Overall, the book somehow connects a lot to me. Being stranded on Mars, Watney has to be perseverant and to get through some hardships. However, it is more crucial for him to be adventurous. Watney, the only human being who left on Mars, risking his life for making water from “hydrazine” to maintain…

Everyone at some point has dreamed of outer space, and usually at the forefront of those dreams is exploring distant alien planets in advanced starships and making new discoveries that change the way we think about the universe around us. You may think that this is something of a far off dream or pure science fiction but it’s not. Thanks to the discovery of the first exoplanet in 1995 scientists are doing just that every day.. They may not have starships and be zooming around the universe at…

Society lives through Hvac and does not even realize it . The start of Hvac can go all the way to the 1800’s. In those years , ice was being experimented in 1820 as a way to keep cool, then 14 years later Jacob Perkins invented the ice machine ("History Of Air Conditioner"). In 1902 a 25 year old man name…

That little planet that can create life was populated and civilization has grown from there and the humans have come up with theories as to what…
people as well as the stars. Fascinatingly, they had a lot of knowledge of the science of stars by just observing and had predictions that we can now prove are in some aspects correct through proven research. The Indians knew about the meteorites, sun, moon, and the five planets by tracing the movements of the celestial objects with the only resource they had, their naked eye. This is astounding because they had no telescopes or material to help them come up with such scholarly conclusions or…
foreign involvement to contain communism, an arms race, and the space race (“Cold War History”). The space race is defined as the period of time in the 50s and 60s where the U.S. and Soviets competed technologically to be the first to get a man on the moon.

As the news hit the U.S. the next day, many Americans were worried that the US had become technologically…
