If you took one heat dispersing tile on a space shuttle and heated it up tp red hot with a blowtorch, in the time it would take to put the torch down, the tile would already be room temperature again. This is just one of the numerous innovations in technology created by the push of mankind into space. In his book Space Chronicles, Neil DeGrasse Tyson addresses the ideas, motivators, and benefits of space exploration. In this book, he addresses the idea that we need not only need to continue exploring space, but we need to make it a top priority. As mentioned, innovations in space “cross pollinate” with scientific and technological fields on earth.
Did the landing on the moon actually happen, or was it all a lie? It seems to me that the moon landing was real. The U.S. is an advanced country and in 1969 we had the technology to bring a person on the moon. After many tests, we were able to successfully get a person, Neil Armstrong, to the moon. Although we were losing in
They attained the majority of their data through NASA launched satellites and rockets. Which was another purpose of the Apollo missions, to collect data. Consequently, the Apollo Program provided the scientists with measurable attributes such as air temperature and cosmic ray impacts, that would’ve been hard or even impossible to find (NASA). If atmospheric scientists didn’t have access to such information then climate changes wouldn’t have been noticed, or fixed. The Apollo missions not influenced them with important discoveries like climate change, but with many more discoveries.
The novel The Martian was written in a time period of when humanity decided to send astronauts to Mars. Andy Weir shows that the red planet is uninhabitable without an artificial environment and adequate supplies. Mars’ weather and atmosphere has been studied throughout time, however it comes increasingly known that humanity can not reside on the Mars without immense caution. Research has suggested for many years that Mars has a thin atmosphere and is a cold planet, however advances in technology has allowed groups like NASA (National Aeronautics
There would be a huge amount of guessing when it comes to the technology needed to live on mars if this
The cons to sending humans to Mars are taken too many years to go to the mars and come back to the Earth and costs too much to go to mars. From wonderopolis, “Mars is almost 250 million miles from Earth so scientists estimate a roundtrip to Mars and back would take 400-450 days.” Also from STACKEXCHANGE, “The cost of sending people to Mars has been the main obstacle of any mission. Estimates of cost have ranged from $6 billion to $500 billion for various crewed programs.” That money could be use in more useful projects.
On July 20, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the moon: or perhaps not. That is what some people think. They believe the "Moon Landings" were faked, in order to cheat the public out of billions of dollars and so that we could win the space race against the Soviet Union. According to conspiracy theorists, the scientists at N.A.S.A. realized during the Apollo missions that either is was technically impossible to reach the Moon ir that it cost too much. So, the government built a secret movie studio somewhere in the southwest and used special effects to pretend that the astronauts had landed on the Moon.
Introduction This is a report on the Mars Polar Lander review board report as per this student’s estimation. The Mars Polar Lander and Deep Space 2 Missions were launched on 3rd January 1999, using a single space vehicle, from Kennedy Space Center. After entering the Mars atmosphere, the communication ended, but did not restart after 24 minutes as scheduled. Finally after several failed attempts on re-establishing communication, on 16th December 1999, the Deputy Director of the Laboratory appointed a special review board for the failed missions [1].
Why do you think NASA should be unfunded? I think they NASA should be funded because they have an excellent crew and the projects made wouldn’t have happened without NASA. First, they’ve gotten a man on the moon! There’s rovers on Mars now discovering if people can live on there in the next couple of decades. They’ve sent a voyager to Jupiter to discover the patterns of the planet.
The space program had been using computers since the 1960s, but Americans had just discovered computers in the 1980s. Now that Americans were discovering computers, they were able to improve them as they made them. The advancements in computer technology allowed the construction of the space shuttle. The space shuttle was able to transport cargo to and from outer space like a space truck. The space shuttle, Columbia, rose from the launch pad at Cape Canaveral on April 12, 1981 and was the first space shuttle to leave the ground.
The space race was a part of the Cold War. The space race began as the Soviet Union sent Sputnik and the first man into space. Sputnik was launched on October 04, 1957. Sputnik is world’s first artificial satellite. The word Sputnik means satellite in Russian.
NASA bumped him down to the Apollo 14 mission - which was the 5th space capsule to land on the moon with human life forms inside - because they said he needed more time to train. They launched Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell and Stuart Roosa in Apollo 14 on January 31, 1971. They landed safely enough with just a few minor setbacks, something that NASA always seemed to have at one point or another. Shepard and one of his crew members, Ed Mitchell, went on the moonwalk to find more geological samples even though Shepard made it very clear to a number of geologists that rocks weren’t important to him.
I believe the government has lied to many people all around the world. During this time, we were losing two different battles, one was the Vietnam War, the other a space race against the Soviet Union, and Russia. There are many things not everyone knows about Apollo 11, but you see
My first reason to believe that the Apollo 11 moon landing was real is, over 400,000 people, and it took 10 years to make so why would you waste millions of dollars on a spacecraft and not use it for what it’s purpose is. My second piece of information is the Apollo 11 was being tracked by the Soviet Union by satellite. The United States of America was in space race with the Soviet Union to get a man on the moon. If the Americans didn’t make it to the moon the Russians would have told everybody that we didn’t. The third piece of evidence is that Japan took pictures in 2009 of the the places where Apollo 11 landed on the moon.
Moon landings Essay There has been a question asked for many years and that question is, was the first moon landing fake or real. The year that the so called first moon landing was 1969. During 1963 John F. Kennedy was the president and started the race for the first man on the moon. Also during this time the Vietnam war was going on.
