Directly created from the Space Age was the introduction of Space Age Pop, also known as Bachelor Pad Music . Rather than fear and mistrust present during this era, Space Age Pop communicated a more optimist point-of-view of the time period, using the post-war economic and technologic boom and humanity’s ventures into space as fuel to…

Space exploration is the ongoing investigation of the environment beyond Earth's atmosphere. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun in our solar system that could possibly contain life. It contains many unknown things to discover and could overall greatly advance humanity. It is greatly debatable whether the United States should expand our space exploration to Mars for many reasons. The United States should not lead a mission to send humans to Mars since it would be too costly, take an exessive…

Throughout the decades astronaut foods has changed greatly. Astronauts no longer have to eat from a tube or cubes. Skylab and other laboratories are trying to make foods more tasteful and convenient for the astronaut and the space within the shuttle. The preserving of food has a major impact on the body of astronauts and can surely be improved with time, technology and examination. Scientists also are trying to improve the ability to expand the shelf life of many food items. Making foods that…

A year ago, maybe you have heard of the advertisement saying that if you will buy this certain product, you will have the chance to join other people in a one-way ticket journey to Mars.

Would you like to move to Mars? The problem in the article “Would You Move to Mars” by Lauren Tarshis, is that the Earth’s climate is changing. The NASA is trying to find clues that will make them find something living so the earth people can move to mars without wearing spacesuits. My opinion is that Earth is better than Mars, even though the climate on Earth is changing. There is a lot of reasons that I would not want to move to Mars, because it is not fun there. When you want to go outside…

Though all the technology discussed in the passages are very interesting and useful devices. The Dropsonde Hurricane Sensor seems to be the most useful for researchers and explorers today. The 'Mailbox', discussed in the first passage, "sent powerful jets of water down curved metal tubes..The clear water flushes away 40ft. wide strips of sand on the murky ocean floor." (found under the picture near line 6). This machine helps people find underwater treasures. When it comes down to it, it's not…

Our Space program should be ended permanently. Our national debt is already high in our imperfect country and at a time like this, space seems to be less important than our countries problems. Our space program budget is astronomical. While we are debating on ending welfare, we just spent millions of dollars for a…

spun it until it was perfectly fitted in. Then I plugged the other, and did the same to it. That was what the doctor asked me to do. I walked into the classroom, sit down, opened my music folder.

The instruments’ sound volume was then turned down; less music flew into my ears. The earplugs, as though the physical…
