Owl Moon

Movies of the 60’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubick) To me, the film raised more questions than it answered. Roughly it shows humans have conquered the outer space. On the moon, a monolith is mined whose origin and material are unknown, this monolith sends a signal to Jupiter. The space ship Discovery is sent to advance to the destination of the signals. Two of the team are awake, the rest of the team is sleeping. The board computer HAL 9000 is becoming more and more of a threat. For me…

Self-driving cars, face-scanning phones, virtual reality; everyone’s heard it all, and soon enough, science will be able to create absolutely everything right in front of people’s fingertips. Who knows, maybe one day everyone will be able to float around in space, but the reason might not be the reason people would think. All these dangerously smart inventions are practically destroying Earth’s atmosphere, and everyone will need another place to go. The Earth’s atmosphere is being destroyed…

The Day of Tomorrow Remember men your mission depends on our future technology, future of space travel in our solar system. The four soon to be hero's walk out and down the runway to the shuttle's launch pad there over 400 feet in the air the shuttle stands enough food, water, and oxygen to supply for a month. An anxious crowd stood to watch as the four heroes stood on top of the launch pad. ¨Here we stand in front of our four heroes that will save our program, Garth, Seymour, Jeff, Gerald.¨ All…

The beach is different for everyone, different memories and feelings. My favorite memory is of the sun being replaces by the moon. This moment gave me a sense of calm in the storm that is my life. My mom was different, she loved to watch the sky erupt with warm colors as far as the eye can see. She loved life and everything beautiful so she cherished every morning she woke up. My dad and sister were the perfect median between my mom and me. They liked noon as it was when the place was erupted…

We have gone to the moon numerous of times since Neil Armstrong walked on the Earth's natural satellite almost 50 years ago on July 20, 1969, with the assistance of aerospace engineers (Dunbar). Now it is time to “boldly go where no man has gone before.” Aerospace engineering has enabled men and women to complete the imaginable. This career consists of two overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Aeronautical engineers work with the principles of physics of…

Timeless “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars,” says Norman Vincent Peale.

Stage One - The Chicxulub Impactor Origin Theory and how Asteroids enter the Earth's Atmosphere. Origin Theory The Chicxulub Impactor is an asteroid whose origin is unknown. A theory orchestrated by David Nesvorný, William F. Bottke and David Vokrouhlický however suggests that it is part of the Baptistina family of asteroids which was the result of a collision in the Asteroid Belt 160 million years ago (2). This theory is supported by the evidence of carbonaceous material that is present in…

Dwarf planets are considered to be those mass’s in space which are neither planet nor natural satellite. More explicitly, they are a mass which, unlike a moon, orbit around the sun, and due to the pull and force of their self-gravity are of a sufficient mass that they form an almost rounded spherical shape however they are not of a sufficient size to gravitationally clear the neighbourhood around their orbit. (Williams, M) In comparison the definition of a planet, as defined by the…

Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission in the American Apollo space program and the third intended to land on the Moon. The craft was launched on April 11, 1970, at 13:13 CST from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded two days later, crippling the Service Module(SM) upon which the Command Module (CM) depended. Despite great hardship caused by limited power, loss of cabin heat, shortage of potable water, and the critical need to…
