reusable rockets a sustainable possibility for the future? What are rockets? Rocket technology is extremely wasteful, and being a one shot wonder, they show no promise of a sustainable future. When a rocket is launched, it is propelled based upon newton’s 3rd law of motion; “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” This is done by using on board propellant which is then used to create thrust from a rocket engine, by ejecting thrust in the opposite direction to the rocket, it…

The Orion Shield Project is a project created to develop a stronger new stronger and durable material that can extend the lifecycle of the rocket Shuttle Launch Booster. For this specific project, Gary Allison a former Project Engineer at Scientific Engineering Corporation (SEC), was appointed as Project Manager after graduating with a Ph. D. in mechanical engineering. Gary thought he was ready for the new position and assignment, but the reality was different. He encountered several…

to the oppositions suggestions for what the money should be spent on has been done. NASA’s funding is so low that it can’t even launch their own astronauts up to the International Space Station, instead they buy a seat on one of Boeing or SpaceX rockets, and still no money is going towards the things they suggested. Another argument they don’t realize that’s invalid is that NASA does nothing. Throughout their research, development, and launch of ships into space they have created several pieces…

abstract conceptualisation (concluding and learning from the experience) and, active experimentation (creating an action plan). ((Kolb’s Learning Cycle) n.d.) I have chosen Kolb’s learning cycle for this reflection as I believe it to be the most suitable model for the nature of the reflection as it includes chance to create an action plan for the future. Also, Tuckman’s group theory and Belbin’s team roles can be incorporated. ((Kolb’s Learning Cycle) n.d.) Within this reflection,…

victory, “Hitler ordered the launch of a new secret weapon” (Everest, Space Race)—the V-2 rockets, which “[took] just 6 minutes to travel 200 miles to London” (Everest, Space Race) and caused 134 people to die without any defense. Obviously, Hitler’s V2 Long Range Rockets were deadly. Hence, this attack soon drew Allies’, especially the Soviets’ and the Americans’, attentions. They realized that the V-2 rocket was the weapon they must have. And so both of the Soviet army and the American…

Lumin Abdur-Rashid Rhetorical Analysis The article “No Longer a Dream: Silicon Valley Takes On the Flying Car” written by John Markoff. The technology industry is constantly creating new things. An aerospace engineer, has piloted a flying car (Kitty Hawk Flyer) above a lake about 100 miles north of San Francisco. There are many positives and negatives to having the Kitty Hawk Flyer available in society. Markoff uses visuals to appeal to the reader, such that can catch the reader's attention…

The X-15 was the brainchild of NASA (recently NACA), US Air Force, US Navy, and North American Aviation Inc. For nearly a decade (June 8, 1959 - October 24, 1968) the X-15 flew 199 times supplying countless reports of data for aerodynamics, high altitude (exit and reentry of atmosphere), hypersonic speeds, and physiological effects on pilot. During this time the X-15 set the altitude record of 354,200 feet and top speed record of Mach 6.7 (4,520 miles per hour). Because of the massive speeds…

every day life under tight lock down. Present day North Korea is not much different. However, their ambitions of becoming a space faring nation have been in the spotlight as of recently. Which leads to the question: Is North Korea developing rockets and other launch vehicles for the national glory…

Space Exploration. Also known as, the journey into the unknown that our young astronauts are trained to endure for the further extension of humanity. However, we must ask ourselves how humane space exploration really is. We send these skilled individuals into a never-ending night hoping from their safe return from the final frontier. And space exploration should be nothing more than the final frontier, as it must be eliminated. The excursion itself is very costly and is being paid for by…

“Mission Jupiter takes about 43 minutes to arrive, because of our lightspeed rockets, and you will be there for about 1.5 months. Oh, and I almost forgot, if you get chosen don’t expect to survive. Now over to you Carl!”. “Thanks Paul, now for the moment of truth! The first person to be going on mission Jupiter will be…”. There was…
