every territory across the world ("The Real Story of Apollo 17... And Why We Never Went Back To The Moon."). The Soviet Union succeeded in putting Yuri Gagarin into space in 1961, just a couple years after launching the first satellite into orbit ("The Real Story of Apollo 17... And Why We Never Went Back To The Moon."). By 1966, the space race peaked: NASA received its highest budget ever, at just under 4.5% of the total US federal budget at $5.933 billion dollars, which is about 43 billion…

and well prepared astronomers, we have been able to expand our knowledge in regards to space, starts, planets, and other unidentifiable objects that we are still studying. Yet, even with all the information that we have, we are not yet completely knowledgeable of what other things exist out there in space because there is another world out there that is different to what we consider our world to be. The film Space Next provides us with an insight of all the things and discoveries that we might…

not do anything about their actions another solution might be to try to live on Mars. President Obama and President Trump have been supporting Nasa to be able to send people to Mars by the 2030’s. Astronauts have had many “trials” (living in a small space with other people for 6-12 months) around the world. Nasa thinks it will take about 6 months each way to Mars and the astronauts would have to live on Mars for about 2 years as they wait for the planets to realign for their trip home. The…

On Earth, radiation does not hurt us because we are shielded by a magnetic field. In space, however, it’s a different story. “The effects of radiation exposure could include severe memory loss, brain damage, and cancer,” the article says. (pg. 19) Once colonists get to Mars, they would need some sort of shielding since they wouldn’t have…

moon are very compelling. One explanation was that America had to keep up with and surpass Soviet advances in outer space because of the Cold War. After the USSR launched Sputnik in 1957, fear erupted across America, both inside the government and throughout the population, that the Soviets could be watching their every move. This fear started the space race. The end goal of that space race had to be something that would prove one…

It Is Nothing but Science Fiction The Guardian published an article titled “$ 100m to find alien life? That’s a start – but not nearly enough” by Rebecca Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer is a writer for the Guardian, and chair of the American Museum of Natural History’s department of astrophysics. In the beginning of the article, the author asked a scientific question and wondered if we are alone in universe. Furthermore, she emphasized that there is alien life out of our solar system. However, the…

If there's anything Floridians love, it's cigars, aliens and bath salts. One fortunate resident was able to get two-thirds of those the other day on film. One video shows a cigar-shaped UFO flying over the skies of Saint Petersburg. Scientists were not available to comment as they had their hands full with a weird new comet. Plus, no one believes a Florida man anyway. DID UFO CIGAR ESCAPE FROM CUBA? A Florida man in Saint Petersburg caught some interesting footage the other day. No, it was not…

This agency was funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, but why the department of the defense who may ask. Well, in October 4th, 1957 Soviet Union Launched Sputnik 1, according to Nasa, the sputnik was the world's first artificial satellite in space and it was about the size of a beach ball, this launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments. Sputnik caught the American people off-guard because they feared that the Soviets' ability to launch satellites…

future is one that is easy to discuss when it comes to the future but Star Wars is one where you really have to think, how does this relate? Star Wars Portrays a Society that spans many planets instead of just one. It is a galaxy where people use space ships to drive everywhere and can travel from planet to planet in a matter of minutes. Their weapons are lasers and society is a little bit more like the wild wild west than truly civilized. Back to the Future however, portrays a civilized society…

need to be discovered. So much money is going to space exploration and organizations such as NASA, and less is going to organizations that need it like American Legion, and Make A Wish Foundation. Going into space allows scientists to discover new things and possibly new worlds, but the earth needs to be taken care of first, before going out and discovering a place where oxygen can even be breathed in. Instead of sending billion dollar rockets into space and using american taxpayers money to…
