Vision for Space Exploration

said Neil Armstrong as he took his first step on the moon. Space exploration has been around for many years. It can help or hinder our society depending on what is achieved. Space exploration can also be expensive. Space exploration is valuable because it creates job opportunities and helpful technology for US citizens. Space exploration has created many job opportunities for US citizens. It has created over *60,000 jobs. “... the space agency employs over 60,000 people including private…

Being the most undiscovered place, besides the ocean, the planets, the stars, the galaxies, the entire universe has been around and will be around for as long as we know it. Everyday, the place we know as “space” continues to astonish astronomers with new findings and new developments as it keeps expanding day by day. After examining several career opportunities, in order to obtain a career in astronomy, one must consider the financial obligations of college, professional growth and finances and…

NASA opened for business almost 60 years ago on October 1, 1958. Since then, NASA has relied on the government to fund some of their needs. NASA spent $5.6 billion on Earth science, planetary science, and astrophysics (NASA). $8.4 billion on Human Exploration Operations (NASA). $790 million for aeronautical research and much more (NASA). Only about 4.5% of NASA’s budget is aeronautical research. NASA spends much of its money to help improve our knowledge on many aspects and science about our…

Discrepancies This scenario is not a perfect representation of the orbit of Mars for many reasons. First of all, it does not take the effects of the forces on Mars due to other planets’ gravity. These forces are extremely small, but over time might make an eventual difference in the orbit of Mars. Due to forces such as these, the orbit of Mars has changed and will continue to change over billions of years.. Additionally, while this model implies that Mars has been orbiting around our Sun…

Solomon October 21, 2016 ESS 102 Rough Draft Long Term Space Flight The idea of space traveling for a long period of time may be an appealing idea to that of many. However, they fail to recognize that there are many disadvantages to long term space flight. In this paper, the effects of long term space flight will be discussed: how a microgravity environment affects the human body; what kinds of potential dangers are there in long term space travel; as well as what research is being done in…

accomplished many feats over the past 50 years. From putting the first primate in space, to the first man on the moon, NASA has done things that no man had previously done before. While they might not have been the first program to accomplish some of these feats, what they have done will go down in history forever. On May 5, 1961, the first American sent into space was Alan B. Shepard Jr. This was done in his Mercury space capsule. The first U.S. astronaut to orbit Earth was John H. Glenn Jr.…

One of humankind's greatest achievement is space exploration, a testament to what is possible when people from around the world work together to push the boundaries of what we can do. Over spring break I traveled to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral and I learned a lot about the history of space exploration and what is currently being built for future missions. I believe that engineering the tools of scientific discovery will lead to the most important breakthroughs of the 21st century…

that use to be known as Earth. Around the year 2025 when the first musk ship landed on Mars, so many people called them mad, the media said they were never going to survive; Little did they know that Mr Musk, the madman that spearheaded this exploration had his own survival plan, not just for him but for the 250 crew members with him. Now centuries later, that madness; that single act of innovation stemming from the need to safe the human race is now the only thing saving the human race. The…

Many people argue that this is a waste of money. If we stop sending human beings into space, this money can be used for other useful research in the science field including the depths of the ocean, which is close to 90 percent unexplored (Etzioni). The United States alone has a space program budget of over seventeen and half billion dollars just for the year 2015 (Rogers). In great regards many people question why we spend that annually…

artificial photosynthesis, the ability to keep the Silk Leaf “alive” is something to keep an eye on. There is no promise in self sustainability of the chloroplasts within the leaves, so this means that there must be a large source of leaves if brought into space. If used for architectural purposes, the Silk Leaf must be easily replaced because of its inability to self sustain. If used worldwide as Melchiorri has hoped, there must be a mass supplier of these leaves to provide considerable amounts…
