Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster

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 hundred years ago during the rebellion a class three vessel, The Revolution, went missing in an uncharted star cluster. A month later they sent a team to find the vessel but instead they found a planet that was able to sustain life and was rich with rare elements that was crucial to winning the war. A colony was placed there to strip the planet bare of these elements. The war was won years later, and the people of the colony were forgotten on a planet dying after years of pollution. And…

Try not to float away! Space is pretty big, 435,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 KM or 46 billion light years away to be exact. Who knows what is out there. It also has zero gravity so you probably would not be stable at all. Who knows what can happen. Why does this matter? Because space should not privatized. It should not be privatized because multiple lives have been lost while on space missions, it should not be ran by undercover organization that no one knows and last space should not be used…

conditions of space. From a great decrease in gravity, to almost no air in the atmosphere, to even the near absolute zero temperatures, space requires great attention in understanding and adapting. Unfortunately, there have been many accidents pertaining to space shuttles throughout NASA’s…

the Government failed to rescue the hostages. The hostages did not get released until 270 days after the U.S.Government had left. On June 18, 1983, Sally Ride became known as the first woman to launch into space. One year later, Sally decided to focus more on her training instead of going into space. The next challenger mission that was…

Changes in the company may be hindered by complacency and conformity which can be detrimental to success and in some cases, it can be fatal. The space shuttle Columbia disaster on 2003 may have been caused by complacent leaders who are driven by objectives and disregarded safety. Complacency and conformity are the main factors of the Columbia shuttle disaster. Management was complacent with current processes as evidence of poor leadership, communication, and initiative to change. Complacency…

STS-51-L was a shuttle by NASA that exploded 73 seconds after lift off and killed 7 American astronauts. It takes NASA 1.5 billion dollars to launch a rocket. Therefore, in 73 seconds NASA wasted 1.5 billion dollars and cost us 7 precious lives. Between the years of 1964 and 1999 there have been twenty launches. Within those twenty launches six were failed missions, which in turn lost the U.S $9 Billion. NASA in the future would like to spend about 500 million dollars on each shuttle they…

disasters when it comes to the space program. In the past, two space shuttles fell victim to politics which ended in tragedy. According to Bolman and Deal (2008), they reported that the U.S. space shuttle Columbia was descending to earth from space when astronauts begin receive numerous emergency signals from the instrument panel of the spacecraft. Sadly, all on board died in the disastrous explosion (Bolman & Deal, 2008). Many years earlier, the space shuttle Challenger experienced the…

President Ronald Reagan was the speaker. He was the 40th president and head of the NASA space program. He was born in 1911 and died in 2004. He was also an actor in a large category of movies. When the shuttle …

Charles Tucker died on September 1st, 2154. It came as a shock to everyone aboard Enterprise, especially after surviving so many incidents with the Xindi and the other dangers of the Expanse. In the early days of space travel, and even in the early days of the mission, a mechanical accident was considered a real and present danger and a risk the crew would have to take, but after what they had all seen, the idea that a simple equipment malfunction could cause such a talented engineer to lose his…
