However, when this subject is brought into question people tend to take a strict stance on one side or the other. It is easy to dismiss the entire objective of putting man in space as a waste of time and resources, but that could not be further from the truth. Space exploration stimulates technological innovation and provides a clear path for economic growth. Defunding NASA would be counter productive and…

The Challenger Explosion and its Effect on the Twenty-first Century On January 28th, 1986, the world experienced one of its most horrific tragedies. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was prepared to launch a shuttle mission. The shuttle that NASA was sending to space was named the Challenger.

his opinion that with the tragedy of the Space Shuttle Challenger the government via NASA should not be the leader in charge of our space program. While Mr. Simberg was knowledgeable of the Challenger disaster linking the event as a predictor of the leadership ability…

this belief of superiority; each country during this period tried one-upping each other to establish dominance. NASA during the span of this race spent 23 billion dollars (Dickinson). Because of these high priced missions, leaders must question whether space exploration is a beneficial trade-off for the price. As a direct result of these high prices, the government has cut the budget of NASA, taking away jobs and hurting the economy even more. However as former president Andrew Jackson once…

program was Sputnik, the first Russian satellite in space. The US started with building nuclear weapons before they were ready for the space program, NASA. Once NASA was formed it was their goal to get humans in space, at first scientists thought it was the best idea to have women in space because they were lighter weight and more aerodynamic. Before NASA was actually ready to send the first people in space, a scientist Randy Lovelace performed physicals on air fighters (all men) and women…

One of their biggest feats was putting a man on the moon. This virtually won us the space race and put us at the forefront of space technology and research. Many thing have changed since Neil Armstrong first stepped…
