Space Exploration is worth the costs! Space exploration began in earnest during the Cold War. Space exploration has became known as exploring the final frontier. For many people, seeing or reading about the first astronaut on the moon is a source of inspiration. The benefits derived from space exploration and its research and technology on communications, economy, and health are well worth all of the costs that come as a result. While some will argue that the money spent on space exploration…

Would if technology never came about in the world? We had people coming up with their own ideas to make products we use every day in our lives. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Just as Robert Goddard and Neil Armstrong show, there is a first for everything, and we need leaders to show us the way through the impossible. Robert Goddard was an engineer who came up with the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket.…

Americans could be defined by the area that they are located in, specifically, the region of the United States of America. The USA is found on the continent of North America, between Mexico and Canada. This area makes anyone inside an American by space standards. Many foreign exchange students come to America to understand our culture better, and while they are here, they get to experience all that America has to offer just as a person actually living here. For that time, they are an honorary…

American History of the Harmonica Flying through the Earth’s atmosphere into outer space, astronaut Wally Schirra, played jingle bells on his smuggled harmonica while in orbit. Even outer space is not safe from this pocket sized instrument. The harmonica has spread to almost every corner on Earth, and sold more units than any other instrument. The harmonica is considered an American icon, but the origins of the harmonica is rooted in another country, Germany. Although the actual creator of the…

Humans are very curious. So it was completely natural for Ray Bradbury’s book, The Martian Chronicles, tries to show us the unforeseen consequences of such curiosity, only with exploring Mars. With almost the entire Martian race being wiped out by people, it’s no surprise that humans also almost wipe themselves out with atomic warfare. The consequences of the war and wiping out of almost the entirety of all races are huge and serious. I think the main message of the book is that humans have no…

as an oxygen tank explosion. What make this mission historically significant is that it boosted US morale because they were able to return the crew to earth safely while further advancing progress in the space race. Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission installment in the American Apollo Space Program, and was intended to be the third lunar landing, although that did not go to plan. It was a failed lunar landing, but it failed before they even considered landing on the moon with an oxygen…

The Positive Impacts of The Space Race Following World War II, tensions between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. rose dramatically. These tensions eventually caused the Cold War, a war that did not contain any actual combat between the two countries, but contained U.S. foreign involvement to contain communism, an arms race, and the space race (“Cold War History”). The space race is defined as the period of time in the 50s and 60s where the U.S. and Soviets competed technologically to be the first to…

given color space [1]. In another words gamut literally means the total range of possibilities that can be accomplished from red, green and blue (RGB) for a particular device [2]. If certain color cannot be reproduced accurately there is a way how to calculate the color difference by adequately describing the color by numerical values. Delta E (∆E) is the mathematical difference between two samples and is computed as distance in CIELAB space between two colors. The CIELAB color space is used as…

Mars mission? Bad idea Mars mission is a bad idea because your health and body would be in danger, you would be away many months, and your life would be on the line of death. Your body and health would be a problem on Mars. First, you have to keep your muscles strong or they will deteriorate. For example, you would have to take a jog on the treadmill everyday. Since Mars has such low gravity you will have to find a way to keep your muscles strong. Second, time away from Earth’s gravity harms…

rustling leaves and total darkness, I witnessed the grandeur of the universe. For a brief moment, nothing else on earth mattered and I was carefree, realizing how small and short our presence is compared to the seemingly infinite cosmos. My passion for space was born along with my dream of someday becoming an astronomer. I yearn to relive that mystical night in El Salvador. Early on I realized that education was the only path to fulfilling my dream of working for NASA. Pursuing my dream has…
