A long time ago (3.9 billion years to be exact) in a galaxy far, far away, a deadly black hole ripped a star to pieces. In 2011, evidence of this was finally detected by NASA's Swift satellite. Within days, scientists around the world were able to identify the cause of the outburst. While their description has more to do with tidal disruption, one never knows when evil aliens could be to blame. NASA HOPES TO UNDERSTAND VIOLENT BLACK HOLE NASA doesn't quite understand what caused the X-ray…

Russia was on the brink of sending people into space. As far as I understand it, American officials didn’t want America to seem weak and helpless in the face of new technology and discovery. So they formulated NASA and the Apollo space program where they were determined to beat the Soviet Union in the race to put the first man on the moon. During my research I studied the sometimes fallible human nature of those scientists and public officials. John F. Kennedy when he was president…

has been greatly affected by this budget cut is the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA). For my research paper, I aim to explore the reasons as to why the U.S. government should raise NASA’s budget. It is important to understand that NASA’s budget cuts could have a severe impact the U.S. economy. A superpower like America could lose its status as a leading technological hub. Moreover, without a space program the lives of the inhabitants of this planet are at risk as we face…

Commercial use in the space industry is expanding in the Twenty-First Century and corporations are determined to invest their money in it. This private sector is expanding so, there are parties that criticize the exploration of commercial use. However, there are beneficial results if companies fund toward this industry. Big corporations such as Boeing and SpaceX have partnered up with NASA and their projects providing major outcomes and a flourish within the age of commercial space programs. The…

Autonomous technology has always been an important part of space exploration. Spacecraft can be fully autonomous or can work in collaboration with human operator on earth. All space exploration vehicles needs to be at least partly autonomous because of the distance that separates it from the nearest space station. Far distances mean that communication with the vehicle will always be delayed, therefore the vehicle won’t be able to react to sudden changes. For example, it takes 14 minutes for a…

Earth, where we live. What you happen if we had no sun? What would happen if there was only poisonous gases? Earth as we know it could have turned out a lot different then it is just by these little things we didn’t know was out there, in space. Earth’s atmosphere is thick enough to prevent poisonous rays of radiation from getting to it. The earth’s rotation is gradually slowing down because of the moon. ‘’As a single footstep will not make a on the earth, so a single thought will not make a…

Space Story Intro - Well honestly, I don’t really know where to start. I’m not really even sure what the point of all this is. Well, I guess we could start at the attack? Yeah sounds good. Alright so, I’m not sure on the exact date but, it was somewhere just beyond the derious belt. Yes I think that sounds about right. At that time, I was a cadet in the G.F.C. I don’t know what it is about space, the vast openness, the overwhelming lights, or the freedom of flight; but it always gets to me.…

strength and perseverance of NASA. When the country was going through “that period…of the gloomiest in U.S. history,” NASA was unstoppable (par. 3). They were inspiring the lives of citizens. They were accomplishing great measures in the exploration of space. NASA did not allow the Cold War, civil rights movements, assassinations, riots, or even the hot war to bring them down. They continued to dream and achieve despite the pessimism and hardships the country was…

1) According to the author of A World of Art line is important in an artist since it plays a major role in human history, delineating city limits, county lines, and state and national borders. 2) In Matthew Richie’s quote I think he is trying to talk about the structures of line and properties of how line can be structured. Then, Ritchie’s is trying to use it as a symbol when it comes to using a straight line since it can represent the direction and the curve can mean to join things. I also see…

The space sector is an increasingly complex and competitive operating environment. They contend with daily economic uncertainty, shifting regulations and the increasingly complex demands of meeting their agency objectives. Today, space technologies are important to daily life, contributing to knowledge of our universe, enhancing national security, and provide guidance when natural disasters occur. However, many emerging nations and private corporations are creating an increasingly complex…
