brewing throughout the decade, but America found comfort in their superior mentality. That is, until the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, into space. Weighing less than 200 pounds, this satellite sparked a new element of the Cold War gain international attention: the Space Race (History). The Space Race is the nickname for the…

Cold War Propaganda Happening concurrently with the Space Race between the Soviet Union and the United States was the Cold War. As relations were deteriorating with each new conflict, both governments started creating and distributing propaganda in order to maintain public support and a unified home front. Propaganda materials, such as posters and art, were abundant in both the US and the USSR. In the Soviet Union, there are various posters that utilized many socialist symbols as well as the…

cost of human life during the Space Race between the United States and Russia was the most important in getting a man to the moon. In 1967, a fire exploded in the cabin, killing Lieut. Colonel Virgil Grissom, Lieut. Colonel Edward White, and Lieut. Commander Roger Chaffee, it raised a new question. Is the conquest of space really worth the cost? Even though the vehicle was built to reach the moon 239,000 miles away, it exploded 218 ft. above the launch pad at Cape Kennedy. This was a setback in…

The oceans are explored by people,robots and machines you can either dive in yourself and go for it but you won't get very far doing it that way. Deep sea exploration is a difficult process even with today’s technology I predict that even in the next 10 years we won't learn very much about the oceans deep and dark secrets of the great depths it will be quite a long time until we even discover 90 percent of the ocean and then there will be so much about it that we still don't understand…

Would if technology never came about in the world? We had people coming up with their own ideas to make products we use every day in our lives. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Just as Robert Goddard and Neil Armstrong show, there is a first for everything, and we need leaders to show us the way through the impossible. Robert Goddard was an engineer who came up with the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket.…

Americans could be defined by the area that they are located in, specifically, the region of the United States of America. The USA is found on the continent of North America, between Mexico and Canada. This area makes anyone inside an American by space standards. Many foreign exchange students come to America to understand our culture better, and while they are here, they get to experience all that America has to offer just as a person actually living here. For that time, they are an honorary…

American History of the Harmonica Flying through the Earth’s atmosphere into outer space, astronaut Wally Schirra, played jingle bells on his smuggled harmonica while in orbit. Even outer space is not safe from this pocket sized instrument. The harmonica has spread to almost every corner on Earth, and sold more units than any other instrument. The harmonica is considered an American icon, but the origins of the harmonica is rooted in another country, Germany. Although the actual creator of the…

Humans are very curious. So it was completely natural for Ray Bradbury’s book, The Martian Chronicles, tries to show us the unforeseen consequences of such curiosity, only with exploring Mars. With almost the entire Martian race being wiped out by people, it’s no surprise that humans also almost wipe themselves out with atomic warfare. The consequences of the war and wiping out of almost the entirety of all races are huge and serious. I think the main message of the book is that humans have no…

given color space [1]. In another words gamut literally means the total range of possibilities that can be accomplished from red, green and blue (RGB) for a particular device [2]. If certain color cannot be reproduced accurately there is a way how to calculate the color difference by adequately describing the color by numerical values. Delta E (∆E) is the mathematical difference between two samples and is computed as distance in CIELAB space between two colors. The CIELAB color space is used as…
