I don’t want you to catch a cold,” Mickey yelled from inside the clubhouse. “Well I’ll be darned. Would you look at that.” Mickey peared out of is window to see an alien spacecraft above Goofy out in the field. Mickey panicked and rushed out to the field to get Goofy. Mickey, out of breath, reached Goofy. “Who are they,” Mickey cried. “I have an idea. They’re an extraterrestrial group. They are Marvins.” Goofy and Mickey…

one of the main aspects in this story. For example, Cameron Keady, the author of this story, said, “ On November 12, a small probe helped scientists take a big step forward in space exploration. The probe, called the Philae lander, is the first spacecraft to set down on a comet. It will take photos and dig up samples…

Margaret was easily the coolest person I’d ever met, and I’d only known her for about ten minutes. She was a NASA intern at the Ames facility, and was fielding all my questions about her field, nanotechnology. As part of the Idaho Science and Aerospace Scholars (ISAS) program, me and forty-two other rising high school seniors had completed a semester-long online class during the school year, and were now participating in a week-long Summer Academy. Talking with scientists, engineers, and interns…

NASA has recently started to hire astronauts for their next space mission, “Mars 2030”. Is it wise to invest money and resources into deep space exploration? According to an online poll on debate.org, seventy-six percent Americans think that the government should invest in the new Mars exploration. With such a high positive response, there is greater optimism about the space race. We know that space flight is both expensive and risky. From an economical perspective, it is always beneficial to…

the moon’s Fra Mauro highlands on April 11, 1970, they had no idea they would soon be fighting for their lives. Astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise ran into trouble after just over two days in space when an explosion damaged their spacecraft (“Apollo 13”). What started out as an expedition to collect lunar rocks, then turned into a race against the clock. The unexpected explosion triggered an urgent response from mission control, back on Earth. Suddenly, it was up to them to work…

A comparison and contrast of the violence in the two Superman stories Violence in motion pictures has for quite some time been blamed for mass shootings and rising brutality in the society. Studies have shown that we're watching more screen violence than any other time in recent history, this has probably led into more violence in our communities. In the middle of the twentieth century, the recurrence of violence in film rose at the same pace as crime rates in the U.S. leading people to…

In the 1960s, Ranger, Surveyor and Lunar Orbiter spacecraft collected data on the Moon by orbiting, landing on, and crashing into our nearest celestial neighbor. During these programs, thirteen robotic spacecraft transmitted detailed images of the Moon, probed the strength and composition of the lunar surface, and searched for landing sites for the first human explorers. These missions…

Cernan was skeptical. This substance shouldn't be on the moon. Could the glass on a light from the spacecraft have broken? Cernan looked more closely. Schmitt was right. He had, in fact, discovered orange regolith, or moon soil. The regolith turned out to be small pieces of orange glass, likely from a lunar volcano. Before his final spacewalk was over,…

Denis Bogan. At JPL, Robert T. Mitchell is program manager, Dr. Dennis Matson is Cassini project scientist and Dr. Linda Spilker is deputy project scientist. In the United States, 33 out of the 50 states were involved in working for the Cassini Spacecraft and in total there were more than 5,000 people that worked on both the Cassini and Huygens in the…

Introduction In order to develop a sustainable space settlement, the first step is to maintain the survival of its inhabitants, humans. The survival of human beings and our societies is dependent on a lot of factors, but perhaps the most important need for it has to be food. Human beings need energy to survive and food provides us with nutrients that help our bodies be healthy and active. These nutrients are also what give us the energy we need to perform in our daily lives or fuel our bodies.…
