Essay On Space Shuttle

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

Ray Bradbury’s 1950 dystopian novel, The Rocket is a short science fiction classic based on a man who fantasizes of travelling to space. This futuristic tale communicates, how anyone is authorized to travel to space without any prior experience and preparation on how to operate and navigate a rocket. The story of the The Rocket, is based during a more advanced time in the future as anyone at that time is able to fly to space as long as they have money to support their trip, the protagonist is a father, named Fiorello who wants to bring his family to space, but to do that he must save a lot of money as the trips are far too expensive, nobody believes that he will be able to accomplish this task and even when people are that it’s impossible

The authors concept was to set a futuristic setting, but not too futuristic. The limitations of space travel, including factors like weight and time, were very important to the story due to the whole book being about the difficulties of retrieving a stranded astronaut from Mars. The chapters are not very long, with the novel being made from twenty-six chapters. These short chapters reflect how the story is composed of many different small issues that are needed to be fixed by Mark and NASA, creating many sections of the book being about a variety of different problem solving

Meanwhile in outer space the astronauts were suffering in freezing conditions, began to argue with each other, and carbon dioxide was approaching dangerous levels. Ground Control did end up quickly inventing a way with the limited resources to make the square filter from Apollo to be used in the round opening of Aquarius. Nevertheless, they made it work using a sock, duct tape, tubes and the limited materials the astronauts would have in space. The quick thinking worked successfully and bought them more time but they were still stuck in space.

The space shuttle, however, was not the only positive thing that came from the popular inventions in the 1980s. The computer and the internet assisted in some ways with the space travel and the space inventions, not to mention that the internet allowed the space program to communicate agile and more efficiently. These inventions, however, did not only affect the space program, but also communication, medicines, education, and much

“You’re sending me into space in a convertible. There will be HAB [an inflatable balloon-like house for other planets] canvas attached to the holes. It will provide enough aerodynamics in Mars’s Atmosphere. So it’s a ragtop, much better” (Weir 330). This shows suspense, because this is about to be the most dangerous thing that he has ever done in his entire life.

He was known as a worldwide hero for being the first person to walk on the moon. In 1978 Armstrong received presidential Medal of Freedom, and in 2009 he received congressional gold medal and the collier trophy. (Smith, John M, and Tim Cawkwell, the World Encyclopedia of the Film) Neil Armstrong’s impact on society was big because he was the

Stranded on Mars is a difficult situation, but being alone and a slim chance of being rescued Mark is unlikely to survive. With the crew that left Mark returning to save him, he must travel over 3,200 kilometers in a modified rover that is not intended to travel that far. With limited food, air, and water his chances of making it to the rescue zone are not great, but Mark is persistent to try and save his life regardless. Evaluating why Mark is on Mars, predicting if he will be rescued, and visualizing the planet Mars was simple since the author did an outstanding job writing this book.

In 1969, the first person landed on the moon. One of the astronauts that walked on this faraway planet made a famous speech, “This is one small step for man, and one giant leap for mankind.” This was a huge event for America and for the world, but do we need to remember it and study it forever? Since that historic day, hundreds of rockets have gone into space. We have explored other planets, including Mars, and I am sure that as technology advances, someday people will live on other planets.

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 first, was to place a manned space capsule into a orbital track circling the Earth. The second, was to figure out how space affected humans and their ability to work in that environment. The last objective was to successfully and safely recover the capsule and person inside back to the surface of Earth. However, before NASA could put a man in a capsule they had to make sure it was safe.

An astronaut named Yuri Gagarin was launched in space, known as the first man outside the Earth’s orbit in the spacecraft Vostok I. These incidents hurt the pride and ego that caused the American’s to take a step at such drastic measures even though they faced many failures in the space race. The events in the space race still continue… After this incident years went by and finally the day arrived where America will take the upper hand. Apollo 11 was launched into space in July 20th, 1965. The space craft was named The Eagle.

Galbraith mentioned Fermi’s Paradox, which instantly peaked my interest. He described it as a theory stating there are billions of stars in our universe, and eventually different planets started to develop, so their must be other planets like Earth out there somewhere. The question is why haven’t we found them. Galbraith mentioned that because we have had trouble with sustainability outside of our own atmosphere, maybe other Earth-like planets are in the same boat as we are. This paradox got me thinking about space travel, and if we will be able to visit other planets like Earth one day.

The Apollo program was a series of planned, manned space flight missions with the ultimate goal of sending a man from the United States to the moon before the Russians could send their own person. The mission that landed the first people on the moon was Apollo 11. This mission became famous worldwide as people watched the first steps Neil Armstrong took on the moon from the television. This momentous event changed the tide of the space race and it displayed that America was superior in space technology, programs and showed that the United States was the true world power. The United States did beat the Russians to the moon in the end; despite the Russians having launched their satellites into space first.

“The nobility of the human spirit grows harder for me to believe in. War, zealotry, greed, malls, narcissism. I see a backhanded nobility in excessive, impractical outlays of cash prompted by nothing loftier than a species joining hands and saying “I bet we can do this.” Yes, the money could be better spent on Earth.
