bad experiences with the law at the Indian border, due to the guns they were carrying. I felt extremely lucky once more for the fact that I was still in India having the experience of a lifetime. Going back to the search for perfection and progress, the focus should be right here on planet Earth, not somewhere out in the stratosphere. There are a lot of issues that need resolving in regards to our living environment. Undeniably,…
1950s, when the former Soviet Union launches Sputnik in space. Sputnik was the World’s first artificial satellite. The American political and cultural appalled that…
This justifies why rockets can operate in space. Rockets are equipped with exhaust’s. The rocket pushes on the exhaust and the exhaust pushes on the rocket as well. When the rocket pushes on the exhaust it pushes it backwards, and when the exhaust pushes on the rocket it pushes it forward causing…
and was code named Operation Paperclip. The success of the operation, which ran up until 1990, helped move the US forward in science and technology by using Germans scientists to make advances in all areas of science and especially in the study of space technology that would have taken the US much longer to achieve without their contributions. Although there were ethical and moral problems with Operation Paperclip, the Operation itself was successful in moving the US rapidly forward in science…
when combined with other signals. Second, these frequencies aren’t competing with RF output created by the solar and Jovian electromagnetic fields. So the military radar signals from the Cold War looking for incoming ICBMs are still traveling through space and stand out to any aliens listening on those frequencies. Air traffic radar, military radar and similar applications are still using these frequencies, too, so our planet continues to radiate them. Take this in contrast to the shift to…
socially and led to his parents genetically engineering their second son, Anton, who was physically superior in every way to his brother. However, Vincent was intelligent, intrinsically motivated, and had dreams of becoming an astronaut in the Gattaca space program. He continued to study science and physics in his free time, even though he realized that his dream was unattainable as the genetic testing that constituted an interview would immediately rule him out as a candidate. Vincent’s…
height, and distance where once the human race thought it was impossible. There are actually many different types of rockets such as, balloon rockets, water rockets, and skyrockets. Every rocket plays the same role, taking you to places whether up into space or under the deep sea. Rockets are fascinating machines that changed history. Rockets have helped us explore and learn about the world we live in. We owe this thanks to a man in Auburn, Massachusetts, Robert Goddard. Mr. Goddard invented…
Heliocentric Theory, theorized that Mars was a planet sometime in 1500 AD. Moreover, NASA’s official Mars exploration web page states, “[In 1609 AD] Johannes Kepler [...] publishes Astronomia Nova, which contain[s] his first two laws of planetary motion. Kepler's first law assumes that Mars has an…
astronomy was just a fantasy. As a child, I saw world as an endless array of possibilities. I believed that I was destined to become a space explorer, I would not let anyone else tell me otherwise. Yet it was hard to hold on to that ambition as I began to see my friends give up their dreams and move on. After learning that no one from my country had ever visited space, my dream seemed too unrealistic. I wanted to fulfill my goals and dreams, but at the same time, I feared failure. I didn’t want…
multiple, repeated transitions, or different locations changing with different characteristics. These mineral rich locations may have possibly been habitable in the past. The purpose of exploring Mars is because it is the next destination for human space exploration. We must learn about its environment in order to protect valuable research equipment or lives that are sent into its territory. Because Mars and Earth have many similarities, it is an opportunity for us to learn more about our own…
