He had many preferences and passions as a kid. He saw the ocean as a place to explore and this pushed him to look out for new ways to document it. Because of this he was able to take part in the Challenger Expedition. The Challenger Expedition was the first of its kind. It gathered all types of marine life that was just being seen for the first time. They learned the basics like what temperatures of the ocean in certain spots were and along with it all they learned…

build space vehicles? What is the first thing that comes to your mind? Most people would say space shuttles, but the truth of the matter is, there is more to space vehicles than just the space shuttles. In fact there are a total of eight different types of space vehicle classifications. Let’s take a look at the eight different types and why we should continue to develop space vehicles a little closer. For the last 3 years of my military career, I worked in the U.S. Army’s only space…

accomplished many feats over the past 50 years. From putting the first primate in space, to the first man on the moon, NASA has done things that no man had previously done before. While they might not have been the first program to accomplish some of these feats, what they have done will go down in history forever. On May 5, 1961, the first American sent into space was Alan B. Shepard Jr. This was done in his Mercury space capsule. The first U.S. astronaut to orbit Earth was John H. Glenn Jr.…

Between being the 152nd human to visit space and being the representative for his electoral district for over 5 years, Marc Garneau has had a decorated life. Two dates were extremely important in Marc Garneau’s life: October 5th 1984 and October 19th 2007. The first, the day he went into space onboard of the American space shuttle Challenger and the second, the day he became the official candidate for the Canadian Liberal Party in the district of Westmount—Ville-Marie. Mr. Garneau once stated…

Women in Space outlines the struggles women have faced to become astronauts. Women had to fight for inclusion in the Space programs by proving they were capable and qualified for the job. When the space programs first began, astronauts were white men while women held supporting roles like secretaries, computresess, and wives. As the hope of launching into space became more real, the question of women going into space was considered. However, at the time, people thought sending a woman into…

National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, remains one of the most famous government funded programs in the world. This same agency put the first dozen people on the moon, brought the world together to build the International Space Station, and explored the outer reaches of the solar system. Today, the program does not hold the same respect as previous years. Combative politics plague NASA. It needs a new budget plan to end its uneconomical rocket program: the Space Launch System.…

TThe US space program has a long history, which began in the 1950s. Women played a key role in this history as secretaries, human computers, wives of astronauts, astronauts, and many more. The spark that struck the idea for an American space program was Sputnik, the first Russian satellite in space. The US started with building nuclear weapons before they were ready for the space program, NASA. Once NASA was formed it was their goal to get humans in space, at first scientists thought it was the…

of the American space program are long past, the role of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration should pivot — from space exploration to space regulation. In particular, private companies — not NASA — should undertake the exploration of space and NASA should oversee these ventures, much as another federal agency, the FAA, oversees private aviation. Private space companies would go through rigorous tests and monitoring period and at a certain point be 'cleared ' for space travel with…
