Space Shuttle Discovery

Discovery as a process produces challenges, nevertheless can the impact of discovery be ultimately joyful? Simon Nasht’s documentary ‘Frank Hurley: The Man Who Made History’ (TMWMH) and Richard Flanagan’s ‘The Narrow Road to The Deep North’ (‘Narrow Road’) reveal that although discovery can create joy for some, it does not necessarily mean joy for all. These texts expose that challenges evoke and emotional discovery that can range from fulfilment to despair, rediscovery is completed in the hope…

The Challenger Space Shuttle tragedy is one of the most widely studied cases of design negligence in history. Its explosion on January 28th, 1986 was the result of a design flaw in the solid rocket boosters. Problems with the design were detected a long time prior to the launch date, however due to a constraint in time, and pressure from NASA management to maintain its frequent launch schedule, the design was not changed. After the launch failure, investigations into the cause of the explosion…

History Era Project 1970-1990 The Challenger space shuttle disaster was the worst moment in the NASA programs history.It starts as a normal day it was going to mark the shuttles 10th successfully launch.The Challenger was expected to perform as expected after being tested for 11 months there were no doubts about the launch. When the shuttle took off everything was normal, but after 73 seconds it exploded killing all 7 crew members including a school teacher.Marking it as the most horrific moment…

On January 28 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded over the Atlantic Ocean only seventy-three seconds after takeoff, killing all seven astronauts on board. The Challenger was the second space shuttle constructed by NASA. Also, it had completed nine successful missions before the disaster. Following the accident, the shuttle program was suspended for 32 months as President Ronald Regan appointed a Commission, chaired by William P. Rogers and known as the Rogers Commission, to investigate…

the O-rings that cased the Challenger to explode), the Kennedy Space Center and the Marshall Space Flight Center. The engineers, who were low level, expressed their concerns for the safety of the crew as well as the Space Shuttle but were ignored. In the case of the Columbia tragedy, a large piece of foam possibly hardened by ice, had detached itself from the main fuel tank and caused damage to one of the wings. This caused the Shuttle to lose control during re-entry. The organizational…

artifact form the Unmentionable Times and those " 'are damned who touch the things of the Unmentionable Times" '(33). He risks severe punishment but does it so he can explore what he does not understand, ultimately leading to his own scientific discoveries. This defiance leads to a place for the lab where he uncovers one of the mysteries of the past: electricity. In another instance he loses track of time and rushes home, but before he can sneak in he is taken to be questioned by the Council.…

Self-discoveries from confronting emotional experiences can lead an individual to re-evaluate the value of life through acceptance thus contributing to a change in perception of self and the world. Michael Gow’s play ‘Away’ depicts the necessity of individual discovery for its characters leading them to re-assess what is significant in life, influencing their personal connections and bringing change in perception. Similarly, in ‘The Red Tree’ by Shaun Tan, an unnamed little girl who is woken up…

Discoveries and discovering can offer new understanding and renewed perceptions of ourselves and others Discuss the statement with reference to your prescribed text and ONE related texts of your choosing. Discovery is the act of detecting something new, or something old that had been unrecognised as meaningful. Discoveries can give an individual a different perception of oneself, individuals, and society. In The Tempest, by William Shakespeare, by discovering the truth characters hold a…

Real World – Space Shuttle Launch Most people wonder what calculus can be used for in future career opportunities. For me this was easy to see because I knew what I wanted to go into. In the future, after college, I hope to go into the aerospace field and deal with things like planes, space shuttles and helicopters. At this point people, may not see the ridiculous amount of calculus I will use in the future, but in fact I will be using it daily. Whether it be calculating the space shuttle…

Another primary function of the space shuttle is to send satellites off to space. Therefore, it’ll require a component to hold the satellite along with the crew. Also, the orbiter will need to handle additional payload. If this function fails, the space shuttle would not be able to take flight or safely fly up to space with the satellite. Furthermore, there should be an additional thrust to help the orbiter to escape the gravitational pull. the space shuttle should be reusable (Dunbar).…
