As humans step off their home planet into the surrounding solar system and beyond‚ they do not go alone. Machines have preceded them. And as people go into space‚ machines will go along. Of all the machines we have used and imagined‚ none have captured our interest and feelings so strongly as the class of machines called robots. The International Space Station’s new Canadarm2 robotic arm grasps a Spacelab pallet while Canadian mission specialist Chris A. Hadfield helps maneuver it into loading position

hardcore science fiction novel by Andy Weir‚ astronaut Mark Watney finds himself struggling to survive alone on Mars after a freak accident led to him being abandoned by his crewmates. Weir explores an optimistic view of human nature. One of the major themes that emerge from the novel is human nature. The team-up between NASA and the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA) emphasizes the author’s belief that humanity is greater than the sum of its parts.

Should Humans Move to Mars? “It’s a fixer-upper of a planet‚ but we could make it work.” [Elon Musk‚ CEO of SpaceX] The idea of colonizing Mars seems pretty far away‚ but consider Apollo. No one thought it could happen except NASA‚ and it seems like that is true for Mars One. Mars One could help humans more than just unhinging that need to explore and find new things. Colonizing Mars could help people fix dwindling resources‚ fix overpopulation‚ and escape global warming. Natural fuel is a very

In this week’s lab assignment‚ we are asked to research manned spaceflight and provide information on what that mission has given us. I selected the Gemini program which was the second U.S. manned space program. On May 25‚ 1961‚ just 3 weeks after the successful Mercury Program put the first American‚ astronaut Alan Shepard‚ into space‚ President John F. Kennedy announced to the world his goal of sending astronauts to the moon before the end of the decade. Later that year‚ NASA expanded their short

called the Space Race. This was a race to who would be the first country to send a rocket and a human being up into space. Although the Soviet Union was the first to send both a rocket and a human up into space‚ the United States successfully carried out a space mission called Project Mercury. Project Mercury was carried out in 1959 and came to a conclusion in 1963. It was the first human spaceflight program that was undertaken by the United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Physics Space exploration is the discovery and exploration of outer space by means of space technology. Physical exploration of space is conducted both by human spaceflights and by robotic spacecraft. While the observation of objects in space‚ known as astronomy‚ predates reliable recorded history‚ it was the development of large and relatively efficient rockets during the early 20th century that allowed physical space exploration to become a reality. Common rationales for exploring space include

The deep sea is the darkest region of the ocean‚ where sunlight fades to blackness and plants cannot grow. It covers more than half the planet‚ and encompasses nearly 98% (by volume) of all living space on Earth. The harsh and extreme conditions of the deep ocean-crushing pressure‚ corrosive salt water‚ and freezing temperatures have made deep sea exploration nearly as challenging as space exploration‚ and nearly as infrequent. Until recently the deep ocean was thought to be almost completely
