Space Persuasive Speech

When and where are they going?

Would you like to travel into outer space or even go the moon? Many people dream of space travel, but you can 't just fly there in a jet plane. Jet engines work by using oxygen from the air to burn their fuel. And of course there is little or no oxygen in space depending on where you 're headed. Fuel cannot burn without oxygen. The only kind of engine that will work in space is called a rocket engine. This is because it carries its own oxygen supply. This is also where the National Aeronautics and Space Administration netter known as NASA come into play. I bet you were thinking to yourself, "Yes!" I would love to into space, but I bet you don 't know all the time, effort, and money that are put toward just one
Army and Navy rocketry labs. Second the competition between Army and Navy, while in the best tradition of Sports, was resulting in duplication of effort. Congress set up NASA to oversee and coordinate American non-military space research. It was fortunate to inherit over a decade of research by the Rocket and Satellite Research Panel and important contributions of the International Geophysical Year. Because of all the vital data that had had been compiled NASA was off to a flying
One problem is that NASA is facing a rush of retirees. A pipeline once filled with American science and engineering graduates is shrinking. Students no longer see the aerospace industry as a choice career path. Higher-paying private sector jobs are alluring, and interest in federal service is declining. Together, those factors raise serous questions about NASA 's ability to recruit and retain a new generation of scientists, engineers and technologists needed to send astronauts back to the moon by 20250 and then on to Mars years after that. Nearly 40 percent of the 18,146 people at NASA are age 50 or older. Those with 20 years government now are eligible for retirement. Twenty-two percent of NASA workers are age 55 are older. Those with 30 years of service are eligible for retirement benefits. The NASA employees over 60 outnumber those under 30. There is a proposed list of the reaming space shuttle launches until 2010. The Atlantis and Discovery being the two main shuttles listed. The Boss of NASA Sean O 'Keefe is the big gun picked by President Bush to show that NASA counts. He wants to cut costs, but his goal is returning NASA to its heyday, thinking way beyond the next generation of Jimmy Neutron tech, not just driving space ships. The focus will be on developing new aeronautics; space based spying, medicines, and propulsion systems. The objective is to reinstall what made this place
