My secret ambition – to fly into space

There are two ways to go into space. You can pay $200,000 for a trip, or you can become an astronaut and make scientific researches in space shuttles or in open space.
Do you know how hard is to become an astronaut? The astronaut career includes contact with the highest technologies, known to mankind, the most avant-garde scientific developments and last but not least, a unique experience and adrenaline. To apply for NASA, for example, you must fill in the appropriate form, which is located on the site of NASA. If you meet the conditions will likely be invited to the one week interview for different types of tests. If indicators are sufficient good you will navigate in the box "candidate Cosmonaut”.
But that is my dream work, so I am prepared to do all the training and the huge competition. Every two years, NASA announced a list of about 100 men and women, selected from thousands of candidates. If I am one of these, I will be lucky — to follow two years of hard work and training in Space Center Houston. During these two years I`ll have courses in basic sciences - mathematics, astronomy, physics and geology.
Of course to become an astronaut I should have a good physical training for survival in different conditions, deep diving, simulation of micro-gravity, drills in environments with high and low pressure, working with space suit. I will need to go and a special test for swimmers: three lengths in the 25 meter swimming pool in full equipment.
At the end of the two years training I will have the chance to be selected for a real space mission and that will be the reason of all those preparations. I really hope to get the help that I need from Masterclass and get the chance to receive expert tuition from a professional astronaut.
So if you are asking me why I want to be an astronaut – there`s only one reason:
I don’t want to drink recycled water from my own urine and the urine of other crew members, I don`t want

    One of which was Christa McAuliffe, a teacher from Concord, New Hampshire. Christa submitted her application on the final day that they were accepted. From the starting pool of applicants the field was narrowed to 114 semi-finalists. These semi-finalists were sent to Washington D.C. for interviews, and from them 10 finalists were chosen. The remaining candidates were sent to NASA headquarters and were further questioned until a winner was determined. On July 19, 1985, Vice President George Bush made the announcement of the winner, and the world learned that Christa McAuliffe was to be the first teacher in space. (The Teacher Selection…

    The speech that John F. Kennedy spoke about during his time was about the Aerospace Medical Center and how the United States should be involved with it. This speech, “Remarks at the Dedication of the Aerospace Medical Center,” has valid points to why America should be involved with space. Kennedy begins his speech by addressing his audience, the adventurers and scientists, who would be intrigued to help with Kennedy’s side of working with space. His purpose seems to be that he wants to discover what the New Frontier is about as he kept mentioning it for more than three years.…

    There were a lot of requirements in the selection process for being an astronaut. First, you had to be young – between the ages of 25 to 40. Also, you couldn’t be too tall – shorter than 5’11” – or you wouldn’t fit in the spacecraft. You also had to have so much “air time” which I had accomplished in being in the Wars. Also, there were many hard tests both mentally and physically. NASA tested 508 astronauts and I was one of the seven selected. I was so excited and proud to be a part of that program for my Country.…

    It allows humans to acquire different forms of data such as solar waves, meteor showers, and even for us to see stars die. Space is like a massive vacuum that has no oxygen so if a person gets caught in space without a spacesuit and supporting equipment they will die. Astronauts can also have complications adjusting to the harsh environments that are experienced on the moon and other planets, which is unhealthy and can be life threatening (apecsec.org). Often times, an astronaut will also experience sickness such as nausea while traveling through the atmosphere to reach orbit. Another health risk is caused by easier exposure to UV rays from the sun which can cause a variety of cancers to the human body. There is also risk of an unknown diseases being attracted while traveling through the atmosphere (occupytheory.org). Along with the great dangers of space exploration, it also comes at a very high financial…

    Space exploration has always been fascinating, and it gives us hope of finding something new. According to the video “Space Race: 20th Century Timeline and Firsts,” “though the idea of space travel was discussed for hundreds of years, the field of rocketry got its first big boost in the early 20th century.” A century ago, space exploration was just a concept or a dream for mankind, but this idea had been accomplished by the developed of powerful rocket which overcome the force of gravity. In the beginning, on March 16, 1926 an American physicist, Robert A. Goddard, launched the first liquid fuel rocket in history. After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union created their own missile programs. On October 4th 1957, the Soviets launched the first satellite into space. Later on, a national goal of “Landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth within a decade” was set by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 (Space Race). On July 20, 1969, Astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first man walking onto the moon. The space exploration improved for the century, and now the advances of technology have pushed space travel to go further and discover other planets in solar system. However, in order to explore universe in details, many scientists have endeavored very hard to invent more new high technologies. Therefore, with its high technologies, space exploration has a lot of impacts on us today. For example, with the satellite system put up in the space, the weather forecast today has a high accuracy level, and this accuracy has helped in preventing many calamities. Besides the weather forecast, the satellite system also helps people to transmit the news or media all over the world almost instantly. Moreover, the researching space becomes a high paying jobs for many…

    My interest in space and the space program began when I was a small child. Initially I was focused primarily on aircraft and space vehicles, especially the Saturn V rocket. My grandfather worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration from the day it was founded on October 1, 1958, until the space shuttle program. He retired as Chief of the Shuttle Simulation Division at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas in 1983. So I can say my discussions with my grandfather and the fascinating stories he would tell sparked my interest in the space program and my desire to pursue a career in this field. My hope is that obtaining an Aeronautical Engineering Degree at Texas A&M University will catapult me into a career in the space program.…

    Which is why ability to adapt to different situations is of importance, versatility and flexibility are key. An individual as such should also possess both technical and interpersonal skills. Technical skills are an important qualification; it is a necessity to be able to competently carry out scientific and technical tasks. I believe interpersonal skills are a critically important qualification because; characteristics such as courage, tenacity, social adaptability, ability to cooperate, humility and tolerance of different cultures and lifestyles are necessary; especially if you are having to deal with intelligent life. Which is why I believe Dolph Lundgren would best represent Earth as its communicator with intelligent life being out there. Not only does he acquire many of the qualifications but also he is proven to be introverted and extroverted (referring back to him being an actor). He can be a leader but also lead. He knows how to tolerate isolation as well as be social when needed for interaction. With these qualifications, and his common knowledge with chemical engineering, nothing could go…

America can rise above all the nations if they take risks which can motivate citizens the relevance of space programs. A question that has been rising over the years is, is going into space programs worth it? Many can argue that it is a scrupulous field to join and that it’s risky.

    Although it is difficult, it is worth doing, because it allows students able to measure their energies and skills and accustoms them to using these skills more efficiently and with wider experience than ever before. The story of the 1960's Space Race is a perfect illustration of why students should be pursuing challenging work, even when the benefits are not easy to see. Other than beating the Soviets to the moon, sending men there did not have obvious benefits for America. But in the following decades greater advances in technology and flight were made than would have been possible without the great effort put forth by thousands of Americans. President John F. Kennedy talked about the importance of doing things that are hard, even when the benefits are obscured by the enormity of the difficulties. This quote applies as well to the HAB program: "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, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to…
