Why is Apollo 13 a successful failure? The Apollo 13 crew was going to die but they survived and return home.

In John F. Kennedy’s “We Choose to go to the Moon”, there are multiple examples of rhetorical devices throughout the speech. These devices include anaphora, metonymy, and parallelism. When Kennedy says, “no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space”, he is used parallelism to emphasize that space is just as dangerous as anything else, but it is our choice to go. Almost everyone supported this risk taking idea, but the way in how he delivered his words was what gained his support…

Reading Response Recently I’ve just completed reading The Martian by Andy Weir after watching the movie. The book illustrates the story of an astronaut and botanist, Mark Watney, on Mars. Overall, the book somehow connects a lot to me. Being stranded on Mars, Watney has to be perseverant and to get through some hardships. However, it is more crucial for him to be adventurous. Watney, the only human being who left on Mars, risking his life for making water from “hydrazine” to maintain…

One disaster could kill us all. In order to ensure that the human race will live on and prosper, Mars needs to be colonized. Mars will be colonized because of the fact that we need a backup because of possible disasters ,the amount of mining for valuable items would help the economy, and the location of mars and the similarities Mars has to Earth. Some peoples views on moving to Mars are not good. One opposing view is that the world is already in debt and by traveling to Mars and building all…

Everyone at some point has dreamed of outer space, and usually at the forefront of those dreams is exploring distant alien planets in advanced starships and making new discoveries that change the way we think about the universe around us. You may think that this is something of a far off dream or pure science fiction but it’s not. Thanks to the discovery of the first exoplanet in 1995 scientists are doing just that every day.. They may not have starships and be zooming around the universe at…

Would if technology never came about in the world? We had people coming up with their own ideas to make products we use every day in our lives. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Just as Robert Goddard and Neil Armstrong show, there is a first for everything, and we need leaders to show us the way through the impossible. Robert Goddard was an engineer who came up with the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket.…

Ever wonder how much Hvac has changed society ? Throughout history to what type of systems hvac has and how hvac can affect society is crazy to think there is so many things that involve hvac. Society lives through Hvac and does not even realize it . The start of Hvac can go all the way to the 1800’s. In those years , ice was being experimented in 1820 as a way to keep cool, then 14 years later Jacob Perkins invented the ice machine ("History Of Air Conditioner"). In 1902 a 25 year old man name…

Is mankind ready to inhabit new planets? This is a question that has been repeatedly asked during the last years. It all begun with the Apollo 11, which was the first step in sending mankind into space. Since then, the possibilities to inhabit another planet had been open. NASA has made missions to Mars, our closest neighbor planet, since not so long ago. Even there are plans to make a human colony on its surface. But, will it be possible? There had been probes on its surface, checking…

The Space Age influence leaked into the very lifestyle in which the people during the 1950s and 1960s were experiencing. Similar to how the Space Age affected the art style of the Jetsons, the same optimism and dreams during this time helped create Googie style architecture within the real world. “Googie made the future accessible to everyone” This Space Age form of building was used in the daily lives of people, stylizing cafes, restaurants, and even gas stations. Some grander examples of…

Mars mission? Bad idea Mars mission is a bad idea because your health and body would be in danger, you would be away many months, and your life would be on the line of death. Your body and health would be a problem on Mars. First, you have to keep your muscles strong or they will deteriorate. For example, you would have to take a jog on the treadmill everyday. Since Mars has such low gravity you will have to find a way to keep your muscles strong. Second, time away from Earth’s gravity harms…
