I can’t believe that I got the opportunity to take this trip, but now in my opinion this is probably not a good idea because this raggedy old carrier plane probably could never make it across the ocean. If it wasn’t for this plane having a small, dirty, and old jeep sitting in it collecting dust for what seemed to be years maybe it would not seem so terrifying. However all the money I had saved went into this horrifying plane ride, and my “room” on this island of dreams. After take off it was…

Что делать? What is to be done? This question was famously asked by the 19th century Russian philosopher Nikolai Chernyshevsky, and it would inspire the likes of Leo Tolstoy and Vladimir Lenin. Lenin would go on to publish a pamphlet under the same name, creating further animosity on the road to the Russian Revolution of 1918. Tolstoy would discuss this question with a man named Nikolai Fedorovich Fedorov, who would argue that any question – the above in particular – is, under its surface, a…

Three astronauts were killed in this terrible accident causing a great shock. Still the program forged onward until Apollo 7, the first manned Apollo mission, was able to orbit the Earth and test the systems that were needed…

Soviet margin, Soviet support for revolution in the Third World, and the unresolved status of Berlin, increased superpower tensions and sustained fears on both sides that the Cold War might escalate into some form of open military conflict. The 1957 launch of Sputnik raised concerns in Washington that the Soviet Union was developing a dangerous nuclear advantage. This prompted a series of crash Pentagon programs to increase the United States’ nuclear capability. A missile gap existed in favor of…

On July 16, 1969, a very special mission put on by NASA was launched. It was on this day that three soon to be famous astronauts would make their marks in the history books. On July 16, 1969 , Apollo 11 was launched. The spacecraft carried Commander Neil A. Armstrong , Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” E. Aldrin, Jr. Two of the three would soon go on to do something that no other human had ever done, they would walk on the moon. These American’s…

He then plans to controllably ignite the hydrogen and oxygen gas to form water (Weir 26).…

From the end of the 1940’s to the early 1990’s, an intense rivalry and tension between the United States and the Soviet Union feared the citizens, which was later called the Cold War (Alchin, 2015). Although the Cold War was full of fears and anxieties, it is considered as one of the most important event in US history. There are several reasons to support this statement. Even though it is called the Cold “War”, this “War” ended without a single use of fire. This was possible because of the great…
