Ever since the beginning of our species, humans have been constantly moving from one land to another. The article, “Could Humans Actually Live on Mars,” raises the question about if we should be exploring other planets, specifically Mars. I personally believe that humans should be exploring other planets for a multitude of reasons such as we need to have some place to go after life on Earth becomes impossible and that health effects caused by space (i.e. skin cancer from solar flares or…

Should humans really risk colonizing Mars? With all of the potential benefits of colonizing Mars, there are lots of challenges. Colonizing Mars is a horrible idea because there is no available food , gravity is very different and has the worst sandstorms in the solar system. There is no available food to eat.The humans that go there will have to eat freeze dried foods along with dehydrated fruits and vegetables. Freeze dried cheese and powdered spices will also be part of what people eat, along…

“And the Nobel Peace Prize of 2017 goes to… James Turtle for bringing back the for cancer and putting his very life on the line to save our existence, while furiously flirting with danger.” Respectfully staying humble James responded, “No thank you, I do not want the award, all I wanted to do was save humanity.” “Do you choose to accept this mission?” “Yes, yes sir I do.” “Here is your mission James Turtle: It seems scientists have found that the moon rocks have possessed a cure for cancer. You…

No, the Space shuttle Columbia could not have made the necessary orbital maneuvers to dock with the ISS for safety. The shuttle Columbia launched to an orbital inclination of 39 degrees. (Gebhardt 2013) The International Space Station however is at an inclination of 51.6 degrees, a 12.6 degrees difference.(Cooney n.d.) After launch, the shuttle does not have enough fuel on board to be able to make an inclination change of this magnitude. Because of the extra weight shuttles are not loaded…

Are the Aliens Avoiding Our Planet? In 1950, the physicist Enrico Fermi asked a crucial question during one lunch at the National Laboratory of Los Angeles. According to the number of galaxies, planets and starts that we know, it is very probable that extraterrestrial life exists. So, where is it? This question, known as the Fermi’s paradox, is very logical when the size of our universe is taken into consideration. Even though there are many hypothesis trying to find the answer of this…

Imagine a future where more planets become habitable. Many people would take that chance and succeed a dream of being a part of a new civilization. But on the other hand, many people prefer to keep their feet on the ground with the help of Earth’s gravity. But is it worth the risk? Our reasons of staying on our home planet is the chance of no return from the planet Mars, the price to journey a one way trip, and the tight spaces with people you don’t know. But there are good things about the trip…

Why would you buy land if it costs 36 billion dollars to do it in the first place? It’s absolutely stupid. However, if they make going to Mars a regular thing, they will put the price down to half a million dollars. Which is also stupid. Even so, 500,000 thousand dollars is already a huge amount of money, so why go through all the trouble? You might as well spend your money on something more sensible. Only wealthy people may misuse that much money on something as useless as that… Land in space…

Well this has to be definitely the easiest question considering the location where we live. I personally play ice hockey with many people who work out at the space center for a variety of organizations to include SpaceX, United Space Alliance, and NASA. In fact, NASA is in the process of developing a charity team to play my law enforcement team. With SpaceX, Elon Musk plans on landing a Dragon capsule on Mars by 2018. He also is strongly working on civilian travel to space for transport…

It’s a blast! We have recently just opened up a new ride in Hersheypark entitled “The Star Wars Coaster”. It’s an ongoing water slide that has many unique properties. Such as increased momentum from time to time which increases your acceleration throughout the ride. Imagine going through the galaxy and experiencing spacecraft, while in orbit you there are multiple space spots which gives your space pod a surge in speed. You are the pilot of your escape pod. You have recently just escaped…

Humanity has progressed vastly during the course of time, from the ancient Roman Empire, to the Middle Ages, to the Renaissance, humanity has progressed both socially and intellectually. Humanity went from staking religiously ‘inferior’ women, to executing tyrannical monarchs, to creating masterful works of art; both musically and symbolically. Humanity was finally able to discover that the sun was the center of the universe; to sending a man to the moon. Despite all this progress and…
