Situated approximately 35 miles east of Orlando and with over 75 miles of beach along Florida’s Atlantic Coast, which stretches from Canaveral National Seashore south to Vero Beach, Florida’s Space Coast is sometimes characterized as a multigenerational destination, with incredible diversity from North to South. This diversity is evident through Space Coast’s designated towns: Cocoa Beach, Palm Bay, Melbourne, Port Canaveral, Melbourne Beaches, Titusville, and Viera. Its identity is drawn from…

Space Exploration & Why We Should Fund It Space exploration is a really expensive endeavor to the common civilian, it costs billions to operate a mission to space, billions to build the shuttles to get up there. The U.S.A space program NASA has seen less funding each year since 1966 where it peaked at 4.5% of the federal budget down to 1% in 1975 and it still loses funding each year even today! How is NASA staying afloat and it is effecting how long it will take us to achieve reasonable and…

Part C- Written Summary Humanity's infatuation with space is one which extends to the beginnings of time. It is a tangible desire of human beings to discover the unknown and to address the questions about our universe. Society is amidst the era of space exploration as humanity challenges itself to move further into our solar system (NASA, 2013). Increased space voyages require increased launching procedures, a fuel-consuming process which is considerably uneconomical and impractical. Can…

Space Programs to Venus My science fiction assignment will be about humans preparing to travel to Venus. In this paper, I wall talk about the Soviet Venera 9 mission. My science fiction paper will consist of ways for probes to survive on Venus long enough to work and restore Venus to what it is believed it was: an Earth-like planet. It will talk about the silicon carbide transistors which can withstand the extreme heat, nuclear batteries that can work on Venus as an alternative to solar and…

Colonizing Venus Instead of Mars Throughout the years, the space community has pushed the boundaries of what we, as humans, can and cannot do. With infinite possibilities within our continually expanding universe, it was only about time that space colonization would jump out of sci-fi novels and into our reality. As overpopulation and the increasing risk that a disaster, natural or man-made, may destroy the earth weighs heavy on the shoulder's of the human race, it is also time to take space…

A NASA shuttle orbiting Jupiter has hit another tangle. The space office said Wednesday that Juno identified an issue, went into protected mode and close off its cameras and instruments hours before it should disregard Jupiter's thick cloud tops. Juno rebooted its installed PC and can speak with Earth, yet its exercises are restricted until designers analyze what turned out badly. "It's too soon to take a figure," however the issue isn't brought on by the exceptional radiation belts…

NASA administrators were being pulled in many directions and there were scheduling pressure from Congress, the White House, U.S government, the American public, government agencies and aerospace industry were all demanding actions on launching. The operating budget cuts also played a major part because of the “reforms for promoting flight safety in NASA’s management structure had been implemented. Also, the emphasis concerning technical oversight of the shuttle program was restricted. Meanwhile,…

Works of art such as paintings, books, and even music continue to inspire countless amounts of people, but the art that speaks to me most are the images taken of the universe surrounding us. The Hubble Space Telescope’s Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) images are the quintessential example of what drives me to achieve greatness in life. Not only have they shaped me to be the person I am today, but they’ve given me a better understanding of the honors program at NAU and my education as a whole. For…

We have spent a lot of time on studying and invested a lot of money. However we have sadly been wasting a bunch of money on the space program (NASA).Although there are a few pros to investing in NASA there are a whole lot more cons that take over those pros. In the human society the average salary for the average human in the U.S. is about 50,000 dollars, now with that being said the government really believes in the space program the out of the average salary they have decided to withdraw…

A long time ago in the ancient times, a group of people noticed a star that behaved quite differently then the others. This star followed the sun as it rose and set each day. Later on ancient Greeks and other civilizations recognized that the thing they thought was a star was actually a planet. This planet moved more quickly than all the others.Eventually, In the early 1600s, Mercury was discovered but unfortunately no one knows who discovered the planet but we do know what group of people…
