Pros And Cons Of Outer Space

In Kennedy’s speech, he claimed that the United States would reach the moon by the end of the decade. He used multiple metaphors throughout the speech, he even compared the idea of space exploration to that of climbing Mount Everest. One of his most famous lines from this speech is, “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard”. This quote from his speech is an example of the usage of Pathos, in the fact that it provokes an emotional response from his audience.

In 1957, Sputnik 1 was launched into space. It was the world’s first artificial satellite, created by the Soviet Union, and was the object that began the Space Race. The launch of this satellite came as an unpleasant surprise to the United States (“The Space Race”). Less than a month later, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 2, which carried a dog, Laika, in it (“6 Key Events of the Space Race”). A year later, in 1958, the United States retaliated by launching Explorer 1.

The introduction into the space program took ahold of the world throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s. With Apollo 11 making it to the moon, anything seemed possible. Although following missions made going to the moon seem routine, Apollo 13 was named the successful failure. Even with everything that went wrong, the teamwork and the leadership used to finish the mission ultimately got the pilots home safely. The program was the third planned to land men on the moon and the seventh manned mission to space.

The Space Race While the Cold War was going on the Soviets send their first probe to orbit the moon...Luna 2.Then in 1961 the Soviets send the first man to orbit the Earth (Yuri Gagarin) flying in the Vostok 1. (“Apollo 11”) A month later on May 5th the first American was sent to space (but not to orbit. )Apollo 8 was launched from Cape Kennedy at 7:50 A.M. on December,21,1968,Apollo 8’s mission goal was to orbit the moon. It was a successful, mission (Udvar). Seven months later the Soviets suffered from a launch pad explosion.

JFK increased spending on the space program in order to try and get ahead in the space race. He was the first president to ask Congress for money to help land an American man onto the moon. On February 20, 1962, astronaut John Glenn orbited the Earth three times and safely landed in the Atlantic Ocean. After this accomplishment, the U.S. was now equal in space exploration to the Soviet Union. His actions and dedication to the space program eventually contributed to landing a man on the moon in 1969.

Then after that moment, they heard the bang that is why they said that they had their eyes upon them because of the reason that the oxygen that they had on the spacecraft was getting out. Also one of the men (Fred) said," The gas that was coming out and it was the oxygen" and from that point, on the Apollo 13 mission went from landing on the Moon to saving their lives. In the Apollo 13, there were three men, and they had a mission to land on the moon. When they were on their way to do their mission, their oxygen tank exploded, and they were losing their oxygen. Apollo 13 had a disaster that was mostly important, because there were people (three men) inside losing their oxygen.

243). This event lead to the U.S. launching their own satellite, known as Explorer I, in 1958 as well as being the first country to send a man into space in 1961. The establishment of NASA in 1958 is arguably the biggest legacy left behind from this time, as it is the biggest and most funded space agency in the world today, but the accomplishment of sending the first man to the moon on July 20th, 1969. The captivation of the world and the legacy of space

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. They ended up making a course correction to face the earth using Aquarius then stared up odyssey riding it back to earth parachuting into the

Surprisingly, there are websites for average people to track space debris in real time such as Stuff in Space and SATVIEW. The US Surveillance Space Network has a database that routinely catalog manmade space debris pieces you can downloa from the US Strategic Command Center website. Tracking Space Debris in The Future Tracking space junk is not a thing of the past or made for rocket scientists but average people can get in on the action. Space object tracking has revolutionize itself and will continue to increase with technological advancements. With debris tracking information, nations will become more responsible about what they send up in space because any mistakes or flaws can have unseen detrimental consequences years

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. So, shouldn’t we be learning about science and how to make progress, instead of looking back at the old days when it was a miracle to just to go to the moon?
