Space Shuttle Discovery

required for the spacecraft. This disaster is a significant warning as to why accuracy is very important in Mechanical engineering. Background The launch of the Challenger Space-Shuttle was postponed numerous times due to unfavourably low temperatures and mechanical errors. On Tuesday, January 28th, 1986 at 11:38 am the space shuttle was launched. It wasn’t long after take-off that the devastating event of the day began. Summary 0.06 milliseconds after lift-off, darkish-grey puffs of smoke…

involved in this terrible disaster. He also creates a positive opinion towards the United States Space Program. He continues to honor the astronauts and tries to help everyone move forward from this terrible disaster. Through Reagan’s use of tone, rhetorical appeal, and rhetorical tools, he effectively helps the families of The Seven and the rest of the United States to mourn while promoting the space program, and making…

Space programs employ perhaps some of the smartest people that have ever lived. The application of physics, calculus, chemistry, biology and other sciences make this a very complicated subject. There are many companies which have some involvement with space. NASA, the most well-known, is a government run and funded operation. It has been the most successful in its 50+ years of existence. SpaceX is the most popular space company right now. NASA doesn’t launch any piloted missions currently, it…

One can argue that whenever an astronaut goes into space, they are subject to the unknown risks that space holds; like the Challenger accident made evident, space flight is not a routine practice. That theory could not be comparable to an astronaut embarking into space with the full knowledge of a pre-existing and very real mechanical issue that could be potentially fatal to the entire crew. In the case of the…

is nature of discovery, it involves journeys that are transformative and concerns one’s relationship with one’s self or indeed the world around them. Discoveries can be either sought or serendipitous but ultimately they are concerned with the acquisition of a broadened understanding, the development of values and changing of perspectives. Director Tom Hooper’s ’The King’s Speech’ explores the transformative nature of discovery arising due to necessity resulting in emotional discoveries.…

Discovery can encompass the many experiences of discovering something for the first time or rediscovering something that has been lost, forgotten or concealed. These discoveries can change an individual’s perspective of human nature and the wider world. The theme of discovery is projected throughout the play, ‘The Tempest’ (1610), by William Shakespeare and the novel, ‘The Perks of being a Wallflower’ (1999), by Stephen Chbosky. The Tempest, written in the Jacobean era and reflecting aspects and…

Rumored to bring seven years of bad luck upon breaking, a mirror allows the reflection of oneself to be seen. In folklore, mirrors are believed to also show the soul of the person standing before it. Toni Morrison’s novel Song of Solomon illustrates this idea in an interesting way: feeling incohesive before a mirror represents a lack of identity. The protagonist, Milkman, gives himself an identity by taking a journey to find his past and becomes a cohesive individual. Milkman’s contemplation of…

play of this class, analyzed the play and with same introspection develop questions. Brought up questions on philosophy versus love, or question about the connection between love and discovery. But, a constant thought that keeps coming through my mind with the idea of the concept of the effect of society on discovery. Then I considered that maybe because Emilia was a woman and outside of the norm of science, she comes up with her ideas. That's by teaching herself and not being as entrench in…

The unique context of an individual is what defines their process of discovery and in so doing, shapes their perspectives on interpersonal relationships, personal identity and existential outlook. These ideas are exemplified in both Robert Gray’s poems, Diptych and The Meatworks, and Matthew Thorne’s short film, Where Do Lilacs Come From. We see in these texts that discovery can only take place when our context challenges us, whether it is a change in context or the confronting nature of…
