Vision for Space Exploration

his implications about the society in 1969. First, to establish ethos, Herblock shows his shared values with the audience, which is the safety of the astronauts and the exploration of space. In the illustration, there is a man on the Moon eagerly watching a television, and the Moon resembles a space helmet looking deep into space (Block 40). To…

Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Fellow astronauts, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Lt. Col. Michael Collins, accompanied Armstrong. In 1961, during the Cold War, President John F. Kennedy addressed Congress to share his vision of space exploration for the United States. At that point the Soviet Union had outperformed U.S. in this category. One Small Step for Man Kind 1 billion people watched from 251,000 miles away as Armstrong said “That’s one small step for man, one giant…

are seeing the book close on five decades of accomplishments as the leader in human space exploration.” This will be the gloomy outcome if we let the government stop funding space exploration. We should have our Space Exploration program because it furthers our knowledge of the universe, results in new technologies, provides American jobs, and evokes curiosity in everyday people. We should continue to explore space because in doing so, we are discovering new, exciting things and furthering our…

between America and the Soviet Union, huge advancements in outer space technology were made, including the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. In 1958, the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, put America ahead in the space race against the Soviet Union, and set a worldwide standard for space exploration. The Cold War consisted of many smaller competitions for dominance between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. The space race, however, was perhaps one of the most prominent…

like real possibility. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is taking the helm of one of the most significant human endeavors to explore Mars. Unlike the previous programs, Manned Mission to Mars is a one-way ticket. Scientific and technological challenges facing the mission to Mars have been identified as a result of strenuous scientific studies, including Architectural studies, external evaluations and trips to the International Space Station to simulate the mission to Mars.…

With Elon Musk’s vision for the future and SpaceX set to achieve great heights in space, anything is possible. But does that include sending out a rocket every two to three weeks? SpaceX wants to launch a rocket every two to three weeks despite last year’s launch pad explosion. With high confidence, SpaceX is looking at a tight operational schedule and aims to pick up the pace of its Falcon 9 launches. With a two to three week schedule, SpaceX would need to rely on a new launch pad at NASA’s…

United States to the lunar mission of getting a man on the moon by 1970. Even though President Kennedy was assassinated and did not get to witness the event, the mission of the Apollo 11 attained his dream. The Saturn V spacecraft took off from Kennedy Space Center on July 16, 1969, with the three man team of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin "Buzz" E. Aldrin Jr. The mission had one main goal, which was to perform a crewed lunar landing and return to Earth. On July 20, 1969, Neil…

Sitting with my fellow graduates at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center’s Space Camp, I listened intently as Astronaut Story Musgrave spoke briefly about his phenomenal life. Musgrave never graduated from high school, instead he left his family’s dairy farm in Massachusetts to serve his country by joining the United States Marines. Serving as an aircraft electrician, engine mechanic, pilot, and parachutist, he excelled during his tour in Korea. For thirty years, he worked as an astronaut for NASA…

Commercialized Space Exploration: The Dawn of a New Era July 21, 2011, the Space Shuttle Atlantis entered Earth’s atmosphere, beginning its final approach preparations from its last and final mission of the space shuttle program, STS135. 30 years of service shuttling supplies to the ISS, conducting scientific missions and experiments, servicing equipment amongst a myriad of other tasks (most of which installed awe and dreams of possibilities in the programs participants and millions around…

Why is space exploration important One year ago NASA made there own twin experiment. Scott Kelly was sent to the ISS while his identical twin brother stayed on Earth. About 340 days later Scott comes back to Earth, riding inside the snug soyuz coming back with him is Mikhail Korniyenko. While kelly-the-Earthbound wasn 't really doing anything besides collecting blood, urine, and saliva for research, NASA is also been taking samples from his brother. And by comparing the samples they 'll…
