As these groups made more and more progress and had a greater and greater presence, they continued to…

The cold war started after world war two around the late 1950’s, it was mainly about the capitalist world against the communist world of Russia (The Space Race). The space race brought great technological advances in the world between the Soviet Union…

George W. Bush made many declarations about space exploration while he was in office, but they following year after Obama took over many of those declarations were axed. This brings up the question whether or not we as a country should or should not be investing in space exploration.

The song was released days before the first moon landing and became an instant hit. Even though he got recognition for that song, David Bowie set out to have his named recognized. Bowie took inspirations from Iggy Pop and Lou Reed and would incorporate it onto his own image. In an interview he stated that he…

masses that orbit around the planet do not twinkle and have nearly equal magnitudes. He describes how the moons are “wandering around Jupiter like the moon around the Earth while all together with Jupiter traverse a great circle around the sun in the space of 12 years” (86-87). This explains how they are moons rather than stars because they orbit around Jupiter rather than being…

Space Missions Humans are expected to travel to Mars in 2030 for the first time, guided by NASA’s hand. In the article, “Do You Have What it Takes to Colonize Mars?

The Road to Success Reading and writing are like the components of a workout; the more you practice, the better you’ll become. This comparison became my motto during a time I had to learn a new language. Although it wasn’t just any language like English or Spanish, this language involved codes, signs, abbreviations, and terms. I would have to learn this new language through the help of reading and writing in a mere three months. Having a hate-hate relationship with reading and writing…
