Outer space

Space, the final frontier, is something that for the past fifty-five years we have began to explore. The incredible mind power that hundreds of individuals had to conjure up to create the technology to maintain human life outside of this planet is truly a testament to the human success as a species. After the start of the International Space Station, we have begun to study and observe the effects of space on us as humans. The human body was not made to be able to live in the harsh conditions of…

didn’t all the little boys dream of being astronauts and zooming through space in their rocket, floating in mid-air and talking one large leap for child-kind? Well, now that dream can be made a reality for many people who are still dreaming of outer space! NASA has begun starting the Mars Mission,and by the 2030s they plan to be sending volunteers up into space. The volunteers will go through training, then will be launched into space, and in about 500 days, they’ll be on their new home, Mars.…

while navigating outer space have captivated audiences for decades. Star Trek: The Original Series (1966-1969) certainly help birth one of sci-fi’s most memorable franchises and gave a name to fandom which would also start a standard for fans of anything and everything. Firefly (2002-2003) debuted on television screens many years later as a sci-fi offering that also mingled with facets of the Western genre. Both Star Trek and Firefly identify as television shows belonging to space opera, a…

private persons and companies or governmental institutions? Although the modern day space initiative is being mostly spearheaded by private persons and industries, in my opinion, government funded space programs should be leading the initiative. This would help reduce problems related to safety, violation of space laws, and offer hope to the American people not seen since the end of world war II and the Cold War era space race. . Above all in this paragraph I would like to bring to light the…

animals and then people above Earth’s atmosphere into outer space. Well before technology made these achievements possible, however, space exploration had already captured the minds of many people, not only aircraft pilots and scientists but also writers and artists. Many of the things we take for granted as we go about our daily lives from non-stick frying pans and GPS navigation to water purifiers and solar cells are actually derived from space science. “Most people don’t realize that…

Mars is in outer space, miles away, waiting for humans to explore. Other people think that it is a horrible idea to colonize Mars since it is a very dangerous risk. People should definitely go to Mars, there are similarities to Earth, the astronauts could test out new technology, and the most important thing, to learn techniques to live on other planets. Both Earth and Mars have many similarities. Scientists say that there may be a type of bacteria on Mars. If Mars has a bacteria that…

My best friend and I sat myself down, still soaking wet, into the nearest open seats. The camera panned to a stunning 3D shot of the International Space Station (ISS), and I knew that it was well worth the long wait. In second grade, my class went on a trip to the Liberty Science Center. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst possible days to attend, and we arrived to see long lines of students in the front of the building. After only a few minutes of waiting outside, it began to rain. Since we…

the ship cut down on cost to include such a device? Also, normal space missions have to keep enough energy to sustain human life with just the essentials, but on a trip to Mars which could take 68 days (Sample), there would need to be enough energy to keep this shield up for all that time on the way to Mars and on the way back. This is a considerably large amount of energy that needs to be added to the ship. While there are many problems that could be found in this type of shield, the mastermind…

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 society is in space; “…our future is in space” [1]. As a matter of fact, colonizing mars is way hard to achieve. Exploration centers and societies will invest a lot of money to send humans and robots to…

Everyone at some point has dreamed of outer space, and usually at the forefront of those dreams is exploring distant alien planets in advanced starships and making new discoveries that change the way we think about the universe around us. You may think that this is something of a far off dream or pure science fiction but it’s not. Thanks to the discovery of the first exoplanet in 1995 scientists are doing just that every day.. They may not have starships and be zooming around the universe at…
