Vision for Space Exploration

begin exploring the cosmos. The transition to a new form of pioneering is taking place, as the Earth has been explored end to end and is now occupied by humans on every corner there is only one place left to go. The limitless vastness and marvel of space is where the inevitable future of humans must take place as bound to our rock we will inevitably stagnate and disappear. As Earth civilization advances into the 21st century we move toward the transition from type zero to type…

The visit to the LA’s space shuttle highlighted the story that began in a small town of Palmdale, an hour drive from Los Angeles where a space shuttle was built in a galaxy called the Milky-Way. The space shuttle flew over 100 million miles and was in the outer space for over one year of its lifetime. The dynamic shuttle finally retired to its sunny hometown and continues to delight and educate school children. The Endeavor made its final historic flight in 2015 followed by a breathtaking road…

In luge, many tracks lack start houses. Athletes are left in the cold wearing paper-thin suits, under which are only t-shirts and tight fitting shorts. When we get cold, we get stiff. This results in a struggle to drive our sleds properly, leading to a higher chance of crashing. Frustrat-ingly, we’re unable to wear anything thicker underneath our suits because anything too thick will lead to us being far less aerodynamic, and, in consequence, making us slower. To solve this dilemma, I came up…

We researched Pluto’s orbit, physical properties, and history to give us a broad understanding of what Pluto is like and to see if a mission to Pluto would be feasible and beneficial to NASA. We found that Pluto has a unique orbit compared to other planets — it is both extremely elliptical and sometimes crosses Neptune's orbit. Pluto is also incredibly small and cold. It contains ice on it’s surface and was only discovered about 100 years ago. Because of what I learned, I believe that It would…

Activity 4: Egg Drop Lesson Objective: Students will design, build and implement a safe carrier in which to drop an egg (interplanetary rover). Set-Up: All supplies can be left on a communal table. Students will need to first come up with a design and supply list for their carrier. Once it has been approved by their facilitator they can start to choose what they will need. Demo and discussion: Because it is topical, start your discussion off with a brief synopsis of the New Horizons probe…

The Vitality of Privatized Space Endeavors More often than is recognized, the human world relies on science. Humans, unlike any other species on Earth have mastered the practice of using science to shape the natural world in their image, and mold it to their benefit. This practice has served humans well on this planet, but one can’t help but wonder what future opportunities may lie beyond Earthly borders. If humankind could implement the same kinds of successful appropriation, extraction, and…

call Earth, there is a possibility that there are more living things out there in space, either in this galaxy, or in another. People like to refer to the beings that may or may not exist in space as “aliens.” This term does not fit the description well, because you can also refer to a person who is from a different country or nation as an alien. The term scientists use for the beings that may or may not exist in space is “extraterrestrial.” The S.E.T.I. Institute is an organization that…

Space Shuttle The space missions by NASA involve the exploration of our space by pushing for more scientific and technical skills. It is indeed useful for us in addressing the fundamental concerns especially concerning the solar system. Through space missions, the exploration is expanded by using the technology. The missions are essential in integrating technology in form of robotic missions (Xu, & Kanade, 2010). For any successful endeavor as observed in the science center. The translunar space…

Sony Pictures A team of scientists on board the International Space Station intercept a probe returning from Mars with the aim of conducting research on something found on the surface. To much fanfare back on Earth, the team discover a single cell organism and give it the name CALVIN. Under a microscope, Hugh Derry (Ariyon Bakare) becomes fascinated by the discovery and its rapidly evolving…

multiple, repeated transitions, or different locations changing with different characteristics. These mineral rich locations may have possibly been habitable in the past. The purpose of exploring Mars is because it is the next destination for human space exploration. We must learn about its environment in order to protect valuable research equipment or lives that are sent into its territory. Because Mars and Earth have many similarities, it is an opportunity for us to learn more about our own…
