possible dangers of planetary exploration are explained by Richard Greenberg who says that for astronauts there is “the hazard that some infectious extraterrestrial germ might be riding with them” (Source F) when they return home. Astronauts involved in NASA endeavors do not only trust the hundreds of space engineers that built the space shuttle‚ but they also possibly endanger themselves by exposing themselves to a plentiful

EXPLORE The explorative spirit of the Americans inspired projects of manned space flights like the Mercury‚ Gemini‚ and Apollo projects put together by NASA. Projects like these were formed around the ultimate goal of eventually getting an American man to the moon (Webb‚ “Advanced”).

“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

sentimentality becomes a bit overwhelming at times‚ and a few scenes of shaky dialogue feel out of place. Overall‚ the movie is fantastic. Scott’s directing and Damon’s performance combine to make a brand new science fiction classic. Truly a love letter to NASA‚ science‚ and the American space program‚ it’s an inspirational journey. It has a few minor flaws in the script‚ but it truly is another jewel to add the the résumé of the great Ridley

Introduction: “That’s one small step for man‚ one giant leap for mankind.” When that phrase is spoken everyone knows who said it‚ when it happened and what kind of leap it was. It was a leap into space for America. Neil Armstrong said it‚ while accompanied with Buzz Aldrin as they landed on the moon‚ July 20‚ 1969. A third man‚ Michael Collins‚ stayed in orbit‚ and waited for the two to come back‚ and return back to Earth. The “Space Race” was one of the biggest competitions of the mid-to-late 20th

On July 20‚ 1969‚ Astronauts Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Neil Armstrong of Apollo 11 landed on the moon. A few years later on December 14‚ 1972‚ the astronauts of Apollo 17 became the last manned mission to the moon. It seems inconceivable that 43 years later‚ these footprints left by Apollo 17 astronauts were the last of any man. Even more disturbing is the lack of a permanent commemoration or memorial to the accomplishment of those 12 astronauts that made the perilous journey. With all of the

The Tragic Challenger Explosion The Tragic Challenger Explosion Space Travel. It is a sense of national pride for many Americans. If you ask anyone who was alive at the time‚ they could probably tell you exactly where they were when they heard that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon. But all of the success in our space programs is overshadowed by tragedy. On January 28‚ 1986‚ one of the worst disasters in our space program’s history occurred. Many people were watching

Pilot School to train astronauts. Nearly half of all the astronauts participating in the Gemini‚ Mercury‚ and Apollo missions graduated from Yeager’s prestigious class. His teachings and participation in the Space Race later led to the development of NASA‚ proving just how much he pioneered for the industry. After leaving his job as a teacher‚ he resumed test runs‚ but an incident in 1963 almost took his life.
