In 1958, Dwight D. Eisenhower was president. We were in the middle of the Vietnam War. We still only had one type of television. It was the box T.V. Our radio system was a little box radio with a long antenna. Fashion for ladies in 1958 was big poofy dresses and curled up hair. Red lipstick and thick eyeliner. Men would wear dress pants. Dress shirts under their buttoned up coats and bow ties. Always dress shoes, never anything else. Fedoras as well. In 1958 they launched spacecrafts into space.…

NASA Genesis Mission Failure Andrew Slimmon SID: 200365261 University of Regina 1.0: Introduction On August 8, 2001, the Genesis probe was launched at Cape Canaveral, Florida with the primary objective of retrieving samples of solar wind to be returned to Earth. These samples were intended to provide data including the chemical and isotopic composition of solar wind, which would help scientists understand how our solar system was formed(reference). When the probe’s drogue parachute failed to…

Everyday 160 billion tonnes of water flow in and out of the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, more than 4 times the combined flow of all the world’s rivers. Every day an estimated 7000 MW of potential energy flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia is home to the world’s highest tides. Across the world, the average difference between low tide and high tide is 1 m, but along the Bay of Fundy the tides can increase the water level by up to 17 m. What accounts for such…

night so the moon relies on the sun to set and rise during a certain time in the hemisphere 2.The seasons result from the 23.5-degree tilt of the Earth's axis combined with its revolution around the sun 3.The Moon's and Sun's gravitational pulls on Earth are responsible for this natural phenomenon creating the tides. Tides occur because the Moon's gravity decreases with distance from the Moon. 4. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon and…

Lunar 8 was a lunar probe part of the lunar program as you know it was launched on December 3, 1965 with the objective of achieving a soft landing on the Moon but it really wasn’t soft at all. Actually the retrorocket was launched too late and suffered a hard impact on the lunar surface on the “Oceanus Procellarum” (Ocean of storms) the spacecraft spun , losing altitude control and preventing the hard impact. The mission only lasted for only three days not so long , but the mission did…

Once upon a time there was a happy couple, Neptune and Uranus. The two were the happiest of planets, they did everything together. Uranus and Neptune were inseparable. The two had similar day lengths, so all the other planets called them perfect. Every morning they were the first thing each other saw. The two had met 2 billion years ago, and since then they have been together. Uranus, is an icy planet, that easily gets mad, Neptune is a smaller rocky planet, that was super sweet. Everyone in the…

a lot of things before anyone else we should be the first ones to go to the moon by the end of the 1960s. While the moon is still there, we could still go. That generation is ready for anything, that they have knowledge, skill, etc. He thinks that we would accomplish more if we go to the moon. They also have a great budget, And to not be in the last place like always he want's to be first. They set a goal to go to the moon this generation to have more skill, be prepared, and accomplish that…

“Teamwork coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress. working together is success,” (Henry Ford). The United States has been given the task of creating a lunar colony. With this mission we need to be thoughtful and specific when we pick the people to go on this mission. As the late Ford said we need the right type of people to work together to make the lunar colony a success. To begin the selection process we need to look at different types of citizens and what they can bring…

immense. The Art of the Moon exhibition explores the use of the Moon in several works of art, of different mediums, throughout different historical periods from 1490 until 1926. It covers several different distinct periods in art history including Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Gothic to give the viewer a sense…

Apollo’s voyage to the moon impacted the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration budget because the trip was so expensive. Scientists talked about their plans to further missions to the moon and eventually Mars. The reason for human exploration of the solar system was because of the Apollo missions. President John F. Kennedy once said, “land a man on the Moon by 1970 and return him safely to Earth”(Mendell, pg 24). Apollo indeed accomplished this goal, because of the desire for human…
