Title 11

The goal of this project was to build a rocket with three fins, that can launch 100 M into the air and fall down to the earth without the egg breaking. It had to be done by November 2. Some constraints that we had to follow that limited our design was that we could only use recyclable materials, and we couldn’t use heavy materials such as metal or wood. We also didn’t have any instructions to follow, every idea came from our brains or the internet. My group decided on a design based on the…

NASA Space Shuttle is the first reusable space shuttle in the world and used to deliver astronauts and cargos into space and return to the Earth. The success of the space shuttle getting through the catastrophic forces when travelling into space and back again in serviceable form was credited to the ingenious engineers. First, the rocket engineers faced the problem that without any protection, the engines would self-destruct under extreme temperatures when travelling huge distances. In fact, at…

The photographs provided by NASA of the Apollo-11 landing shows many different and perhaps unusual concepts. One of these which conspiracy theorists argue is that the shadows created by various objects in the photo (astronauts and rocks) fail to be parallel. This leads to the argument that there must…

People are not always responsible for what happens to them. Andy Weir’s award-winning book The Martian states “Then one of those long thin antennae slammed into me end first. It tore through my suit like a bullet through butter and I felt the worst pain of my life as it ripped open my side… The last thing I remember was seeing Johanssen hopelessly reaching out toward me.” (p. 5) Mark Watney had no control over whether or not the antenna would hit him. The colossal dust storm that attacked the…

had a deep understanding for projectile motion, the path of an object curving in the air. Her calculations made the Shepard 1961 mission a success and John Glenn was able to circle the Earth unharmed. One of Johnson's greatest successes was the Apollo 11, which was able to travel to the moon and back. She was awarded with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in…

Did you know that Yuri Gagarin, the first man to enter space, died at the age of 34 in a plane crash in 1968? Gagarin was an astronaut of the Soviet Union, also known as the USSR. In April of 1961, aboard the Vostok 1, Gagarin earned his place in the history books by being the first man to enter space. However, a few years before this in August of 1957, history is was also made when the USSR successfully developed a sufficient space launch vehicle in the form of the R7 Semyorka. Thus, the space…

What is leadership? The definition used in the english dictionary is the position or function of a leader, a person who guides or directs a group. When having the quality of leadership, you are capable of anything you set your mind to. There are so many good examples of people who have the trait of leadership. People often like to look up to leaders because they usually know what they are doing, and if they do not, they act like it so the group does not lose hope in the leader and project they…

We have ventured to the moon, but now is it the time to take on another challenging space exploration and journey to Mars? One of the most proud accomplishments for NASA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was leading America to the moon in the summer of 1969, "That’s one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind." Mars seems like the next perfect destination, to have another achievement like that fateful day, but is it the best idea? Similar to Earth, Mars is an intriguing…

There are a lot of alien and UFO footage on YouTube. So it is always good to see a scary rocket that may be heading for Mars one day. New footage of a SpaceX rocket cruising down Main Street America may be intimidating to some YouTube viewers. Simply because it is footage of a real rocket that will go to space. And not a bizarre flying saucer that is blowing up volcanoes with laser beams. The footage of the SpaceX rocket was posted by USLaunchReport. There YouTube channel has a little more than…
