Metric space

perplexed by outer space. We look at the sky and for the first time in our lives, we feel minuscule. In a world where humans are at the top of the hierarchy, space seems to swallow us entirely. Space exploration’s origin can be traced back to curiosity. Exploring space not only answers numerous questions we all share about the universe, it also grants us a deeper look into the world we inhabit. Try imagining a new color. Impossible, right? We have the same dilemma with imagining space. However,…

explored and discovered most of Earth, aside from the oceans, humans turned to the sky. Since man first gazed up at the stars humans have wondered, what all is out there? Mankind’s knowledge about the universe has immensely expanded following the early space exploration missions. The question now is, how did the universe come to be, as well as how can this information be used to enable humans to become more advanced? Every discovery man has ever made has come from within this solar system, if…

Women in Space outlines the struggles women have faced to become astronauts. Women had to fight for inclusion in the Space programs by proving they were capable and qualified for the job. When the space programs first began, astronauts were white men while women held supporting roles like secretaries, computresess, and wives. As the hope of launching into space became more real, the question of women going into space was considered. However, at the time, people thought sending a woman into…

In 1957, the space race rushed the United States to find a way to send man to the moon. NASA had to determine who was eligible and qualified to be an astronaut. They didn’t know what space would be like and no one knew what would happen to the “human body in a microgravity environment” so multiple tests had to be run. Lovelace came up with the mercury test that would be the most accurate and closest thing to testing out the human body under all conditions. NASA picked potential astronauts from…

element that needs to be improved upon with crew safety lies within the area of bacteria of celestial bodies, but from space itself. Mankind has never been in contact with these bacteria that originate from other celestial bodies, and the consequences of encountering these forms of bacteria are unknown. The safest and most logical concept is to improve upon all the shielding from space, to create as little contact with the forms of bacteria as possible (Krishen 5). Another area of crew safety…

The cost of permits and citations are too high for the students to pay and cause a lot of expense problems for teachers as well as students. The distance and number of available parking spaces makes it hard for students to get to and from class in a smooth matter. The parking policies now are too costly, strict, and limited, for an easy commute on…

established occupation would have been asked- "why haven't you taken up law?" As Sherman Alexie in his essay "The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me" narrates that he learned to read with a superman comic book, I realized that I was interested in space when I was amused by flying objects. As a child, I was fortunate to find my interests at a tender age of about seven years and haven't given up since then to pursue my interests as that with Alexie's. This essay tries to explore my life…

Birth Order Did you know that there has never been a United States president that has been born an only child? Did you know that the first 21 of 23 astronauts in space have been firstborns in their families and the other 2 astronauts were only children? This occurs because of birth order. Birth order refers to the order one is born in their family. Although researchers at Ohio State University believe that birth order doesn’t influence people, I hold the belief that it does. Depending on the…

The Rosetta spacecraft is unmanned and is controlled from the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany and at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) in Madrid, Spain. Rosetta is operated from the ground and commands are sent to the craft to adjust its path towards the comet. Theses commands can take up to 50 minutes to reach Rosetta from Earth. Rosetta’s Science Ground Segment are responsible for the collection and distribution of the scientific data that Rosetta sends…

United States along with the help of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in what was a very dangerous mission sent a man to the moon for the very first time. NASA sent three men Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Since that very day, there have been countless debates on if the moon landing actually happened or it was just a hoax put on by the United States to beat the Soviet Union to the moon in the Space Race. After the men of the Apollo 11 mission returned…
