has been greatly affected by this budget cut is the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA). For my research paper, I aim to explore the reasons as to why the U.S. government should raise NASA’s budget. It is important to understand that NASA’s budget cuts could have a severe impact the U.S. economy. A superpower like America could lose its status as a leading technological hub. Moreover, without a space program the lives of the inhabitants of this planet are at risk as we face…

The cost of human life during the Space Race between the United States and Russia was the most important in getting a man to the moon. In 1967, a fire exploded in the cabin, killing Lieut. Colonel Virgil Grissom, Lieut. Colonel Edward White, and Lieut. Commander Roger Chaffee, it raised a new question. Is the conquest of space really worth the cost? Even though the vehicle was built to reach the moon 239,000 miles away, it exploded 218 ft. above the launch pad at Cape Kennedy. This was a…

in space or on the Moon. In conclusion Safety Regulations were needed in case of an Emergency; For Astronauts need to stay Healthy and Cautious. The Moon can be a dangerous Environment where gravity and oxygen was not varied. Alien life forms that were said to be on the Moon are just myths for there are many patterns that can deceive the naked eye. The Moon was a target for Space exploration and a race set in July 1969, by President Kennedy. Apollo one was a Devastating day for a Space…

worried about absolute and total destruction of the human race by space war? No? Well you should. Currently the United States has in effect a bill that bans cooperation between NASA and the CNSA (Chinese National Space Association). It is the legacy of a conservative lawmaker by the name of Frank Wolf (Fernholz 15). His bill cuts off any funding for work with China, recently the CNSA requested help from NASA for a new joint space station, however due this bill known as the Wolf amendment NASA…

The positive one, is that by searching the space we have gained knowledge mostly related to astronomy, electronic engineering. and the medical field. And I admit that it’s a lot! Even so, there should be a limitation, in other words the discoveries made should not to be used, exclusively for personal financial achievements in lieu for the benefit of the world population at all levels of their financial budget. Lamentably…

‘How did John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s actions impact the space race during his presidency (January 20, 1961-November 22, 1963)?’. I first explain and evaluate two sources: JFK’s Last Hundred Days, by Thurston Clarke, is a book detailing the last fourteen weeks of John F. Kennedy’s life. Spaceflight and the Myth of Presidential Leadership, by Roger D. Launius & Howard E. McCurdy, is a book about the impact of presidential leadership on the space race. Both books hold relevance to my investigation…

article outside of educating the reader. “A couple of years ago, researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre discovered a thruster system which actually generates thrust, despite requiring absolutely no propellant.” (Paragraph 1, Line 1) Personally, I do not believe this is a quality opening hook, simply because it would only be engaging towards and audience with previous knowledge of astrophysics and space travel. This opening statement might befuddle some readers causing them to turn away…

The Vitality of Privatized Space Endeavors More often than is recognized, the human world relies on science. Humans, unlike any other species on Earth have mastered the practice of using science to shape the natural world in their image, and mold it to their benefit. This practice has served humans well on this planet, but one can’t help but wonder what future opportunities may lie beyond Earthly borders. If humankind could implement the same kinds of successful appropriation, extraction, and…

Technological advances and cultural changes allowed the average American to experience a new way of life, that they had never had the opportunity to experience before. During the 1980s many new inventions changed the world forever, including the personal computer and the Space Shuttle. During this time there were also many spectacular moments in sports history, including the miraculous U.S. hockey team from 1980 and the incredible rookie performance by sports legend Magic Johnson. The equality…

challenged by few. Now that we are jaded of what seems to be everything on earth, we thirst for a spring of unknown knowledge. That exploring space, with the inkling that it is the next step to improving life on earth, will successfully quench. However, us dismissing our home as being fully explored is rash. It is not ethical for us to try to travel to deep space when we have many unexplored territories and problems, corresponding with them, right here on earth. Humans have always had the…
