Doom without Space Exploration The world without NASA, also known as National Aeronautics and Space Administration, innovation would be a bleak world indeed. Think of all the modern technologies that you use every day without thinking twice about it. Now, imagine them gone! What would our modern society look like? Technologies like power tools, cell phones, modern computer processors, and microwaves are just some of the many contributions that NASA brought to us. Still, there are those among our…

However, NASA officials declined the offer. On the day of February 1,2003, Columbia was making a normal landing approach to Kennedy Space center. However just a little before nine am abnormal readings had appeared at mission control stating that the temperature readings from sensors at the left wing were lost after that tire pressure readings from the left side of the shuttle were then lost. Mission control then attempted to get ahold of astronauts but with no success,…

missions. NASA was the one who prepared all the needs for the spacecraft so they could complete their missions. Mars Rover Spirit and Opportunity, Apollo 11, and Freedom 7 discovered and accomplished some great things. These missions helped scientists learn about things in outer space. They changed our world by giving us valuable information about different planets and galaxies today. All these space missions sacrificed astronauts lives and lots of money. They learn about our universe, NASA uses…

While it is true that NASA is an acronym for National Aeronautics and Space Administration, we must remember that NASA’s vision is “To reach for new heights and reveal the unknown so that what we do and learn will benefit all humankind.” This includes both advances in Aeronautics, Space, and in fields that benefit many Americans in their day to day lives. While working towards inventing new and better innovations for space, NASA ends up inventing something new for everyday…

people to know what NASA is trying to do next and the reasons why NASA wants to study the translunar part of space. This article was well written if her audience was to juvenile readers who are curious on what NASA has planned next or why NASA is trying to explore the translunar part of space. Wiles was on target with her main idea with her audience. Wiles reached out to the more curious younger generations by titling her article “Why We Explore”. If people were wondering why NASA is trying to…

The introduction of women into National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) began with the Fellow Lady Astronaut Trainees (FLATS) and was finally completed when NASA allowed women into the space program in 1978. The space race inspired Ride to look into the idea of becoming an astronaut, but she didn’t believe it was a possibility until NASA started actively seeking out women. Because of Geraldyn “Jerrie” Cobb’s encounter with the FLATS program, Sally Ride and other women were allowed…

planet, prancing about in lush green fields with waterfalls of gold. As we know, that's far from the case now. So what happened? Until NASA gives us a logical answer, we might as well say the devil is responsible for the planet's destruction. NASA HOPES TO UNCOVER MARS HISTORY Atomic oxygen affects how gas can escape from the Martian atmosphere. With this logic, NASA hopes to uncover more about why certain gases have eroded over the last few billion years. It's possible that Mars once…

effectively market new missions like colonizing Mars. My conceptualization of a retro-themed infographic highlighting the benefits of going to Mars is one such example of how this can be achieved. The content draws strongly on the rhetoric of former NASA administrator Charles Bolden’s speech “Mars Matters” in which he offers tangible reasons why a Mars mission is beneficial to people on Earth. This is an incredibly powerful statement in vying for public support given that a major reason public…

This program was extremely important but was also very costly. A lot of NASA’s money went into this program. In 1961, the budget for NASA went up five hundred percent, which allowed them to employ many brilliant people to start the mission to go to the moon (The space race). The Apollo program is most famous for sending the first men to the moon. Even though the Apollo mission was very…

are still facing several issues with the actual design and logistics of the program (Clark, 2015). NASA still has to figure out a fuel-efficient propulsion system so they can travel far without running out of fuel. In order to accomplish this NASA has reached out to 12 different companies in a search for help on this new and unknown technology. If these companies can develop the technology, NASA is willing to pay them 400,000 to 1 million dollars per year of work (Wall, 2015). Once completed…
