SpaceX—The Future of Space Travel In the beginning there was NASA. Now that the government is trimming their budgets, private corporations are entering the space race. The leader in the private sector is Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX). This corporation started doing business in 2002 and have come a long way in the industry with the help and direction from CEO. Elon Musk (Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, 2015). What makes this company unique is that they buy…

Remember men your mission depends on our future technology, future of space travel in our solar system. The four soon to be hero's walk out and down the runway to the shuttle's launch pad there over 400 feet in the air the shuttle stands enough food, water, and oxygen to supply for a month. An anxious crowd stood to watch as the four heroes stood on top of the launch pad. ¨Here we stand in front of our four heroes that will save our program, Garth, Seymour, Jeff, Gerald.¨ All of the four…

Seashore south to Vero Beach, Florida’s Space Coast is sometimes characterized as a multigenerational destination, with incredible diversity from North to South. This diversity is evident through Space Coast’s designated towns: Cocoa Beach, Palm Bay, Melbourne, Port Canaveral, Melbourne Beaches, Titusville, and Viera. Its identity is drawn from the Kennedy Space Center, which was the public face of a NASA space program that concluded with the landing of the shuttle Atlantis in July of 2011. The…

employees, this is a large problem that needs to be fixed. I have in my experience with the company faced problems that many others have faced. like being left without clear goals or objectives to complete, unable to access programs to do work, and not being shown how to use programs or find files and other information to do work. This all creates a significant issue for the output of work, success, and development of each new employee. In fact, speaking with…

States how behind they were. After this, Sputnik 2 is launched containing a dog in it to see if a living organism can survive in space. Two months later the United States finally makes it a competition. They send Explorer 1, a satellite into orbit on January 31. They send three straight things into space, the Explorer 1 and 2 and the Vanguard satellite. The space race is dominated by the USSR until the 1960’s, and then John F. Kennedy is elected president. On May 25, 1961 Kennedy makes his…

defeating America in the space race. "When you divorce it from the numbers and you ask people if they like NASA and spaceflight, people say yes, ... 75 to 80 percent are in favor." However, this was only the case in some circumstances. Not all Americans - and usually not even half of Americans - felt that the moonshot was worth the money being put in: "public opinion in favor of continuing human lunar exploration almost never rose above 50 percent during NASA's Apollo program." Despite these…

history of the US space program (starting in the late 1950s). Identify key points at which women were considered for inclusion in the astronaut program and were they were actually included. Also identify other roles women played in the space program. The United States space program actually began in Russia, with the launch Sputnik during the height of the Cold War. The idea of the USSR being close to launching nukes and people into orbit around Earth shocked the nation into the Space Race.…

launching of the Soviet Union’s Sputnik satellite on October 4, 1957 unofficially launched the space race, a battle of scientific might against the United States and the Soviet Union, and a continuation of the struggle of power between the two superpowers. Both nations would go on to fight a close battle to show the world which nation had the greatest technological ability, and the fight was close too. The space race would come to its climax on July 20, 1969, when the pilots of Apollo 11 landed…

NASA and the space program collectively represent American strength and scientific achievement. A little over half a century ago, we as Americans decided to venture into space for ourselves. NASA, however, didn’t always paint a picturesque image inclusion. For years, their “qualifications” were designed to bar women from joining the program as astronauts. However, this did not stop women, they continued to work behind the scenes and fought for the chance to be included at the forefront of these…

By drawing on this idea of using familiar forms with cutting-edge function, the modern space program could much more effectively market new missions like colonizing Mars. My conceptualization of a retro-themed infographic highlighting the benefits of going to Mars is one such example of how this can be achieved. The content draws strongly on the rhetoric of former NASA administrator Charles Bolden’s speech “Mars Matters” in which he offers tangible reasons why a Mars mission is beneficial to…
