shortcoming of the Cold War, the goal of the 1960’s was “to go above and beyond” in space exploration by successfully landing a man on the moon, which would serve as a gambit to conceivably lead the United States to victory. Before astronauts ventured beyond the earth, scientists had to assess the space environment and the hazards of human exploration. Soon after President John F. Kennedy assumed office in January of 1961, the space race was undoubtedly underway, and the United State’s primary…

(Kennedy qtd in Space Race). On July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin landed on the moon. (Race to the Moon). The accomplishments of landing on the moon, building bomb shelters, and passing education acts all contributed to the idea that America, as a whole, reacted in many different ways. Fear, excitement, happiness, and relief all shined through the dark smoky clouds of the space race. Although the Soviet Union continually surpassed the U.S. in the early stages of the space race,…

When people hear a song images pop into their heads. Music plays a key role in the sense of place. The articles Place or Space and Sacred Spaces and Tourist Places, the way images are presented, and the things I learned all contributed to our project in the way music corresponds to geographic sense of place. In the article Place or Space by Mike Crang, Mike writes, “Spaces become places as they become ‘time thickened’. They have a past and future that binds people together around them.” This…

Space Exploration Space is the ongoing discovery and exploration of celestial structures in outer space by means of continuously evolving and growing technology. While the study of space is carried out mainly by astronomers with telescopes, the physical exploration of space is conducted both by unmanned robotic probes and human spaceflight. As Astronomers go further in space, finding essential knowledge of space, acquiring ways to survive the outskirts of the intergalactic space and also…

On October 4th, 1957 the Soviet satellite Sputnik launched the age of space exploration. The Soviet Union was racing against the United States to seek advancements in their technology and be able to claim the victory title.
