Space Shuttle Challenger disaster

message came over the intercom, it was time. I engaged the thrusters and aimed for the NARSS(North American Recreational Space Station). This will be my home for 15 years. You are probably wondering how I got here. Ever since I was five years old, I wanted to travel to space. Due to my good grades in math and science, I was able to enter into a competition to be the first to go to a space station resort and school orbiting earth. The station was constructed in 2050 and will be open to the public…

manned mission into space in 1973. The mission lasted a total of 28 days and provided us with more information about space that we had previously not known. This was known as the first Skylab launch, and consisted of a three man crew which included Charles C. Conrad Jr. (commander), Paul J. Weitz (pilot), and Joseph Kerwin (scientist). While up in space they were able to conduct experiments which in total they spent 392 hours on. They were able to accomplish a lot up in space in the short 28…

SpaceX founded back in 2002, has come a long way in a short time when it comes to paving the way for reusable and more responsive space launch vehicles. It currently has two different launch vehicles at its disposal the Falcon 9 and the Falcon Heavy. The Falcon 9 space launch vehicle is designed to be reusable. The Falcon 9 itself is a simple two-stage rocket that uses 9 first stage and one Merlin vacuum engines to power attached payloads to their appropriate operating orbit or transfer orbit…

government has drastically lowered the amount of funding NASA receives, hindering what they are able to do. However, recently privately owned companies such as SpaceX and Boeing have begun to design commercial space ships, and have even had major success and break through with those ships. Space is one of the last places, that we’re able to truly explore and find new things that could possibly help us back here on earth. Given this, NASA should receive a higher amount of funding so that it may…

answer to this is only the future can tell, but the future is now. The writer states that with all the things happening in NASA this trip could be faster than you think. This statement is important because it could also find the problems with a long space trip and…

Mark Watney is having the time of his life, and then it turns into a nightmare. Mark is on a trip to Mars with his crew. When they arrive on Mars, they decide to start building the hab. While they were finishing the hab they noticed the radar said there was a big sand storm. The sand storm was getting closer and dangerous so they were trying to get to the rocket ship. They were in such a rush they didn’t notice Mark was not there until they got to the ship. They had to leave Mark behind because…

Hidden Figures: Historical Film Analysis Directed by Theodore Melfi and set post World War 2 in 1961, the film Hidden Figures is based on a true story; the story of an African-American woman who made it possible for NASA to send a man in space. The biographical drama film is inspired by a book of the same name written by Margot Lee Shetterly. The film explores the ideologies of racial equality and ethnicity after the traumatic event that cooled down further mass conflicts. It’s difficult to…

further break this down by realizing how helpful the ability to fly has been. In flight, travel has become more expedient, efficient, and cost effective; nations can now protect themselves by air defense and protect others as well, and by exploring space we have gained a knowledge greater than can be imagined, which will lead us into the unknown. As humanity approaches the centennial of flight, we, as a society, can only look in awe of the past 100 years of immense technological advances,…

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was eager to launched the Space Shuttle Challenger, one of its greatest accomplishments, for its 10th time. In its previous trips, the Space Shuttle Challenger deployed 10 satellites, spent 62 days 7 hours 56 minutes and 22 seconds in space, traveled 25,803,936 miles and did 995 orbits around Earth. The Space Shuttle Challenger had been sitting on the launch pad since December 23, 1984 and the scheduled launch had been postponed three…

mission, the space ship blew up. America thought the astronauts were doomed, but the people at mission control thought otherwise. They brought astronauts back home alive. They never did make it to the moon. Apollo 13 mission was a success for many reasons. The first reason is that they came back alive. After having half of there oxygen supply blown out into space and there being depleted fast, they pulled through. The reason for thinking this is because it states in the Scope article, Disaster…
