. Since no country…

Shuttle and Station Sushil Shrestha Early study of Space Shuttle began before Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 when President Nixon formed the space task group. The group evaluated the feasible study of reusable space vehicle. During the earlier period, there was a debate on optimal design of vehicle that balanced the capability, development and operational cost. Once the problem was solved, President Nixon formally announced the development of space shuttle in 1972. The inception of space shuttle…
