Understanding space‚ the untouched vast territory beyond our world‚ has been the goal of human technological evolution for centuries. In 1955‚ President Eisenhower announced that the United States would launch a man-made satellite into the unexplored universe‚ thus beginning the space race. At this same time‚ tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union were rising as the Cold War was ongoing. Since the competition between the countries was higher than ever‚ not four days had passed since

Race". This all began when the Russians sent the first satellite into space in 1958 called Sputnik. Soon after‚ Americans did the same. The U.S. followed in the footsteps of the U.S.S.R. with sending animals into space. When they sent the first human into space‚ Yuriy Gagaran‚ it became evident that the race to the moon had begun. In 1963‚ President John F. Kennedy made a speech saying "We will go to the moon in this decade amongst other things‚ not because they are easy but because they are hard

The oceans of our planet hold many mysterious to us today. "The deepest a human has ever gone underwater is about seven miles‚ while the deepest ocean is about forty-three miles deep"(CBSnews). We have not seen so much of our oceans with our own eyes. "Some 95% of our oceans"(Should we be Exploring) that is a lot of room for finding

Dr. Stephen Petranek said‚ ”Some of the greatest advantages in civilization and technology‚ came because we explored.” Humans should not colonize Mars. If humans colonized Mars‚ humans would barely be able to survive. Mars lacks two very crucial products to survive‚ food and oxygen. Humans of the future would not benefit with colonizing Mars because humans who go to Mars‚ will have a risky voyage‚ there is not oxygen‚ and it will cost a lot of money to arrive on Mars. The voyage to Mars is very risky

The third of three NASA tragedies occurred in February of 2003. During re-entry after two week mission‚ the Columbia shuttle broke apart. A thorough investigation linked the cause to a section of the silica ceramic insulation foam that lined the underbelly of the spacecraft. The entire crew was killed. Lost or damaged insulation tiles have been a reoccurring issue that never escalated into life threatening status until now. During the investigation‚ NASA officials noticed that a chunk of foam

Space Exploration and Colonization: Using Technology and Human Enhancements in our Race for Space Since the beginning of man ’s existence on this earth‚ the night time sky has held awe and wonder. The questions of what may exist have long been pondered and are chronicled throughout the written history of our species. Technology and science allowed early scientists to prove the sun as the center of the solar system as well as many planets besides earth orbiting that very sun. It later allowed

From the launch on May 14‚ 1973‚ to the return of its final crew on Feb. 8‚ 1974‚ the Skylab program proved that humans can live and work in outer space for extended periods of time. Pete Conrad‚ Paul Weitz and Joe Kerwin spent 28 days in orbit as the first crew of Skylab. Alan Bean‚ Jack Lousma and Owen Garriott‚ the second crew‚ spent 59 days in skylab. The third
