The agency that was spawned from these motivations was non-other than NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Agency). Many would argue that this bureau was developed in direct correlation to the Soviet’s launch of the world’s first artificial satellite…

Abe Silverstein who is the Director of Space Flight Development, proposed the name "Apollo" the reason was actually “Apollo” is the name of a god in ancient Greek mythology with attractive connotations and actually in order to naming spaceflight projects with mythological gods and heroes had been start with Mercury.

Three minutes later, fuel cells one and three failed. Over the next 130 minutes, the second oxygen tank, damaged by the blast, spewed its precious cargo out into the void. With all oxygen depleted, the last fuel cell flickered out. The crew of spaceflight Apollo 13 was left stranded with no power, no oxygen, and no way to return--205,000 miles from home. Immediately, Houston sprang into a frenzy of action. It was clear that entirely new solutions needed to be rapidly found, tested, and executed…

Why is it worth to continue exploring space In this essay, I am going to teach you why is it worth to explore the space. There are many reasons why it is worth to explore space and travel there. Space exploring is good because, we can learn why is the place where we live is like this and we can use it for our own advantages. Even though it is worth to explore and study space, there are also good reasons why not to explore space. Here, I will give 3 examples of them. First, 20 people have…

them to ponder on what the taxpayers want from this purpose. Why should we dissipate the money on a program that could bring horrible death to someone? I am conducting the logos and some pathos by stating that thirteen Americans have died from spaceflight missions. The first tragedy was from the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster that occurred on January 28, 1986, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members when it broke apart 73 seconds after takeoff.…

The Gemini Program was an early NASA human spaceflight program that helped NASA get ready for the Apollo moon landings.

They flew between the Mercury and Apollo programs. All together there are 12 Gemini missions between April of 1965 and November of 1966. The Gemini program was managed by the Manned Spacecraft…
