The National Aeronautics and Space Association (NASA) is a fundamental part of America. From the space race to technology that saves lives, NASA has heavily impacted United States (U.S.) history. Therefore, making cuts to its already small percentage of the budget is ludicrous. NASA is worth much more than space exploration. Those that argue “The United States need to focus on Earth” clearly haven’t done their research. NASA uses their discoveries from space to support Earthly needs. The funding…

tests. One test, known as NIH.R4, looked at hypertension, or high blood pressure. This test discovered that blood vessels do not contract well in space. It also helped us see the role of calcium in Hypertension because more calcium comes off the bones while in space (Feldman). The Soviet Union was the United States’ direct competitor throughout the space race. NASA claims that the Soviets were “Basing their experiments on American biomedical research” (Gray). The Soviets had more early success…

the first person in space giving the red a huge victory against the United States. But Alan Shepard actually could have beaten the soviet had they decided not to test the launch missile more. Just like how the United States could have launched a missile before the Soviet Union whose October 1957 launch shocked America and set the race in motion. But the two losses didn’t stop America who put the first man on the moon in1969. Shortly after Gagarins success, President Kennedy asked his top…

provide the means to transform future human space exploration and operations into large scale activities. They will first provide a rich source of minerals and material for initial economic expansion and concurrently providing platforms for operations and manufacturing. Eventually, the human race could use asteroids as space vehicles to move itself across and possibly beyond the solar system effectively becoming mobile bases of operations and even space colonies. The only significant limitations…

Asteroid Studies could either help us or just be a waste of time. I believe that Nasa (National, Aeronautics, Space Administration.) should not fund asteroid studies for many reasons.One reason is because of time to get there.Another reason is because of money that Nasa spends.My last reason is the danger of astroids.Do you want to know why I believe this? Time is one important thing that not everyone has.It takes a long time to get to the asteroid belt in space.I believe that studying…

Why We Shouldn’t Go to Mars Why would you want to go to mars when you know nothing about the planet. You might know its the so called “Red Planet” but do you know anything else. Did you know there's --extreme weather on Mars that include insane dust storms, -81 degree temperature, and last but not least your pocketbook. On Mars there are severe conditions that could change your life forever.On mars you can’t you could die from its deadly radiation that could kill you instantly.Also on mars…

Where do we go when the Earth fails to sustain us, across the galaxy or right out our back door to our neighbor? Multiple scientists have searched about whether life would be sustainable on Mars. When Nicolaus Copernicus was the first scientist to theorize that Mars was a planet there was much controversy. Although there was much criticism, new discoveries arrived about planets along with, their orbit around the Sun. Mars has an orbit around the Sun which is farther than the Earth. Due to Mars…

Wernher von Braun’s Journey to Space This world had a great awakening when Wernher von Braun came forth into it. He has broughten very many accomplishments to the United States of America. Though he was a secret Nazi, he created the V-2 rocket, started a family in America, and made many creations throughout his life time. He also helped send the first man to the moon with one of his great creations. War does not define who is right, war simply defines who is left. Yet in this case, Wernher…

Astronomy is the study of planets, sun, stars, the entire universe. Since the beginning of time humans have been looking at the space.............then ancient civilization , Babylonians, were the first to start Recording the observation they were making and it's also believe they recorded the first time Halley's Comet passed thru earth in the year 164bc. Fast-forward to the year 1571 to be more exact, Johannes Kepler, was born. This figure was a mathematician, astronomer and astrologer. He is…

What's to know about that lonely planet on the far reaches of our solar system? More than you'd think. It turns out Pluto spits out a fair bit of news on the reg so listen up. Here are five things ignorant Earthlings don't know about the planet. 1. PLUTO IS COLDER THAN WE THINK AND WE DONT KNOW WHY The upper atmospheric temperature of the planet has been found to be much colder than any Earth-based studies have previously found. About 70 degrees Fahrenheit colder actually. That's news to a lot…
