The first chapter “Apples and Oranges” of the book tells the story of the British natural philosopher Isaac Newton and how he developed his gravitational equation (F=G × M × m÷d^2), which led to a monumental event landing a man on the moon. (Guillen, 1995, p.6) The second chapter "Between a Rock and a Hard Life" tells the story of Swiss physicist Daniel Bernoulli and how he developed his hydrodynamic equation( P+p × 1⁄(2 v^2 )=CONSTANT), which led ultimately to the modern airplane…

with their own cultural beliefs that have developed a great source that is used now and will be continued to be used for generations. The essence of shiftings of the astronomical bodies show us what year, month, day, and time it is today. The Sun, Moon, planets, and stars have been used as a model for the Mayans, Egyptians, and Gregorians to calculate their ways of understanding what their position is. Without the celestial body, it would be difficult to know the season and day it is.…

Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission in the American Apollo space program and the third intended to land on the Moon. The craft was launched on April 11, 1970, at 13:13 CST from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded two days later, crippling the Service Module(SM) upon which the Command Module (CM) depended. Despite great hardship caused by limited power, loss of cabin heat, shortage of potable water, and the critical need to…

The movie Apollo 13 is based upon a true story and tells the story of one of the most famous NASA space missions. It features the Apollo 13 mission to the moon commanded by astronauts James Lovell and his two other crew members, John Swigert and Fred Haise. The movie depicts the mission of the Apollo 13, while also including the accounts and events that took place. The movie follows closely to the story and differs from the real event in only a few ways. Some of these include Ken Mattingly’s…

Apollo 13 the “Successful Failure” How did the failure of Apollo 13 actually help NASA in some ways? This essay will show how and why the failure led to later success for NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). Apollo 13 was an interesting exploration for many reasons: the astronauts in space, Apollo spacecraft, and the difficulties during the exploration. First of all, this paper will tell all about the astronauts, and the responsibilities they had on the mission. Secondly, the…

“Laika” and “Flotsam” “Laika,” by Sarah Batkie, and “Flotsam,” by Jeremy Allan Hawkins both deal with the idea of being lost. While “Laika” uses space and Laika the dog as a parallel to the narrator’s sense of isolation in the world, “Flotsam” approaches the idea of being lost through the description of a ship floating astray in space. Where they differ, however, is in the use of space in the pieces; while “Laika” uses space as an accessory to the fiction narrative being told, “Flotsam” is…

Fifty-six hours into NASA’s third attempt to land on the moon, Houston radioed the spacecraft with a seemingly-innocent request. Following NASA’s instructions, the astronauts turned on the hydrogen and oxygen stirring fans in order to obtain more accurate readings. Two minutes later, an oxygen tank exploded. Electrical power and the altimeter readings began to fluctuate wildly. Communications were briefly lost. Three minutes later, fuel cells one and three failed. Over the next 130 minutes, the…
