Jayden Hubbell Social studies 4th hour 1/23/17 N.A.S.A In the 1950’s Aamerica was starting to change. Many things were created and renovated. Because of the Cold War, the Soviets and the Americans were competing for many things, this arose the space race. NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It was created on October 1, 1958 (Launching NASA). On October 4, 1957 the soviet union sent out an artificial satellite called Sputnik and because of this, the US saw it fit…

SUMMARY We found the number of rocket launches from Mahia Peninsula needed to establish a lunar colony to be 28. This is after considering the success rate of our chosen rocket model with the amount of rockets needed to bring all the people and equipment to establish a lunar colony. INTRODUCTION How many rocket launches from Mahia Peninsula would it take to establish a lunar colony? Astronomy, from Greek for the ‘law of the stars’ is arguably the first human science. Since the dawn of time,…

“And I throbbed with a burning desire to travel this immensity,” wrote Georgia Douglas Johnson in her poem, “Your World.” Humans have a desire to explore the unknown and advance their knowledge of the world around them. There are also other reasons space exploration is crucial. Space exploration helps create technology that will benefit people. Space exploration helps America stay a leader in space exploration. Primarily, space exploration helps make technology that is beneficial for people.…

Patriot’s Pen After all of the years that America has been around, each year has benefited America in some way whether it be the businesses, the population, or even mistakes helping our growth. America has given my generation(young teens)a lot, like for example, amazing technology to use for education, jobs, entertainment, and 40 to 50 years ago we used something like the first model computers to launch a rocket to the moon! Back then just getting to circle the Earth once was a huge…

Old Man's War Term Paper The civilization in Old Man's War is similar to other civilization in history. One difference between the civilization depicted in Old Man's War and any other civilization in history is the futuristic setting and the futuristic technology. Like any other civilization in history there is a fight to survive. In Old Man's War the CDF fights to protect the colonist. There is a fight so that the human raise can survive out in space and thrive out in the vastness of space. In…

The 1900’s was humanity's first step towards a more advanced push towards space exploration. A space race, fueled by the cold war in the mid 1900’s, could not have been made possible without the core principles founded by Isaac Newton. Newton’s work makes it possible for humanity to explore further and beyond their own world. Space exploration is made possible because of the work of Newton. Newton’s discovery of gravity and its laws and published work has enabled humanity to venture deeper into…

Humans have always looked at the heavens and wondered about the nature of the objects seen in the night sky. With the development of rockets and the advances in electronics and other technologies in the 20th century, it became possible to send machines and animals and then people above Earth’s atmosphere into outer space. Well before technology made these achievements possible, however, space exploration had already captured the minds of many people, not only aircraft pilots and scientists but…

Mars, a beautiful planet far away from Earth. People on Earth are planning to live on it, to explore new things and find ways to survive, but is it really worth it? Going to Mars is bongers and unsafe. It is dangerous and most unlikely that people will not live on Mars until few hundred years later. By then we might have already come to extinction. The colonist have made some progress but did they make enough for the years to come? I mean the colonist already found froze toxic water but they…

In April of 1959 Leroy Gordon Cooper Jr. was selected to be one of the seven original astronauts in Project Mercury (NASA). According to the NASA website, the astronauts immediately began training for their mission at Langley (NASA). Their training “included a "little of everything" ranging from a graduate-level course in introductory space science to simulator training and scuba-diving” (NASA). While all the astronauts were given different jobs, Cooper’s was to deal with the Redstone rocket,…

A six-member crew of astronauts, under the leadership of Commander Melissa Lewis, decide to suddenly abort their assignment on Mars after they learn of an imminent storm. In the process of exiting the red planet, Mark Watney, one of the crew members, gets hit and disappears from his colleagues. An attempt to search for him by Commander Lewis proofs futile. The crew thinks Watney is dead and proceeds to leave Mars. As the head of the crew, Commander Lewis notifies Teddy Sanders, the NASA director…
