Space Shuttle Columbia

Have you ever been going 25,000 mph, fourteen times the speed of a bullet? Apollo 13 was just any old Apollo mission a least to the American people. Apollo 13 was a little mission that was to go to the moon and collect rocks that were fourteen billion years old. The oxygen tank exploded two days into their mission. It exploded because of faulty wiring that is why their mission was a fail. One reason that their mission was a fail was they couldn’t even compete their job. Their job was to…

two very special movies about space and space adventures. “The Martian” and “Apollo 13” are one of the best movies about the world beyond the earth. They both express precisely the emotions of the astronauts travelling in the space and of the rest of the world, relatives, friends and crew members of each mission into the space. These two movies are quite different but still have a lot in common. “Apollo 13” is about seventh manned mission in American Apollo space program and the third one…

Jaruis, Mike Smith, Christa McAuliffe, Judy Resnik, Ronald McNair, and Dick Scobee. Christa McAuliffe was a teacher in New Hampshire. She was selected to join the mission and teach lessons about space to kids.…

The general idea of this movie is evolution. The apes that appeared in the first act of the movie show this evolution, since the monoliths gave the apes the ability to use bone tools and eat meat. The idea of evolution was also apparent when one of the apes throws a bone into the air. Time flashes forward, and the bone transformed into a spaceship. Evolution was again evident when the team which was dispatched from Clavius touched the monolith, and a radio signal was heard. Finally, evolution…

tells the truth. In Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly we had the chance to see just a sliver of the hidden heros that won America the space race. Yet, in our textbooks there is no mention of them or others alike. It is critical that the authors of the past don’t use censorship. The narrative that U.S. history used to tell us of the individuals who won the space race was one of a victor. Victor’s are the ones that writes history. Those who suffer or lose don’t talk about their failures and…

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…

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,…

Apollo 13 was a research mission to the moon. Halfway through the 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…

have always been very curious on what is out in space and what humans are going to discover next. Jennifer Wiles was the page editor to this article. Wiles wanted people to know what NASA is trying to do next and the reasons why NASA wants to study the translunar part of space. This article was well written if her audience was to juvenile readers who are curious on what NASA has planned next or why NASA is trying to explore the translunar part of space. Wiles was on target with her main idea…
