Vision for Space Exploration

The second tier of needs includes security of the family, resources, and health. My next order of business would be creating jobs and organizing the protection of the society. The council member of safety would be in charge of sending several exploration parties to look for building materials like wood and stone, and for possible threats to the colony like dangerous animals and edible materials once the food storage runs out. Raw materials would be used to build a hospital building, and health…

We built our rockets with little trouble. I didn’t finish, but because Joshua and Zack both did, we had no problems. We tested both rockets at varying angles and fuel levels to determine what angle and amount of water would allow the rockets to go the farthest. For some reason, we didn’t have all the data necessary to determine what the optimal fuel level and angle of launch would be for Zack’s rocket, but we did have enough to determine what it is for Joshua’s rocket. His rocket had an issue…

spacecraft. SpaceX came from the bottom of success when they began since it was a brand new company and space travel was extremely expensive making space travel harder to achieve. Finally though, SpaceX launched their first spacecraft called, “Dragon.” During this flight they not only successfully launched their spacecraft they, “became the first privately developed spacecraft to visit the International Space Station (ISS),” (Preface, Seedhouse). When docking with the ISS, Dragon showed just how…

the Earth not safe to be on. In the novel, humans are known as the “Colony”. This exposure of radiation to the Earth was called the Cataclysm, which killed millions of people and left many infected. The survivors were then shipped out to space and put into space cities (ships). The government knew that they had to do something, and it had…

going on space missions only make the already expensive mission exponentially more expensive. Humans are also very adapted to this earth and are susceptible to much harm in the outer world (Dunbar). This fact makes it difficult to keep humans safe while also keeping the cost of the mission down. Another reason the cost would go up is the fuel. If we send humans to outer space, we not only have to get them there, we also have to get them back (Krauss). Although sending humans to space is…

on the moon, and said, “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” This mission to moon would not have existed if it wasn’t for John F Kennedy’s contribution to the space program, one of his many achievements while president. John F Kennedy was known for improving domestic policy, expanding the space program, and initiating civil rights One achievement of John F Kennedy would be the establishment and enhancement of a domestic program known as Peace Corps.The spark of the…

that the SpaceX projects have encountered has been devastating. The largest, most impactful equipment failure that SpaceX has had to deal with is the crash of Falcon 9. SpaceX has a contract with NASA to do 12 cargo missions to the space station and resupply the space station. SpaceX’s…

“I'll believe in people settling on Mars at about the same time I see people settling in the Gobi Desert”. Says a sci-fi author Bruce Sterling. In my opinion i think we should not have a manned-mission to Mars. A manned-mission to Mars is just too dangerous for people. First, Mars has a very cold climate which is a physical problem for humans. For example, the average temperature is -61 degrees Fahrenheit on Mars. Since the temperature is so harsh it could cause a serious problem to a…

What began as a simple childlike fascination with space and aviation when I watched my first episode of Star Trek as a young girl, has followed me through the years, subtly influencing my choices throughout my studies. To me, the engineers in that series were the true heroes; no matter what happened, they were always able to draw out a “little more power” or come up with the creative work-around (albeit at the last second) that allowed the crew to collectively maneuver themselves out of whatever…

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is a group of Russians that are trying to send humans into space but like all experiments they have to take tests. After sputnik when they sent a satellite into space they wanted to send humans into space but they did not know how.Then after many other animals were tested they tested dogs because they are the closest animals to a human. Laika was the first dog sent into space making a landmark on human history november 3, 1957. She was first dog to orbit the…
