Space Shuttle Challenger disaster

month trip, and possible problems with the spacesuit. On Mars the atmosphere is made of carbon dioxide so if you forgot to put on your space helmet and decided to just go take a walk, you would die. Also, being in space can make you have all- timers witch makes you forget a lot of things, so if you had all-timers you could walk out of the space shuttle. Going…

% Intro The future of space for both scientific and commercial missions is threatened by the escalating dangers of space debris. If an effort to remove debris does not take place soon, a "snow-ball effect" where satellite fragmentations cause further collisions leading to a dramatic increase in space debris \cite{ion}. As of 2007, nearly half of all Earth satellites are debris \cite{old}. %TODO finish intro %TODO where is space debris a problem? % History %TODO go more in-depth and…

had 14,095 milion dollars in federal funding.Now today the NASA program has 19,300 million in federal funding. I personally believe that the NASA program should have more to spend on space projects and research. This could help the next generation and the rest of our generation's knowledge on what is really out in space and the universe. The reason the funding is split up in so many different…

The Orion Shield Project is a project created to develop a stronger new stronger and durable material that can extend the lifecycle of the rocket Shuttle Launch Booster. For this specific project, Gary Allison a former Project Engineer at Scientific Engineering Corporation (SEC), was appointed as Project Manager after graduating with a Ph. D. in mechanical engineering. Gary thought he was ready for the new position and assignment, but the reality was different. He encountered several…

spends an exorbitant amount of money each year on space exploration, but the possible benefits outweigh the government…

In Tuttle’s 2014 article "Space: risk 's final frontier" she calculates that the United States spent $41.26 billion and other governments allowed $32.84 billion. She comments that regardless of the government 's’ budget, “the industry grew 4% to a record $314.17 billion” (Tuttle). The article points to private companies for the cheapest space exploration missions of our time. One such company, SpaceX, Tuttle claims, “has managed to…

SpaceX—The Future of Space Travel In the beginning there was NASA. Now that the government is trimming their budgets, private corporations are entering the space race. The leader in the private sector is Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX). This corporation started doing business in 2002 and have come a long way in the industry with the help and direction from CEO. Elon Musk (Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, 2015). What makes this company unique is that they buy…

Should the government be funding space exploration? What has come out of the United States space program and was it worth the investment? Does space exploration have to be government run, or are there alternative ways to explore the universe? It is questions like these that must be answered when determining the future of space exploration. Despite the dream of space exploration being a peaceful one, the U.S. space program only came about as a result of the cold war. The program improved the…

perplexed by outer space. We look at the sky and for the first time in our lives, we feel minuscule. In a world where humans are at the top of the hierarchy, space seems to swallow us entirely. Space exploration’s origin can be traced back to curiosity. Exploring space not only answers numerous questions we all share about the universe, it also grants us a deeper look into the world we inhabit. Try imagining a new color. Impossible, right? We have the same dilemma with imagining space. However,…

The Space Race, brought many different inventions which are useful for many people in their daily life. The GPS was an invention the U.S. created after the pressure which the Soviet Union put on them after creating Sputnik 1. It was a great invention with good quality. At the beginning it was really hard to create this because there were only five satellites in the space, but now, it is easier to have better GPS due to the quantity of satellites there are in the space. GPS is an invention…
