Space exploration

One of humankind's greatest achievement is space exploration, a testament to what is possible when people from around the world work together to push the boundaries of what we can do. Over spring break I traveled to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral and I learned a lot about the history of space exploration and what is currently being built for future missions. I believe that engineering the tools of scientific discovery will lead to the most important breakthroughs of the 21st century…

I wanted to look at Space Exploration and the Apollo missions. One of the big things in space exploration is trying to find a way to sustain life on another planet. To begin this process they will start on the moon. All the astronauts will land on the moon, they will not leave one in the shuttle. They will begin with 7-day missions until the moon is habitable then will start 180-day missions to get ready for Mars. It will take 1 year in just travel to get to Mars and back to Earth. They are…

“Space, the final frontier,” at least that is what is said in Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek television show. Outer space has been a big topic since humans have existed the thought of being among the stars and exploring space. This curiosity became a reality with the creation of NASA on July 29, 1956 bringing about a time of space exploration. Even though it didn't make it to the moon for years to come it narrowed down brilliant minds onto the task of getting to the moon. With many victories and…

areas of science. I love learning about it and always find it so interesting study. I chose to research the topic of “Space Exploration: Apollo missions” for this project. I think that it is a significant area of science to explore because there is so much that we do not know. There are probably so many things that we have never imagined that we can learn by studying space further and exploring all of the Lord’s beautiful creations. Through the urging of President John F. Kennedy, the…

CBS’s television series Men into Space, Colonel Edward McCauley, played by actor William Lundigan, presented a powerful but human side to space exploration: "No matter where he travels, one thing will always be the same: man himself. Human nature will not change in the strange outposts of space. There will always be love and hate, courage and fear” (Neufeld 10). Yet, in 1960 when the program first aired, the astronauts were not the ones who experienced the thrill of space, but rather the 180…

Space discovery and exploration There is an uncountable number of stars in the known universe, this statement belongs to University of California at Santa Barbara Science Line. In other words, there are so many planets that, theoretically, it would be possible to count them but because to their number this task seems more like impassible. That is a big intrigue; presumably, in the universe can be uncountable number of planets similar to our planet in many ways, such as natural…

Final Frontier: US government funding manned space flight missions I have always wondered how stars would look like from a different planet. The universe around us is unknown and undiscovered. Investigating space could reveal answers to being alone in the universe. Governments all around the world want the achievement of space exploration. The US government should continue to fund manned space flight missions because it could lead to further research on space, the colonization of other planets,…

the topic of space exploration, the authors of these two articles provide different perspectives of what the future of space exploration could look like. Kuman Krishen’s article, “Technology Needs for Future Space Exploration,”…

Only fifty years ago, exploring space would be a daunting task. These days, humanity is much more experienced in this endeavor with the multiple successful missions doing so. Space exploration is the traveling through the unknowns of space and the research of extraterrestrial bodies using spacecrafts. This includes sending both man and unmanned spacecrafts meant to observe and travel to planets and asteroids. Currently, we live at the dawn of a new space age powered by technological advancements…

Space Exploration. Also known as, the journey into the unknown that our young astronauts are trained to endure for the further extension of humanity. However, we must ask ourselves how humane space exploration really is. We send these skilled individuals into a never-ending night hoping from their safe return from the final frontier. And space exploration should be nothing more than the final frontier, as it must be eliminated. The excursion itself is very costly and is being paid for by…
