a man on the moon first. It originally began as an arms race to build destructive missiles. But over the years, the main objective has changed.

After World War II came to an end, the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as superpowers. The two countries began to compete against each other because of their different ideals, especially their views on democracy and…

NASA has recently started to hire astronauts for their next space mission, “Mars 2030”. Is it wise to invest money and resources into deep space exploration? According to an online poll on debate.org, seventy-six percent Americans think that the government should invest in the new Mars exploration. With such a high positive response, there is greater optimism about the space race. We know that space flight is both expensive and risky. From an economical perspective, it is always beneficial to…

To answer this question Newton developed calculus. Space exploration is such a valuable discipline because it ties in experts from every area of science; atmospherics, physics, chemistry, geology, biology, astrophysics, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Many of these touch on the foundations of…

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, remains one of the most famous government funded programs in the world. This same agency put the first dozen people on the moon, brought the world together to build the International Space Station, and explored the outer reaches of the solar system.

(3700 both ways) for 3 or 3700 lb (7400 both ways) for six crew members. According to one article, the time estimates are even larger at 2.5 to 3 years with an estimated food weight of 12 tons (not counting packaging) [1]. For serious deep space exploration, either rocket technology will have to increase dramatically, or a different approach must be taken. A possible solution to this problem is to send the food in advance to the destination but for a location like Mars, the food would be five…

When you hear the word space exploration you automatically think of what is really out there or do other forms of life exist. One of the biggest achievements in American history is when NASA’s Apollo 11 first touched down on the moon on July 20, 1969. As Neil Armstrong was the first American to ever step foot onto the moon, but now the space program may be in jeopardy due to significant budget cuts. What would this mean to fellow Americans if space exploration were cut down or completely gotten…

We have sent a man to the moon, we can get to somewhere miles away in minutes, and we can communicate with someone from across the globe almost instantaneously. These are just a few examples of the fantastic technology that we have developed that allows us to do things that our ancestors could never have even dreamed of. Surely, civilization as we know it is far superior to the pre-neolithic people. Well, according to John Lanchester’s article, “A Case Against Civilization,” our perceived…
