This report is about an in-flight breakup of the Sealed Composite’s SpaceShip Two during a test flight. The test flight and accident occurred on October 31, 2014 at 1007:32 Pacific daylight time over an area near Koehn Dry Lake, California. It encompasses background information of the aircraft involved, the pilots, and the type of test flight as well as the intended results. Sections of this report will also explain the actual crash to include elements and findings of the accident…

MIBS BEAUMONT, turning 13, is part of a family of 4 children: ROCKET whose uncontrollable superpower, called savvy, is electrifying and electrocuting things, FISH whose savvy is moving natural elements. They only discover the savvy on their 13th birthdays. SAMSON is born a bit later. After discovering FISH and ROCKET’s powers, the family moves to North Carolina to stay safe, where they encounter ROSEMARY WEEKS. They are gathering at PASTOR MEEKS’ church later at the sand sculpture competition…

9 itself is a simple two-stage rocket that uses 9 first stage and one Merlin vacuum engines to power attached payloads to their appropriate operating orbit or transfer orbit. The outside of the rockets first and second stage is made of aluminum-lithium alloy to ensure durability so it can be used again. The Merlin engines use liquid oxygen and rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) propellant for fuel and are capable of providing…

For the bottle rocket Terminator, there were three main test objectives. The variables to be tested where the fuel amount for the rocket, the angle of launch, and the nose shape of the rocket. The first test objective was to decide which nose for the rocket would fly better; a pointed cone nose, or a rounded nose. To test this, the rocket was initially made with a rounded nose; after the other two optimum objectives were filled, the nose was modified into a cone nose to test which was more…

Corrupt Technology In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, technology derives the society from reality. Imagine a society where people care more about their technology than their own families. A Mother who cares more for her television than her own son or daughter. There are kids who kill each other and play violent games due to the propaganda of technology. This society is delusional to the fast rising totalitarian government that 's right at their doorstep. This rising power is feeding the…

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…

way. In September 2016 Elon Musk announced his companies plan to colonize Mars by 2030. The companies plan is revolved around his freshly engineered Inter-Planetary Transport System (ITS), which uses forty-two brand new Raptor methane-fueled rocket engine, which has an enormous amount of power --3,050 KN at sea level to be exact—and is highly fuel efficient. It should be mentioned that the Inter-Planetary Transport System is eleven meters taller than the Space Launch System currently being…

different one if we haven’t made the best of the world we occupy. Furthermore, the rocketry type, (thermal rocketry) is the same from what we used over 50 years ago. The idea of thermal rocketry isn’t that bad, it’s the expenses associated with it. Some rockets use unimaginable amounts of fuel for missions closer to Earth than Mars. Multiple space companies have billions of dollars towards their development and are still asking for more, even though we could use that money for more pressing…

movie by Joe Johnston that includes a character named Homer Hickam, a boy attending high school and has an interest for space and astronomy. This interest sparked from him seeing Sputnik launch into the sky. Although his dad doesn’t exactly believe in his interests, Homer still persists and follows his dream. That’s what our theme is-never give up on what you love doing. The start of his studies weren’t very easy. His first rockets went up a couple inches (at best), and his friends who were…

attacks. They also help out in doing reconnaissance and establishing blockades against other nations (Chow). Other offensive technologies, such as the RPG (rocket propelled grenade), are often used in combatant settings. They are incredibly effective in allowing a single person to take down helicopters, tanks, and buildings (Technology of War). Rocket and bomb technology have also advanced to create tomahawks and smart bombs. Tomahawks are equipped with a GPS and can travel at speeds of 550 mph…
