Space Elevator
Space Elevator

The idea of making space elevator was conceived by Michael Laine, the space elevator still a dream to the scientists and its still on the plan to build it one day, the space elevator will be one of the best inventions in the space career and in the world.

Space elevator advantages is more than rockets because its cheaper and safer to the spacemen, also it will be on easy road to approach the space.

Engineers faces a lot of challenges while sketching the space elevator like choosing the right materials to build the elevator and choosing the best area to set up the elevator, after that they need to build it in a certain way to make the elevator balanced on the spinning earth.

The space elevator has some issues too, one of the problems that there is a lot of debris around the earth like junk made by human or natural matter, these debris may hit the elevator on their way, and that’s why engineers want to choose a strong material to build the elevator, the material must be light in the same time so the land can handle the weight of the long elevator.

Scientists must care about every screw in the space elevator, so they will decrease the rate of problems they will face in the future, also the process of building the elevator must be slow to be sure that there is no mistakes. I think the space elevator can be real and everything is possible in our life, but people must work hard to make their idea a real

    The technology that came from the space race resulted in many things that are used every day, worldwide such as the satellites we use for predicting weather, navigation, worldwide communications such as telephone service, data, television transmission and even the satellite surveillance used to protect countries all over the world. Technology from the Space Race also brought us laptops, the ability to have tele-conferences, which has ultimately lead to the development of Skype and FaceTime allowing people to connect with friends and family all over the world with just the touch of a button. Space Race technology has also been crucial in medical breakthroughs such as Telemedicine, and CAT & MRI Technologies. It even helped Michael DeBakey in the development of the artificial heart pump. Space race technology is found in smaller objects we take for granted every day, such as scratch-resistant lenses, athletic shoes, and cordless power tools¬—even insulation for our…

    For the second breaching experiment I decided to do the “riding the elevator backwards” exercise. I completed three trials of this experiment. Each of the three trials were done on the UCSB campus during the afternoon. I also completed the exercise with a different number of people each time. The results that I got were interesting, in one of the trials the behavior went completely unnoticed and in others it stood out greatly. I also fond it interesting a behavior so small as standing one direction in the elevator has grown to be an expected social convention. Similarly to the first experiment, I also found it interesting how this behavior of facing one direction is taken for granted until somebody steps out of the norm. A few of things that…

    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…

    “Today's rockets are remarkable collections of human ingenuity that have their roots in the science and technology of the past.” Rockets function by blasting a high speed stream of gas through a nozzle or set of nozzles. Blasting out this gas creates a force that propels the rocket in the opposite direction. Continued experimentation and exploration uncovered rocket’s projectile capabilities, eventually leading to our modern space program. The invention of the rocket fueled space exploration and satellite development impacting communication, resource availability and our understanding of the universe.…

    Imagine being afraid of elevators, obese people, not pleasing peers, and claustrophobic. In the story, The Elevator by William Sleator, the main character Martin is afraid of those things listed, and avoids every possible route from the elevator. I can relate to martin, because I fear needles and would do anything to get out of the situation occurring with a needle. In the short story, William Sleator shows that Martin is unable to overcome his fears by building suspense and showing that he will do anything to avoid the elevator.…

    Keely discovered sympathetic vibratory physics, found effect of gravity & developing a form of propulsion. Keely worked on making aerial navigation. John had success in 1893 which lead to making aerial craft. In 1896 he presented to US war department. What the war department thought was especially astounding was lack of acceleration effects. The government was impressed but couldn’t see any reason to use it because wright brothers wouldn’t make a plane until 1903.…

    Lynne came in late and used the executive bathroom elevator to avoid seeing anyone. I’ll be back in a minute Lynne yelled towards Terry, I need to finish my make-up. Don’t spend too much time, we are going on another field trip. Oh, yeah, I remember, I’ll change then. I had fun last night Terry, but you took an awful chance, I could have just as easily have been furious with you. Well either way I win, we have to learn to deal with each other on every level, so either way it works. Which elevator Lynne asked? Don’t people find it odd that we are dressed this way when they see us in the main elevator. Not at all, I’m in research and this isn’t unusual for me or anyone in Division II. If I get dirty in the field, I usually go home and change…

    Artificial gravity is a must have for any and every space station, if the human is living there for a long period of time. If there isn’t any artificial gravity present then the human body is extremely stunned which forces all the biological functions to break down. Astronauts that are in orbit for a long period of time tend to show major decreases in their bone strength, muscular tone, and also their cardiovascular conditioning. The body usually recovers from the lack of artificial gravity when the force of gravity returns, but it takes a while for the bone decalcification to finally recover. The way to create artificial gravity is through a rotating enclosed cylinder. The cylinder is a circular shape, which makes it become circular motion. When needed, the astronauts’ walk on the inside edges of the cylinder, which diameter is 2235 meters. In order to create artificial gravity the rotation is going at a rate of 0.80 rpm. The radius of the cyndrical shaped chambers hold a ratio of rA/rB=3.95. Each chambers job is to create simulation which is supposed to react in response to gravity which is 10.0 m/s^2. The superconductor is pretty much what controls everything that is going on in the cylinder creating circular motion. While the space ship is in flight the super conductor gravitational peaks are observed once the superconductor notices it is passed its critical temperature. The rotating superconductor creates a magnetic field proportional to the angular velocity. Artificial gravity is defined as “the increase or decrease of apparent gravity particularly in space”. Artificial gravity is “achieved” by the use of other forces such as centrifugal force, fictious force, and also somewhat linear acceleration. Circular motion is what brings all three of those factors together to make artificial gravity. Circular motion is “rotation on a circular path or a…
