Should NASA Fund Asteroid Studies Many people agree that NASA should fund asteroid studies. I believe that the government should put more money into asteroid studies and fund it. We can get resources from the asteroids. We can protect ourselves more and can learn more about the universe by studying them. If NASA gets resources from asteroids, they can stop using Earth materials. First, the resources and money they get can further the reach of getting asteroids. For example, the materials…

There are many space spinoffs that are used in Earth and are now used in space in many ways. These space spinoffs can be used in many ways to help astronauts in space. Some of these space spinoffs can include materials used for braces, bicyclist helmet, fire-resistant clothing, ski goggles and many more. These space spinoffs can economically and socially are important to astronauts in many ways. For example, the materials used in braces can help scientist create materials such as antennas for…

Humans have an indefinite desire to explore the unknown and push their boundaries to discover new frontiers. Space exploration has allowed humans to test the limits of technology and understand the place of our planet in the solar system. However, the exploration of the cosmic world still remains debatable as some believe that the resources spent on space technology could be used to solve existing problems on Earth such as poverty. Conversely, space technology is the catalyst to form other…

projects that played a major contribution in the Space shuttle program. One of the programs that I think contributed the most are the Apollo programs which are also known as project Apollo. It was in fact not the first program to attempt human spaceflight by NASA but the third and accomplished many goals between the 1960’s and 1970’s. There is one Apollo mission though that really catches my eye and makes me believe that this is the mission that made the most contribution, and that is Apollo…

1. Difference between Nasa now and Nasa in the early. Gene Cernan stats about Nasa did not do much things but they took more chances. There are always problems, it does not matter for them, how much they plan, how carefully they were. 2. Gemini VII: Astronauts do not do bathing, not changing underwear, not shaving, sleeping without sheets, and not cutting nails and hair during few weeks. They use not well oral hygiene and use very little tissues or wipers. Also they are always inside a…

In theory, colonizing Mars is a cool concept but until we get the whole living in space thing down, it will be anything but a pleasant experience. If the severe weather, radiation or general lack of oxygen doesn't kill you, humans in space have a whole other threat to worry about. Stress. STRESS IS A UNIVERSAL THREAT TO HUMANS The first humans on Mars will get bragging rights for life, but unfortunately, that life won't last very long. Stress, not laser wielding Maritains, will wreak havoc on…

Roller coasters have become one of American’s favorite amusements. Theme parks are more popular now than ever thanks to the exhilarating, fast-pace, “stomach in your shoes” rides known as roller coasters. For one to understand the fears as well as the thrill, one must first understand that it all comes from physics. Science plays a role in how we experience theme parks. Science creates the thrill in roller coasters, as well as real life experiences. According to the text, "Amusement park…

“Danger! This Mission to Mars Could Bore You to Death!.” by Maggie Koerth-Baker explains the physique consequences a person can experience when embarking into a space expedition. The article presents the reasons behind an experiment that is done to six people living in a secluded area in Hawaii. Such an experiment is done with the purpose of exploring the human behavior when face to extreme boredom. Furthermore, the intention of the experiment is to compare the experience of the six people in…

It was the year 2025. All rocket engines still relied on the same traditional rocket engines for launch; the same technology as the 1960s. A new way to propel rockets was needed to make rockets efficient and affordable. The traditional engines could not carry huge payloads and used a lot of fuel, affecting the environment. All the space tourism companies had to sell tickets for $100,000 or more due to the rising costs of fuel, so only the wealthiest could afford going on a space vacation. One…

We should be looking for extraterrestrial life elsewhere in the universe for. First of all, if we don’t continue searching, we will be wasting all the money and the hard work we have already done. Also, if aliens were to find Earth than they could bring new and better technology. With that technology, we can discover even more than just life in space. In “Top 5 Reasons why Space Exploration is Important for the World” stated that The Apollo missions inspired a whole generation of kids who…
