NASA gets $19.1 billion per year while the Military gets $700 billion. Due to this lack of funding, many NASA projects are in jeopardy. Research shows major benefits to giving NASA the funding they need. Although these projects are in jeopardy, many people think NASA gets enough, if not too much. Raising NASA’s funding would directly correlate to the safety and knowledge of American citizens. NASA has multiple telescopes that are dedicated to searching the solar system for asteroids and other…

The idea of space exploration is a trending topic with those who have a fascination with the “Final Frontier” (otherwise known as space). Some people believe that humanity should invest into programs that benefit the idea and efforts of space exploration to make it a reality. They believe that humanity's expansion into space would benefit mankind with all the knowledge and possible materials we would gain from its expansion ; they believe it’s well worth the investment and would return profit…

It is undoubted that space exploration is an important human activity with numerous benefits for the mankind while some progressively adore that it is a waste of money. This essay will prudently persuade how the development in the space exploration could benefit humanity with logical arguments and facts. Innovations are the way forward for continuous development and as a result of such innovations, we have been able to expand our horizons. Latest developments in space transportation and related…

National defense will always be a priority to the national space program. With critical systems like secure communications, early warning, surveillance, intelligence, reconnaissance, positioning satellites requirements never going away as long as there is a threat to the way we live. Space is the ultimate high ground and the U.S. must maintain its dominance in this domain to stay on top. These systems need to be responsive while at the same time reliable and sustainable. There is however,…

What would happen if something were to occur unexpectedly in a place where nothing really happens? Montag, in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, is a fireman in suburbs, and Barton, in Cold Equations by Tom Godwin, is a pilot on a spaceship. Both main characters have problems that need to be fixed to make their world right. People should start being more aware of their surroundings and what can happen around them. Although there are some small similarities, the difference between Fahrenheit 451 and…

Project Management Culture: Case Study on DeTech The case study, “What Helps Us Come This Far?” (Milosevic, Patanakul, and Srivannaboon 2010), is an excellent example of positive project and program culture contributing to extraordinary achievements for the Defense Support Program (DSP) at the global defense and technology company DeTech. Within DeTech, the DSP is a major program of the Space Technology sector, and partners with the government to produce satellites and other space system…

Many people have dreamed of traveling to another planet. Since the technology is there, the clock is ticking for the day the announcement is made that a spaceship is making its way to Mars. Most people do not think about what will happen once there are people on Mars, however, and what they will do then. Survival and living a sufficient life away from the civilization on Earth are common things one might think of. “The Coming Schism” by James E. and Alcestis R. Oberg explores what will happen…

Compared to the documentary, Grinspoon elaborates more on human actions. When he writes “Galileo was able to detect the noisy radio chatter of the civilization that made it,” it implies that human footprint are prominent to the point where they can be witnessed from space (81). This inflates our perception of human actions on Earth because it shows that humans are making an obvious enough impact that is viewable from space. On the other hand, Life’s Rocky Start discusses more in depth about…

Teleportation technology has been seen by many as a Frankenstein event in humanity’s long history. Although the technology has inspired many with its numerous potential applications, it has also terrified a lot of pessimists. Teleportation is a technology that promises to provide instantaneous travel from one location, for instance, Bangkok to another site far from the earth like the Alpha Centauri star system. Such power is one that is worth grasping after. Some have gone ahead to suggest that…

On the contrary, critics argue that funding of space exploration has some drawbacks. Most people believe that NASA’s activities consume too much taxpayer money from the U.S. Federal Reserve. The public also believes that NASA’s $17.647 billion budget on space technology is not being justified neither does it reap any benefits. However, this is a completely false allegation. NASA’s projects do not require a lot of funding as people think. According to Piantadosi (2012), “NASA’s large federal and…
