The leaps we have taken to learn what is found in space is quite remarkable, we started out just looking with our naked eye wondering what we were even looking at, to now-a-days where we are trying to answer the question of should we live in space. Scientist, Head NASA officials, and so many more have expressed their personal opinions on what is going to happen next, and one bit of common ground that they can all come to is that money is going to be a main issue. With the International Space…

Everyone remembers or has seen the historical video of the first time Americans landed on the moon. When we first hear Neil Armstrong’s famous words, “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” People remember this day as when we made world history. But today, we do not hear about the space program anymore. The world that was once connected by the same dream has disappeared. Americans need the excitement that was there that day. Where generations of people come together and once again…

In 1926 Robert Goddard created the first liquid-fueled rocket, but it was not until the late 1950’s and early 1960’s that the space race between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics hit full swing with the launch of Sputnik, the flight of Yuri Gagarin, and John F. Kennedy’s promise to land a man on the moon. In order to achieve these accomplishments large sums of funding needed to be allocated to the research and development of space flight. The US government has…

From 1919 to 1941 was the time span after World War I had ended and the second World War was just beginning. This interwar period disrupted the United State’s foreign policy. The term “isolationist” is often used to describe the policy used during this era. An isolationist is defined as a national policy of abstaining from political and economic relations with other countries. America tried their best to stick to this approach as the world started on the long path to the deadliest war in…

The next flagship mission we have is called Gigantas I. Gigantas is the word Enceladus in Greeks, which means a very bright satellite of Saturn. By sending a space orbiter and a lander to the sixth largest moon of Saturn and the brightest world in the solar system (NASA, 2015), We can easily accomplish this researching mission and bring lots of valuable data back to earth. Enceladus, with approximately 310 miles diameters, is one tenth of the Saturn’s largest moon. (NolaTRedd, 2016) It was…

The ferocious thumping in my chest wouldn’t stop. Again and Again, trying to get more oxygen into my brain, processing what the hell just happened to me. I put my ear up to the cold metal of the keyhole, sending a stream of electricity down my spine. All I could think was, I need to get away, somewhere, anywhere, from the men with the masks. I feel like I’m watching grass grow. Just waiting for something to happen. Looking around the dinky closet, I had to cover my mouth to stop from screaming…

another astronaut called Michael Collins who piloted the command spacecraft by himself until Armstrong and Aldrin returned a day later to go back to earth.

Apollo 11 was the 5th mission of NASAs Apollo programme where astronauts were on the space…

The Soviet radio announced and also the communication just under an hour after the supposed launch. There was a sensible explanation that there might have not been a human on board but there was a tape machine. “Gargarin himself confirmed that a tape-machine was involved”. (Wisnewksi 41-42). But it would be reasonable to wait for a successful launch and then announce it publicly. He then reported in his book that there was a tape-machine in the cabin of Vostok in which…
