There is nothing quite like flying a plane. It’s something almost everyone dreams of doing as a little kid, soaring through the sky like our favorite superheroes, but most never get to experience it. When approaching the Mooney 201, one might get a feeling of anticipation while looking at the beautiful shape of the cockpit as it slopes back toward the tail. The tail of a Mooney 201 is unique because it can actually be adjusted on its axis. My family owns a 201, ours is the 1983 model and has a…

There’s probably very little rational basis for an eight-year-old’s decision to set a goal to become a naval aviator, but in the years since I declared this intent, I’ve come to learn that the success of a democratic government requires the active participation and support of its citizens. While the needs of the military and the nature of the threats to the United States have changed significantly since the minutemen first picked up their muskets in defense of the Union, the need for young…

“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” – Neil Armstrong. The Space Race was a competition between the two rivals of the Cold War, the United States of America, and the Soviet Union. The goal was to be the first country to have a man land on the moon. However, for this to happen, there had to be major changes. Specifically, the technology of the time had to be more advanced for both countries to be able to get to the moon. Therefore, the U.S./Soviet Space Race led to amazing…

At seven years old, I was awestruck by the universe on the big movie screen. Star Wars had me hooked; I NEEDED a telescope so I could learn about what lies beyond the sky I see at night. My parents bought the telescope I yearned for and helped me look at the moon on clear nights. Together we watched shuttle launches on television and read about expeditions online. A few years later, they took me to see a shuttle launch at Cape Canaveral. We arrived just before launch because the visitor’s center…

Nations after nations, every day, every year, celebrates its achievements in space exploration. However, it is now the time to question how meaningful these blasts are. This essay aims to explain why it is questionable. First, until all urgent and important matters of the globe have been solved, money bumped on space exploration is meaningless. It is not a common sense at all to invest millions of dollars researching and producing foods for astronauts (for space exploration purpose), while…

Without the newly developed methods and designs to reach space with the Saturn payload, the Apollo program won't be a success. In order to lift the massive payload required to reach the moon, the Saturn V rocket required millions pound of thrust. The First stage comprised of five-engine cluster for the 7.5 million pounds of thrust using liquid oxygen and kerosene fuel. The Second stage had five J-2 engines and the third with one J-2 engine all using hydrogen-oxygen fuel. Without the development…

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…

health. While there she finds out that they were facing extinction. For their kindness she convinced her father, Emperor Grypas, to uplift them. Fifteen Thousand of them were brought from Earth (the Pontikians called it Gaea) to a giant space station in a nebula. The Neanderthals repopulated, and were taught by the Pontikians how to read and write. They were also taught basic farming techniques and basic hygiene practices. The Pontikians also try convert them to their religion but it didn’t…

The Death of Adolf Hitler This controversy is about the death of Adolph Hitler, and how it might have been a fake death. There are a couple of different theories to discover. The possibility that it was Hitler's stand-in that was found dead in the bunker in Germany caused this controversy! So, the people who thought that he faked his death strongly assumed that he went to Barcelona Spain, and then went to South America. Others think he went to Antarctica! The evidence of Hitler faking his death…

The following test is egocentrism. This test was first performed by Jean Piaget in which he placed to scenes on either side of a mountain. You then ask the child what they see on their side of the mountain then ask them to look at the other side. They go back and you ask what is on the other side. I did not have the time or resources to make a mountain so I used my laptop and an iPad. “Their” side had an ocean scene and “my” side had an outer space scene. Luckily, both of my children were able…
