Landing

At once, a stallion clothed in a grey double-breasted dress tunic stood to attention, gazing towards the robed mare. “General Sunset, the vessel has received confirmation for landing.” Sunset Shimmer briefly turned towards the stallion. “Very well Commander, proceed to engage landing protocol.” The mares focus on the stars were again cut short. By all means, the Holo-Projector stationed on the observation deck chimed as another mare appeared; bowing in greeting to Sunset. "Greetins'…

Similar to the explorations of the New World and South America to be conquered, space is the modern conquest where we endeavor to survey our solar system and investigate the vast universe. What first arose as an idea in the 1950s, it has continued to expand advancing the rate of technological improvement. Some would say, other than exploration what greater influence has the reconnaissance of space brought upon? Other than analyzing different spectrums of the galaxy, the conquest of space led to…

Apollo 13 the “Successful Failure” How did the failure of Apollo 13 actually help NASA in some ways?

First of all, this paper will tell all about the astronauts, and the responsibilities they had on the mission. Secondly, the…

Kennedy did not like the idea of a dawn landing, he wanted it to be more guerilla-like. The CIA had been preparing to strike Cuba with a frontal assault for five months and now Kennedy, just a month before the invasion, was still on guerrilla warfare. This portrays how distant the president and…

We spend so much time in this country talking about the health risks of smoking, drinking, and unhealthy food to preserve our years at the end of our lives. We do very little to actually gain back time during the most productive years. Time spent in traffic and waiting in lines at the store are really a tragic problem in modern-day that never attracts the attention it requires. The postal system in North America has not fundamentally changed since it was started in the 1600s. A person drops…

In the context of Zaleznik’s article (Zaleznik, 1977), Captain Sullenberger is a manager, not a leader. The perception of Sullenberger as a leader seems to lie largely in the mystique of the landing of Flight 1549, and seems to answer Zaleznik’s question of “Is this mystique of leadership merely a holdover from our collective childhood of dependency and our longing for good and heroic parents?” (Zaleznik, 1977). With this question in mind, it is easy to see why he would be regarded as a leader…

The Australian Forces had a considerable influence on the course of the New Guinea campaign (1941–1945) in World War II (WWII) through their achievements in three of the main battles that occurred throughout the campaign. The three battles in which Australian forces played a major role were the Battle for Kokoda, the Battle of the Coral Sea, and Milne Bay. In the battle for Kokoda, Australia fought off the Imperial Japanese Army in places like Templeton's crossing, Kokoda village, and Deniki,…
