Is ''The Martian'' Movie Realistic? I recently went to the theater to see Matt Damon's newest picture, ''The Martian''. In it, Damon stars as Mark Watney, a NASA astronaut who finds himself stuck on Mars after a freak dust storm forces him and his team (Ares III) off of the planet. When Watney is struck by debri before he can enter the ship home, the rest of the crew is forced to assume he's dead and leave without him. What they don't know is that Watney survived, due to the debri actually…

We have ventured to the moon, but now is it the time to take on another challenging space exploration and journey to Mars? One of the most proud accomplishments for NASA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was leading America to the moon in the summer of 1969, "That’s one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind." Mars seems like the next perfect destination, to have another achievement like that fateful day, but is it the best idea? Similar to Earth, Mars is an intriguing…

America could lose its global power if they don’t get back into space. I know that NASA just shut down manned missions due to budget cuts, and if we don’t go back to space, the U.S. will seem weak. This could cause war, and make more budget issues. However, if they start sending more people to space the U.S. will have more debt, and might be unprepared when a war occurs. The U.S. should go to space because almost all of the countries the U.S. has been competing with have access to space, and…

big impact. It has numerous references and citations to researches, people, websites, and factual information. It specifically focuses on unanswered questions, logistical data such as the budget of NASA, and comparisons to other fields. Furthermore, it has references to people such as Stephen Hawking, NASA and experts from various other fields. There are counter arguments within the text, as the author describes numerous reasons to why space exploration is useful, while also providing reasons to…

federal deficit, why was NASA the program that had such a drastic cutback? Space programs and space exploration should be better funded by the government. Although there needs to be a decrease in government spending on programs because of the government deficit, NASA should not have received such a large portion of their program spending cut. NASA has possible plans for the future, as it is most likely that Earth will reach its carrying capacity at some point. NASA indicated that human…

By 1961, the Cold War was well underway, and up until this point, the Soviet Union had greatly surpassed the United States in the space race. America’s space program, called the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), was waning in comparison to the space program in the USSR. The successes of the artificial satellite Sputnik 1 in 1957 and the launching of Yuri Gagarin into space in 1967 had greatly embarrassed the United States. This embarrassment prompted President Kennedy to…

The Shuttle Challenger Disaster of 1986 The Disaster of the Space Challenger not only affected the way NASA checked their space shuttle and produced them but it also changed the way that they were viewed. Despite the disaster, NASA has gone through positive changes still to this day. These positive changes such as the way they are viewed by Americans as a whole and also being able to make technological advances to improve space missions. The Challenger was expected to explore into space on…

are inquisitive creatures who have reached beyond the stars to satisfy their curiosity. In particular, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a government agency that oversees U.S. aeronautics and aerospace programs and research, wants to “reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humankind” (Wilson). NASA has been a national icon for space exploration for nearly 60 years (Simpson). In the 20th century, the U.S. engaged in the space race, a competition…
