The Abstract:- Neil Alden Armstrong was an American astronaut who was the first astronaut to land on the moon and was also the first person to walk on the moon. Many people nowadays support the idea that Neil Alden Armstrong did not really land on the moon and walk on it, they think that it was not a real act, they think it was staged. These people think that he did not land on the moon because they think that back then, they did not have the modern technology that we have now. Some people…

Zero World By Jason M Hough has a lot to offer in the realm of science fiction. The book starts out in a spacecraft with the main character Peter Caswell in space knowing nothing about what he’s signed up for. He’s a for-hire killer, except with one caveat -- his memory is wiped after each mission. This time though, Peter experiences a mission like no other, one of time travel to an alternate world that matches Earth in almost every way. Though almost every aspect of this book is well crafted,…

Central Connecticut State University may not be the most prestigious college in the world, but it doesn’t matter what the name of the school is, it matters what you do with your education. I attended Central Connecticut State University out of high school. This university had a good engineering program and was very affordable for my family. Money was never an issue with my family, I have just always been very cost efficient. After attending that university and several after to receive my PhD, I…

John Glenn was one of the first American astronauts, and also the first American, to orbit the big Earth.

Everyone that John Glenn approached or was approached by was treated with respect. John Glenn worked hard and did everything that he could do to help the space program. I think of John Glenn as the glue that kept the whole team of…

Cold Cases Project The mystery of the Chicago fire is an interesting one but there are many missing pieces of the mystery, such as how the fire was started. The fire first was started around nine P.M in a barn on the O’Leary’s farm in the barn. There are many speculations such as the O’Leary’s cow kicked over a lamp or a lot of drunken men were messing around and gambling near fire in or near the barn. But one thing is for sure its effects were disastrous. The city was mostly made of wood so…

the smells and taste are absolutely disgusting. The title, "Scavengers" flew over my head even after the opening summary that states that the main characters of the film were left stranded on a strange planet after communication from VESTA-1 (a spacecraft) was lost. As the animation takes place we learned that the VESTA-1 was destroyed except for a few small pods that have landed on another planet. This planet is similar to Earth in the sense that there are organisms, liquids, and air. At…

little action figures for the children, and even before its launch was the release of a game titled “spacewar!”. The economy had been boosted because of the need for these parts of toys, and even greater because of the need for the parts of the spacecraft itself. In fact, the entire span of the 1960s had been just one huge, uninterrupted boost. Another huge effect in the 1960s was the cold war. The cold war wasn't a war perse’ but it was a time of great stress and fear with Russia. With that…
