this day the Challenger’s nickname changed from NASA 's greatest triumphs to their darkest tragedy” (par 1). According to Howell “Another incident while on a space mission was the Columbia space shuttle of 2003. It broke apart while…

of sending people there to colonize the planet in the near future. On April 15, 2010 President Obama stated by the 2030s we should have enough information to send people to the orbit of Mars and bring be able to bring them home safely. “ I think of NASA is going to continue in the business of human spaceflight, then it definitely needs a destination” (Greg Klerkx). The support for the Mars One project is huge and has to overcome three problems to make the plan a success. The cost, the value it…

On June 4, 1974 was the beginning of the construction on the Challenger space craft. NASA tried many different materials to build it and each time they came up with a new idea they tested the space craft to see if it was a good idea. They finally decided to use and O-ring. An O-ring is a packing or a toric joint that is in the shape of a circle. It is met to fit tightly between two pieces of metal. An O-ring is not designed to fly in unusually cold conditions. The Challenger was built to serve…

too explore it through the advancement of technology. When the calculations were actually being solved, there was no technology to do this type of complex math. Today, there are. At the time, the artificial way of solving equations did not exist for NASA to use them, so they used the power of the human brain. If we were to extend this research/field, we could combine the human brain as well as advancing technology to extend the research done. 6. Three “power words” mentioned in the article…

Should the government be funding space exploration? What has come out of the United States space program and was it worth the investment? Does space exploration have to be government run, or are there alternative ways to explore the universe? It is questions like these that must be answered when determining the future of space exploration. Despite the dream of space exploration being a peaceful one, the U.S. space program only came about as a result of the cold war. The program improved the…

The Cancellation of Exploration: Bring Back the Funding for Domestic Space Exploration Space, the final frontier. For years, mankind gazed up at the stars, and dreamed of stepping onto the moon. On July 20, 1969, this dream became a reality (NASA, 2014). Neil Armstrong stepping foot on the moon was a bonding experience for most everyone in the country, or even the world. There are some events, like the crash of the challenger, or 9/11, where people know exactly where they were when that…

great-granddaughter of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, aliens are taking over the world. In fact, an extraterrestrial invasion has already occurred and NASA doesn't want us to know about it. NASA HAS BEEN HIDING ALIENS FOR YEARS In a 2014 interview, cosmologist Laura Magdalene Eisenhower confirmed that an alien invasion has already occurred. NASA has known about it but has kept us in the dark. According to her, this coverup has been going on for years. Extraterrestrials have infiltrated…

NASA received compelling data from the moon and Mars that suggest proof of aliens. While no official statement has been made, alien researchers are stirring up the web to offer an explanation. NASA FINDS ALIENS IN MOON CRATER Alien hunters at Thirdphaseofmoon are reporting evidence about UFOs and aliens found on the moon. Using a NASA image, these researchers claim this is proof of alien existence. Looking at the video, one can see what looks like white buildings in the crater. Allegedly, the…

NASA Update News: NASA Science Chief Announces His Retirement; Leaves A Legacy Of Success John Grunsfeld, head of NASA’s Earth and Space science activities, former astronaut and chief scientists will retire on April 30. He has been in the service for four decades and would leave a remarkable legacy in the history of science and exploration. Space reports that Grunsfeld led the NASA’s Science Mission Directorate since 2012. He managed over 100 missions. These include the New Horizon’s…

at least that is what is said in Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek television show. Outer space has been a big topic since humans have existed the thought of being among the stars and exploring space. This curiosity became a reality with the creation of NASA on July 29, 1956 bringing about a time of space exploration. Even though it didn't make it to the moon for years to come it narrowed down brilliant minds onto the task of getting to the moon. With many victories and failures it has lost its…
