Case Studies Case 1: During my visit to St. John 's Episcopal Cemetery in Valle Crucis, NC, I came across an interesting example of a laser etched image on Charles Dotson 's gravestone. Etched on Charles 's stone was an image of the USS San Diego along with the inscriptions "WWII," "Bronze Star Recipient," and "Brother Our Hero." Initially, I could figure that Charles was a member of the crew of the USS San Diego during his life, and that time was a defining factor of his personal identity.…
up until now, if the average person proposed leaving a traceable footprint in the heavens they would be greeted with dumbfounded glares and smirks in all directions. However, the scientific community has changed, and recent attempts to travel into outer space have caused scientists and columnists like Theo Emery, author of “The Uncertain Future of Private Space Travel,” to question whether private organizations or the government should…
Should Money be spent on Space Exploration? It would be advisable that more money should be invested into NASA for space exploration purposes. The reason why this would be a good idea is because with NASA focusing on Space exploration they would have to find ways to make stronger and faster rockets and more filling meals for long space flights. In this essay, I will examine what NASA has done for humanity as well as what their primary goal is, additionally I will examine why NASA should get more…
There are many space spinoffs that are used in Earth and are now used in space in many ways. These space spinoffs can be used in many ways to help astronauts in space. Some of these space spinoffs can include materials used for braces, bicyclist helmet, fire-resistant clothing, ski goggles and many more. These space spinoffs can economically and socially are important to astronauts in many ways. For example, the materials used in braces can help scientist create materials such as antennas for…
“The Cassini discoveries in the first three flybys were so amazing. We changed our focus and added 20 more flybys of Enceladus, including seven through the icy jets” says Linda Spilker, Cassini Project Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Target One; Enceladus’s Plumes; would yield the best scientific results because it has the possibility of habiting life, a mysterious heat source and feeds Saturn’s rings. To begin with, Enceladus’s plumes have tremendous qualities that make them…

Why is it worth to continue exploring space In this essay, I am going to teach you why is it worth to explore the space. There are many reasons why it is worth to explore space and travel there. Space exploring is good because, we can learn why is the place where we live is like this and we can use it for our own advantages. Even though it is worth to explore and study space, there are also good reasons why not to explore space. Here, I will give 3 examples of them. First, 20 people have…
Life Support Systems in spacecraft. Life support systems in spacecraft, without them, astronauts won't be able to visit space. All of manned spacecraft have life support systems. In simple terms, life support systems are equipment allowing people to feel as comfortable as on Earth. Earth has an Atmosphere. The Atmosphere is the main shield on Earth. It provides breathable air, and it is responsible for comfortable climates. In space, climates are extreme, and there is a vacuum, an absence of…
As many people heard, going to Mars and colonize is a new mission everyone is discussing about. Many experts and scientists have looked into the Mars mission; in exploring or colonizing. This mission is still unclear whether they are ready to send manned missions or not. Stephen hawking; theoretical physicist and cosmologist, have said: “ ….we must spread out in space and find a new habitat”[1]. His wording encourages and agrees about colonizing Mars and thinks that the future of the Earth’s…
