Space Shuttle Challenger disaster

that is so much different than our own, training with professional astronauts and, of course, flying in a spaceship. However, the Mars One plan has many flaws, such as an unrealistic amount of time to make the mission work, not enough money to buy space equipment, and a low food supply. One of the main problems with Mars One’s plan is the time they say it will take get the mission ready. Mars One has publicly stated that there will be people on Mars in 2027 which, with existing technology, is…

Funding As a federal agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) receives it’s funding from the annual federal budget passed by the United States Congress. For the fiscal year of 2017, NASA’s budget was $19.5 billion. This number being only about 0.489% of the total US budget at $4 trillion. However, the American public on average, believes NASA’s budget has a much larger share of the federal budget than it actually does. Space Exploration beyond the surface of the Earth is…

robotic missions there’s a lot of different we must consider. How much will the mission cost? How much time will be put into this? What are the risks? What are the advantages? Neil Degrasse Tyson states in the video that for every human you put in space, you can put hundreds even to thousands of unmanned probes and it would be less expensive. If that’s the case why do we keep considering humans on future missions? I’m not saying that sending humans on future missions should just be completely…

Raina Orion Erika Harnett ESS 102 April 15, 2016 Robotic Missions: Mars Pathfinder This research is in preparation to write the fictional article currently titled “Tales of A Space Robot”. This article will be about an extremely advanced AI robot that has spent the past 50 years cataloging and exploring a nearby solar system for life, potential colonization, as well as other scientific research. The research presented below gives an idea of what types of data the robot can collect or potentially…

According to many different articles filled with facts and opinions, Pluto should be a planet. Scientists have been debating for years whether Pluto should considered a planet and part of our solar system. Pluto should still be a planet regardless of its size, and there are plenty more information to understand why it should be a planet, especially in our solar system. First of all, according to, Discovery Education, “For 80 years, schoolchildren have been taught that the Solar System has nine…

around Earth at about 27 000 kilometers per hour. But there were five missions that went to the Hubble Space Craft. All of the missions were servicing missions where they upgraded the Hubble space craft so that it would operate for a longer time because it was making so many interesting discoveries.The Hubble Space Telescope is unmanned. A unmanned spacecraft is when no humans go with it to outer space. But there were some manned missions that went to the Hubble spacecraft. Even Though you do…

What is a Camaro? That is the question automotive reporters asked Chevrolet in 1966 when they introduced a new automobile model to their line of cars. In this paper I will be discussing the design of the Chevrolet Camaro starting with the origin of the car. Introduced in 1966 as a 1967 model year car, the Camaro has been in production for over fifty years with exception of an eight year gap from 2002 to 2010. This means the Camaro has been made for longer than most other domestic car models for…

How would our world react if a meteorite was on a collision course with our planet and there was no chance of it missing us? The answer is simple: the world would return to its roots. The people of our planet would be returning to their homes, embracing their families, worshipping their religion, and praying that a greater power would help us. Proposing that the meteorite suddenly changed its course and missed our planet, how would our world join together through the fear of the event and…

Dorothy Johnson Vaughan was born september 20,1910 in her hometown Kansas City, Missouri. She was hired by NACA which later became (NASA) December of 1943. Dorothy made important contributions to the early years of the U.S. space program and was the first African American manager at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. As a group of African American female mathematicians who were considered “human computers” performing complex computations and getting data for aerospace engineers.…

propel rockets was needed to make rockets efficient and affordable. The traditional engines could not carry huge payloads and used a lot of fuel, affecting the environment. All the space tourism companies had to sell tickets for $100,000 or more due to the rising costs of fuel, so only the wealthiest could afford going on a space vacation. One day, MIT graduate Lester Mammert realized this. He wanted to change this. He started a company, Intelligent Propulsion Ltd., and worked together with a…
