Apollo 13 Disadvantages

=m_r+f_c Vρ_w Where: m_r= mass of the empty rocket f_c= critical filling fraction of water Assuming the mass of air is negligible. So our initial mass is equal to: m_o=0.1+(0.21)(0.002)(1000) m_o=0.52 kg Plugging into Tsiolkovsky's equation: ∆v=(24.49 )ln⁡(0.52/0.1) ∆v=40.37 m/s Given that the rocket is launching from rest we can expect the rocket to have a final velocity v_f=40.37 m/s. Next we must calculate the amount of work done by the gas itself after expelling the water.

This equates to 88.45MJ of energy using the equation W= Fx. The required energy output of the catapult system must be variable. Smaller, lower mass aircraft will require less force to be exerted by the catapult to reach take-off velocity as compared to heavier aircraft with higher take-off velocities. There is a danger of over stressing the aircraft airframe if the exerted forces are too great and consequently reducing the aircraft lifespan.

The movie Interstellar tells the story of a space exploration made by a crew of astronauts, led by Cooper in search for a new habitable planet. It all started when resources became scarce, leading to starvation. The problem was exacerbated when oxygen started to become scarce also. Thus, as time passes by would suffocate oxygen-dependent species such as human beings inhabiting the Earth. The NASA proposed space exploration to search for a new habitable planet and if successful would either bring the people to that new planet or build a colony of human beings there with the use of artificial wombs, if the former would be impossible to do.

The moon landing was the most inportant event in NASA history. 1.If it wouldn’t have been for the landing we wouldn’t know what we know about our galaxy. They found water and a trace of life on the moon. 2. If we wouldn’t have known that there was something else out there, because of people wondering they wouldn’t have found water on the moon.

The mission meant to send administrator Jim Lovell and lunar module pilot Fred Haise to the lunar surface, while charge module pilot Jack Swigert stayed in circle. In any case, on April 13, the mission endured a devastating blast that would about fate the spaceflight and its group. Apollo 13's team prepared for making the primary arrival in the Fra Mauro lunar good countries, which seem brighter than the level fields, where the prior two Apollo missions landed. In any case, Apollo 13 conveyed an oxygen tank with a pained history. The tank had been harmed in testing, yet the rocket manufacturers didn't know about an issue.

Interstellar is a science fiction movie that focuses on space travel to save humanity from a dying Earth. In the beginning of the movie we are shown that there is something wrong with climate based on all of the dust storms and dying crops. Although Interstellar does a decent job at showing us that climate change is occurring, the movie actually lacks important aspects of climate change such as explanations and realistic solutions, therefore Interstellar does a terrible job at explaining climate change. In order to show you that Interstellar does a poor job at defining climate change I will explore different aspects of the movie and of climate change.

Mars is 140million miles away, and it would take nine months to get to Mars. Being stuck in a small, dangerous place for nine months knowing you could get easily hurt and that you’re going to die soon would not be fun. Therefore it would not be fun or ok to send people to

Thrust depends on the lift. The lift is in the middle and starting point of the flight so the thrust can help the plane perform better. Another force that can effect the flight of a paper airplane is the force of lift. Lift is when the wing is getting pushed upwards harder than it is getting pushed downwards. If this is happening, then it means gravity is not as strong on the plane as thrust and lift are.

You start to wonder if we really could colonize Mars, and if it would be worth it. You think about the risks involved, the mechanics and the sacrifice behind trading our home planet for another. Red Planet focused quite a bit on the interpersonal relations between people stuck on a ship for half a year to get to Mars, the idea of colonizing the planet with the one female that came on the trip, and how the science of the trip was important, but the other real value was human life. Greg Bear’s book, Moving Mars, also gives the reader hope that Mars is a real possibility, but it puts a lot of focus on colonization issues, such as who’s in charge of what, and to what extent the colony has to depend on/bend to the will of their home planet. Those are things we would need to think about if we wanted to eventually move to Mars and colonize it.

What caused the space shuttle to crash was that a wing was damaged from debris. During the lunch of the space shuttle, Columbia’s 28th mission, a piece of foam broke off from the space shuttle eternal tank and suck to the left wing of the orbit. Pervious shuttle launches had seen damage from minor to major from foam shedding. But engineers suspected that the damage to Columbia was more serious. During the crews 16 days in space, however NASA investigated a foam strike that took place during launch.

There was also a lot of loss. Including the loss of the Apollo 1. Three astronauts lost their lives Edward White, Virgil Grissom and Roger Chaffee. The questions, could we put a man on the moon? How would we do it?

We need to work together to stop polluting because earth won’t last for in eternity. On challenge is political because our government needs to step in. One of the political challenges is the Space Race. Once the United States herd that the Soviet Union launched the first satellite called sputnik, The United States wanted to be the first in space.

Would you consider Apollo 13 a mission success? On April 13, 1970 three brave astronauts were going to the moon, well thats what they thought. I think that this mission was a success even though they didn't go to the moon. They had to work together to survive and go through the scariest times of there lives.

1. Author’s Primary Claim and Summary of Main Points: Recent hurricanes, such as Harvey and Irma, have caused much political unrest among the American people. • Hurricane Irma is one of 16 of the largest category 5 hurricanes that have hit the US • The author shows an astronaut in space looking at the hurricanes hitting Florida, and hurricane Harvey’s effect on Texas. • The phrase “Houston, you have a problem,” is a reference to the Apollo 13 expedition to the moon, where James Lovell called back to base and said “Houston, we have had a problem.”
