Similar to the explorations of the New World and South America to be conquered, space is the modern conquest where we endeavor to survey our solar system and investigate the vast universe. What first arose as an idea in the 1950s, it has continued to expand advancing the rate of technological improvement. Some would say, other than exploration what greater influence has the reconnaissance of space brought upon? Other than analyzing different spectrums of the galaxy, the conquest of space led to…

John F. Kennedy believed that we should also be first in space. John F. Kennedy was one of the most liked presidents. John F.

A hero can be classified by many things. A hero can be superman, a police officer, and even your mom, but what makes a hero. Is it someone who can fly or shoot laser beams from their eyes or someone who saves a baby from a burning building. I’ll admit some of these characteristics are far-fetched since I don’t know anyone who can fly or randomly saves babies on a normal day. All heroes, including super ones all, have something in common, they're admired for their courage or an outstanding thing…

Rocket Analysis This project was about building a rocket that was able to launch. We were expected to make a rocket with a nose, wings and the rockets body. We could use all the things able to make our rockets fly. But in the process, we also had some constraints were that I couldn’t make the rocket balance the way I wanted it to. And, the materials needed to keep the wings and nose on were too heavy for the rocket. The design I chose for my rocket was simple, I had to use Styrofoam for…

The Moon Landing and Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon are forever going to be commemorated as one of the greatest days in the United States’ history. The presence of man on the moon gave America great power during the Cold War and set them up as leaders in science. But with the increasing rise in robotic technology, the question of whether the continuation of humans in space exploration is necessary or even important, or if it would be smarter, safer, and overall more cost-efficient and…
