The general idea of this movie is evolution. The apes that appeared in the first act of the movie show this evolution, since the monoliths gave the apes the ability to use bone tools and eat meat. The idea of evolution was also apparent when one of the apes throws a bone into the air. Time flashes forward, and the bone transformed into a spaceship. Evolution was again evident when the team which was dispatched from Clavius touched the monolith, and a radio signal was heard. Finally, evolution…

Apollo 8 is the first manned flight around the moon. The Apollo 8 was launched on December 21, 1968 at 6:31 a.m. from Cape Kennedy. Besides being the first to orbit the moon, NASA had a bigger objective. They wanted to test the equipment, trajectory, and operations. This was being tested to simplify the system and procedures for future launches. Also, Apollo 8 demonstrated translunar injection. Three astronauts were sent up, Frank Borman, James Lovell Jr., and William Andres. Within the 6 days…

Space is an amazing world that many people dream to know all about. The exploration of space all started with the Space Race.

Success is the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. The purpose of Apollo 13 was to land on the moon and return safely. Granted Apollo 13 did not land on the moon due to an oxygen tank exploding, they returned the astronauts home safely, which should be the biggest goal or accomplishment. Apollo 13 was a success after it returned in one piece. A failure is the lack of success. To fully succeed the crew needed to touch down on the moon, and return home. After having technical difficulties,…

“The Cassini discoveries in the first three flybys were so amazing. We changed our focus and added 20 more flybys of Enceladus, including seven through the icy jets” says Linda Spilker, Cassini Project Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Target One; Enceladus’s Plumes; would yield the best scientific results because it has the possibility of habiting life, a mysterious heat source and feeds Saturn’s rings. To begin with, Enceladus’s plumes have tremendous qualities that make them…

Life Support Systems in spacecraft. Life support systems in spacecraft, without them, astronauts won't be able to visit space. All of manned spacecraft have life support systems. In simple terms, life support systems are equipment allowing people to feel as comfortable as on Earth. Earth has an Atmosphere. The Atmosphere is the main shield on Earth. It provides breathable air, and it is responsible for comfortable climates. In space, climates are extreme, and there is a vacuum, an absence of…

The Apollo Space Program was very important to many Americans and NASA because it dealt with sending astronauts into space and exploring the unknown solar system. That is why on April 11th, 1970, NASA launched three astronauts into space. This launch is known as Apollo 13, or the 13th launch out of Earth’s solar system. NASA sent three men, Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert, into space on the Apollo 13 mission. Initially, Lovell, the commander, and Haise, the lunar module pilot, were…

As many people heard, going to Mars and colonize is a new mission everyone is discussing about. Many experts and scientists have looked into the Mars mission; in exploring or colonizing. This mission is still unclear whether they are ready to send manned missions or not. Stephen hawking; theoretical physicist and cosmologist, have said: “ ….we must spread out in space and find a new habitat”[1]. His wording encourages and agrees about colonizing Mars and thinks that the future of the Earth’s…
